Got a fairly niche comic fandom that my (really excellent) metro library had nothing on, but I happen to work at a university with one of the largest comics libraries in the country. In order to read the comics, I had to apply for membership to the library, wherein I had to explain why I needed access. I think I wrote something like "writing an article for a comics tribute". I know I did not write "I need to write some fanfiction." Anyway, I went every day on my lunch break for two weeks. Had to sit in their reading room, request them to bring the specific volumes, no pens allowed, only pencils for notetaking. It was totally worth it. I did fic *and* art that year and my recip was over the moon. Very few comments, but that's what you get for niche fandoms. :)

That's really cool! Did you already know the comics beforehand?

Yeah, I was a fan back in high school, but I didn't have any copies of them anymore (I never had; I got them from a girl I was dating). Anyway, it was great to get to revisit them, they'd been a huge inspiration to me.
