Canonical Injuries, Illnesses, and Emotional Upsets

compiled by Cami, Alicia Ann Fox, Helen Patrick, Laura Petix, Judith Proctor, Steve Rogerson, and S.E. Thompson.

Do you write h/c, and want the "hurt" to be canonical? Perhaps you want to have one of your characters sporting scars, and need to know who was hurt, and when, and where. Maybe you think Avon finally went crazy because he'd been bashed over the head just once too often, and need evidence to support your theory. Here it is.
