An anniversary worth noting
Happy Birthday to little-details, a group where you can go with almost *any* question about something you're trying to write about, and find people who actually know the answers.
Through it I've received information on subjects as diverse as the price (and name) of a caramel slice in the UK in 1994; attitudes of Muslim women playing D&D, the time to travel from Athens to Alexandria in 1812 and the rules for marriage contracts in the Middle Ages. I've also discovered people who live near me, some who live on the other side of the world, and at least one author due to his very helpful information to another aspiring writer. (Yes, benaaronovitch, I *am* looking at you).
So congrats at 12 years of helpful information, meaningful discussion and incredible answers. The next time I want to use enough petrol to blow up a building, I will be asking you.
