So lets talk about what's wrong with fanfiction
I had this idea and then was talking to VampGirl last night and got my thoughts in order (kind of)
When I write, I write what I know. My stories are mostly set in England, because I don't know an awful lot about the US. I don't write about pregnancies, as I've never been pregnant etc.etc.
However I've noticed sometimes people decide to change the setting (as this is where I've noticed it most) to say...England, but then they don't ask questions about living here or research to find out word changes and things like that - if they don't already know them.
For example over here it's 'Mam/Mum' not 'Mom' and I know most everyone knows this, but sometimes they don't.
But what really gets me is when people get the currency wrong :| It's the Great British Pound here...not Euros, if you don't know a currency either find a way to not include it or ask...
And talking to VampGirl she said the same, she's from Australia and (although not many people set fics there) she does notice it.
So where have you noticed it?
Lets have a learning experience, when you've noticed something wrong (no naming names!) correct it here and maybe when people write about things they don't know, they'll get it right :D
I hope this doesn't sound all complainy...it's not supposed to be XD
OH!
And don't Kristen and Rob look cute @ the after party?
