morgynleriOk, so there were actual notes taken, too, but mostly link-hopping through Wookieepedia. There are fun things in there, but damn is it distracting. Especially since now I'm trying to work out if I want to play with some of the bits and pieces from that, or leave them be (well, ok, stuff that relates to those in the movies I might use, but for those who aren't in the movies at all? I dunno).
Of course, knowing what's there that's extra canon I can use for the AU I'm building, or ignore entirely, is a good thing. Just a bit overwhelming. Some of the extra characters are interesting, and I want to use them (especially the women; I've been more likely to just hit the back button on male, especially human male, characters), others, not so much. (And I'm still shuffling some of them around, because I know what my muses want for the central core of characters for this AU, at least up through TPM.)
I have worked out some of how I'm going off into AU with parts of TPM. Now I just need to keep from wandering back over to Wookieepedia to do more research/world-building/note-taking stuff for a while. And work on the story. Or maybe work on the backstory bits for others of the main set of characters I'm building. Particularly since having the backstories for two of them might come in handy while working on the how of the AU TPM.
