[url=http://test.eucantina.net/interview-with-karen-traviss]She admits to not liking to do research herself[/url]
And when asked at a Halo Comic-Con panel if she had any experience with Halo she said no, and added she didn't get any before writing.
I totally understand and respect that, but it just doesn't work for Halo. All aspects of the fiction are so interconnected you really need to get your hands dirty with the existing material.
Not just that, but her lack of research shows. In Mortal Dictata she described Plasma Torpedoes as if they were physical missiles.

Then we have a contradiction, as Frankie was saying in a Sparkast ages back that there had been thousands of letters back and forth on the lore and facts she would need to know. I knew already she didn't have any prior experience, that's her MO, but not doing any research before writing is simply impossible. She does, for example, know what an Elite is, and what a Spartan is and other canon elements.

Yeah, no I remember hearing that too about the letters. I dunno, in the end, I don't like her writings and thought process. The characters she created are hypocrites. (Well, mostly Vaz but you get the point)
