The meta post on research and writing sounds fab, actually. Although I'm afraid my answer will be predictable, like, "I totally freak about research, just like I totally freak out about sentence structure and I totally freak out about POV." Heh. You're talking about, "If you are writing about Xander in Kinshasa, what is the level of research you commit to? a) I learn to spell Kinshasa, b) I read the CIA Worldfactbook on Kinshasa, c) I fly to Kinshasa for 6 months and take copious notes"?
