As a fan fiction writer, I sometimes have to do research on some topics for my stories. I have occasionally spent hours trying to track down certain details, and sometimes the information still could not be found, even when I explored all over the Internet and looked into my collection of books. To simplify things for authors doing research, I bookmarked some of the best resources I have found on the Internet, and they are listed here. I will be adding more links as I discover them, or as people send them to me.
