Oh man, this comment reminded me of when I was working on a fic set in 1914, on the eve of WWI. I was in the midst of doing research for it, and I made a blog post in which I wondered whether I might be going a little overboard -- I had gotten to the point of searching online for old street maps, so I could accurately describe the city in which the fic was set.

Anyway, someone reblogged that post, and commented that not only was I going overboard, but that I shouldn't be doing research at all! "Just write," they said, several times. Research would bog me down and keep me from finishing the fic, so it was better to just go and not worry about it. Now, you might say, "perhaps they meant you should wait to conduct research until you're in the editing process," and that would be fair (even though I'd disagree; up-front research reduces the amount of editing you have to do later). But that isn't what they meant. They believed that research in general was a waste of time.

It's almost a decade later, and I'm still boggled by that one. Fics are so much stronger when even just a modicum of research has been done!
