Curate, connect, and discover
the amount of research that goes into fanfic.... i'm drowning over here. so for context I'm a baby marvel fan (*cough* spidey obsessed transgender *cough*) who recently regressed back into their supercorp phase and am writing for them. so now i'm a fetus dc fan. and i was not expecting gathering background knowledge to be This Hard. even trying to figure out where my characters are on a map. i thought metropolis was new york and gotham was chicago. and then my friend informs me that they thought gotham was new york. and then I found out neither were new york, but in fact somewhere in jersey (or i think metropolis is deleware?) so. national city as I remember it (as someone whose experience was limited to supergirl s1 and s2) was los angeles. but some people were saying san diego. and my favorite author recently put it in dc (the city). which i loved btw. i have decided that national city is los angeles for my peace of mind (you can't introduce cat grant over stock video of the 405 and tell me kara lives somewhere else) (shut up orange county; no one asked).
now i just have to figure out the complexities of the bat family....
