I think of editing like knitting a very, very long scarf. The interconnectedness, pulling bits from here and there, is the key, and it is why I love it. Sometimes a bit of fannish info pops up, like a convention name, a theory, a reference, or a word, and I swear I hear the physical sound of another piece of the puzzle locking into place. Everything builds on everything else, and it's all related; it's then just a matter of creating paths that people can navigate.
That twenty-five year stretch of pre-internet media fandom is seminal, and what's on Fanlore is still just the tip of the iceberg -- but at least it's a start!
The tiny monitor? Sometimes it's hard to read stuff, and to be able to stack more open windows would be great, but so far it's working for me. :-)
It was a neat question you asked; I like hearing how other folks edit and all the different styles and plans.
