Re: Small things in fic that drive you insane

I'd have to say references to specific things that don't exist in that region. In the US, grocery stores are very regional and it throw me out of a fic when they will say they went to a Publix/Kroger when the story takes place in Pennsylvania. Or liquor laws are also very different state by state. I can only buy alcoholic beverages at a liquor store, no where else. But where I used to live, I could get beer or wine at any gas station/pharmacy/grocery store.

It's the little details.

This. Would it kill people to do a little research?

That's why I'm ALWAYS vague about those sorts of details unless I have a specific reason. You can just say 'I'm going to the store' instead of name-dropping something and no one will care.
