It happens both ways, but I agree, British writers never get as much flack for it as American writers. Of course, they love to characterize Americans as geographically-ignorant baffoons so it's very chic to laugh at their American-centric writing. But the British make the exact same mistakes.

It's almost like people everywhere tend to default into their own culture and not always realize some things are different in other places. Shocking.

I don't. I ask for an American beta reader if writing American scenes.

Uh, good for you? Is this an argument against what I've said? Because you realize that's a very common thing for American writers to do as well, right?

It's a reply to "British people don't". Some of us do. Simply that.

What? lol Sentences like "Americans and the British frequently make cultural mistakes when writing fanfics" does not mean every citizen makes those mistakes. Believe it or not, I'm not under the impression that there isn't a single British or American writer who could possibly write a foreign dialect correctly

You do realize that what you're putting into quotation marks hasn't actually been said by the ayrt, right?

(Anonymous) 2017-02-19 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
And some American writers do likewise, so maybe AYRT was making generalizations rather than saying that those things are true of literally every British or American fan writer.
