Google it, and do the research, and know for a fact that British people don't celebrate Thanksgiving, and then write the fic where they celebrate Thanksgiving anyway

in my personal opinion

[(Anonymous)]

But ... there are American wizards... why not write them..?

English people are never going to celebrate it. In any world. Ever. Only Americans celebrate American thanksgiving.

We're just gonna eat turkey at christmas lol

[(Anonymous)]

Have them celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving if you want. Doesn't matter a damn to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Why the fuck would British people celebrate Canadian thanksgiving

[(Anonymous)]

Because they felt like it

[(Anonymous)]

We don't celebrate the thanksgiving holidays of other countries.

[(Anonymous)]

You could if you wanted to

[(Anonymous)]

Speak for yourself, tbh. We absolutely love the novelty of American Thanksgiving and celebrate it because it's funny and/or delicious. Nothing wrong with celebrating stuff that doesn't "belong" to you.

Unless you're going to call out all Americans that celebrate Cinco de Mayo? All Japanese that celebrate Christmas? Hell, I have friends in Mexico that celebrate the American 4th of July because it's another excuse to set off fireworks. It's really no big deal.

Of American Thanksgiving.

I mean. Really.

[greghousesgf]

I wanna see a Canadian wizard world now

[(Anonymous)]

At one point I wanted to write a Harry Potter fic with Canadian exchange students.
"Tell Professor Sprout to get the extra rooms ready. For some reason the Canadians are always sorted into Hufflepuff. Except for that Harper kid no one likes to talk about."

And one of them has a Canada goose patronus that is the scariest thing anyone has ever seen.

[greghousesgf]

and there needs to be some sort of Rush reference

[(Anonymous)]

There is more contact (and fighting) in Canadian Quidditch.

[(Anonymous)]

Love it, you should write it!

[(Anonymous)]

"Except for that Harper kid no one likes to talk about."

Pfft. Nailed it.

[(Anonymous)]

Heh, thanksgiving is easy. Try christmas or valentines day in fantasy settings. Or even funnier, like, ok, author does research and it's generic midwinter selebration instead, but with all the usual abundance of santa mentions, fur tree, mistletoe, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Are people allowed to write that? Yes they are. Am I going to believe the author is a complete idiot? Absolutely.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, you can do that. Just remember to tag "The Author is a Huge Moron Who Only Cares About Mainstream American Culture", so people know what they're getting into.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

Yup.

[(Anonymous)]

You take this shit too serious

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry that the constant barrage of American cultural imperialism gets tiring. Maybe you could go ask for sympathy from one of the countries you haven't invaded lately. New Zealand, maybe?

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, this objection is coming from the British? Just want to confirm that real quickly

[(Anonymous)]

Nope :) :) :) :) :)

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, I guess I was just a little confused because the thread was about whether it was OK to write a fanfic where the British characters in Harry Potter, a British series, celebrate an American holiday

[(Anonymous)]

Oh f off with the snide "OOH only Britain was ever oppressive" shit and take a good hard look at your country over the past 70 odd years
