I'm currently poking at some Dragon Age: The Veilguard fic ideas, and because my favorite DATV character uses a prosthetic leg, I've been doing some research into what living with and using a prosthetic is like, so that I have some idea of how to write this sensitively. It's given me some fun ideas about how prosthetics might work in a medieval fantasy world that does have magic to change things up, and I'm excited to explore those and hopefully do so in a respectful way.
Previously I've done research on things like cake recipes in the 1920s, how long it would've taken to fly from Melbourne to London in 1929 (a long time - but there were in fact passenger routes along some of that distance by that time already, switching off between planes and trains!), and, of course, as most fic writers have, the actual impact of getting knocked on the head hard enough to black out.
What niche things have you researched for fic (or original!) writing purposes? What's your favorite thing you've researched or your favorite tidbit you found out from that research?
