Eventually I'll decide "Probably" and keep going, but what a mood-killer

Where many fanfic writers might work like this:

La la la, I have the idea for teh hot pr0n!
*scribbles madly without a care in the world*

I'm more like:

Ooh! Idea for hot porn!
*scribbles madly*
Hey, wait. I wonder if they have circumcision in Amestris.
*thinks very hard*
I cannot proceed without a satisfactory answer!
*stops composing hot porn; begins composing letter*
Dear Arakawa-san, Could you please answer a few questions for me so I can write more accurate smut?...
*realizes this is stupid, pouts*

*Snerk* Heee... NICE.

I'm guessing no on the circumcision... they may do it... but it's probably like Australia. It's RARE. XD Only about 10% of the population is cut.

Damn need for research... it kills my mood every time. This chapter of WIP alone I had to research hand controls so I wasn't just going off of anecdotal evidence and "sympoms of a UTI in people with SCI". Whee. How fun.

(I'm so glad you research!)

I knew that out of all the people on my f'list, I could count on you to have an opinion on this. :-)

You're probably right. 'cause it wasn't the norm in our world 'til sometime after WWII, right? Now that I can research. *glee*
