There is a library angel who looks after people who write and read books. The most spectacular case for me was when the LA suggested the town Manhattan, Kansas as the setting for a book. The first reference I found on the town in the Guide to Periodical Literature was an article describing a trip through Manhattan taken on a train from St Louis in 1861, lavishly illustrated with photographs taken at the time. Exactly what I needed.
I also know there is a web angel. I wrote this little character wondering what reference his daydream had to 11th January, 1995. Why would someone a train be thinking of that particular movie? Checking the TV listings weeks later I found out that An American Werewolf was screened on Cable TV that night. It was so unlikely, I convinced myself I made it up, and forgot it. Checking again, the end of 1996, there it was. So Donald has seen the TV listings and that's inspired him. But I didn't know that when I wrote it.
Can't you hear the wings fluttering?
