Difference between researching fanfic and researching original novel I hope to publish

Fanfic:

• Start with Google


• Move on to friends who may be familiar with the area you need


• Go to places like little_details or fanfic_med


• Check the library/bookstore if it's not fannish, especially if you're going to need to know more on the topic for a long fic


• Tell yourself it's just fic and wing it, apologizing for possible research!fail in an author note if you must

Original Fic:

• Start with Google


• Move on to friends who may be familiar with the area you need


• Go to places like little_details or fanfic_med


• Check the library/bookstore if it's not fannish, especially if you're going to need to know more on the topic for a long fic


• Email various organizations in Ontario politely asking to connect with someone willing to review your draft and help you get it right and offering payment in cash or indy promotion.
