135, 163.

[valentinite.livejournal.com]

135. I think the OP just hasn't seen the depths of bad writing from Americans in British fandoms. (And heck, if you're an American, you *won't* see all of the Americanisms people might be putting in British fandoms.)

But I do seem to see a lot more *good* non-American writers failing to get Ameri-picked than I see *good* American writers not getting a Britpick. I think it's more jarring in a way to see Americanisms in a story that's otherwise got pitch-perfect voices -- once I'm starting to read past typos and other things, I'll read past inaccurate dialect.

(And it's worse when it's canon (or semi-canon). Big Finish Productions, just a tip: the "first floor" in a US house is not somewhere you'd run up stairs to so that the bad guys can't break in the windows and come right in. That would be the "second floor" over here.)

163. You're not the only one, though I haven't claimed to see it. I just found friends that were going so that my boyfriend could go with them and I wouldn't have to.

Big Finish Productions, just a tip

Oh, lord. They are the WORST when it comes to fucking up Americanisms. It's gotten so bad that I can barely listen to any audio set in the US. Between the unbelievably horrible accents and all the dialect failures it's torture. And I am a complete BF addict. I should bring this up at the next con those guys are at. There is no excuse for that kind of laziness.

If you see them, yeah, sure, mention it. I love their stuff, and I pay through the nose to import it, and I hate that good stories are marred by this. (Minuet in Hell, nothing could save. Heh.)

The accents I can understand -- they don't have an infinite supply of voice actors, but there's no excuse for not having an American do a once-over for vocabulary.

Re: 135, 163.

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

I absolutely will, and I agree with you completely. It would take nothing to have an American read over the completed script and it would raise the quality of those productions immensely. (You are also right about Minuet in Hell, but Renaissance of the Daleks would have been improved ridiculously with a US beta.)

I love finding other people who adore BF. Their download service makes me giddy with glee!
