LOL, yeah. Mistakes like that make me laugh, but I can see how they'd get old fast. It's that irritating combination of being very US-centric and being too lazy to do even minimal research or get a Brit-picker.

This is my first time hearing the term Brit-picker, and I love it.

Is it not used anymore? I knew some Harry Potter fanfic writers back in the day, so it came up often.

Ah, if it is I wouldn't know unfortunately. I haven't been involved with a UK-oriented story in a while (since Life on Mars or Ashes to Ashes). It's a lovely term, I hope to at least use it myself from now on. :)

It still is! I had to find onecwhen writing a Doctor Who fic; much of it is set on Earth, in London, so details that I couldn't exactly know (aside from googling prices of milk at Tesco's) i woulkd need a Brit-picker...I don't think I found one though...lol

You say that like it's only US authors who do it. A lot of ficcers don't bother to do even minimal research or get a local to look things over when they're writing fic set in another country, because clearly things the world over are just like home.
