It turns out that picking an engagement ring for a fictional character is just like picking out one in real life. Once you find the right one, no matter how many other rings you look at, they will never be the right one because they are not the right one.

I did a lot of research on chemical weapons for a fic at one point and then worried that the FBI would come after me.

It was mixed together with my research on penguins, and I was prepared to show the FBI and CIA the whole story. Of course, then I was afraid I'd be charged with copyright violation.

Ha! I suppose that might be slightly better than being jailed under anti-terrorism laws? If you could find the money to pay the fines.
