Why wasn't I subscribed to this...? Anyway. YES YES YES YES YES TO THE RESEARCH PART. If you decide to bring in a real-world element, you better research the out of it. Case in point: a story that Karlo once pointed out to me had a character falling into a pool or some body of water...and they caught H1N1 because of it.<br />
<br />
Um, what the .<br />
<br />
You do not catch H1N1 by falling into a pool. And the author's reasoning? "It furthers the plot." Pneumonia would have done the same ing thing, AND it would have been a whole lot more dramatic. *SIGH* Okay, mini-rant done LOL
