Old habits die hard. In the TV fandoms I've written in in the past I've always done episode transcribing and analysis and all sorts of other research before I laid pen to paper or fingers to keyboards.

Right now I am comfortable enough with the movieverse and comfortable enough with chunks of 616 to extract bits from it, but I've also read far too much fanfic to be confident that I'll always know where canon begins and fanon ends.

I daresay that once I've got what I want to say about the movies out of my system I'll venture into 616...
