...Well I actually love the fic in this fandom, so.



I don't even get your insult; why does it matter who's writing the fic? (How would you even know?)

Has there been a surplus of shitty fic or AU's you aren't into lately? No fandom is going to be without those. (And again, that's a lot of assumptions.)

*shrugs*

[(Anonymous)]

(How would you even know?)

Differing speech patterns, incorrect use of slang, incorrect words (lift/elevator, pavement/sidewalk, etc), places, people, brand names that are all out of place in the setting, or alternatively over use of the only brands, and slang that the writers do know.

Not OP, but yeah... little things like that give it away when Americans write British fandoms (and when Brits write American fandoms too, I'm sure). That's the whole point of Britpicking/Ameripicking, surely? So the people who live where you're writing about aren't thrown out of the narrative of your story by the small, day to day mistakes.

[elaminator]

That makes sense regarding the American comment, but what about the college kid one? A person could make those mistakes no matter their age or level of education.

Plus, if the fic was Britpicked (skillfully) you wouldn't know it, so if the writer did their research or had help you wouldn't be able to tell. I guess OP was saying no one in Kingsman fandom used a Britpicker, and that might be true, but I find it unlikely. (I can believe most don't, though.)
