(no subject)

For a story that's ended up being 1400 words, I've looked up tonight:

- How the peace corps works, and what kinds of things people do
- Operational specialties for marine officers
- How people become marine officers
- UC Berkeley housing, courses of study, percentage of male v female students, and whether or not they run an ROTC program
- The date of the first moon landing
- Dates of every moon walk since then

Not to mention the dates of birth of five different actresses and more transcripts than I can shake a stick at. So much more sci-fi fic not requiring the finding of large volumes of random information.

What I have not done, sadly, is written any more of my gen ficathon story, which is annoying, because I'm not exactly stuck, but it's just not going well, even though I'm writing about three of my favourite characters. Feh.
