Re: American/British spelling

[(Anonymous)]

What are you going off about? You should use the spelling you know. If you're American, use American spelling, and British, use British. It would be stupid to use another country's English spelling.

Using slang/common vernacular in character dialogue, sure. But why the heck would you change your spelling?

Re: American/British spelling

[fingalsanteater]

Yeah. That's fucking stupid. If the British character is, say, writing a letter, then it'd be relevant to use British spelling. But otherwise , use the spelling rules for your country.

Re: American/British spelling

Wouldn't it be odd going back and forth that way? I'd notice that way more than if it were consistently one or the other.

Re: American/British spelling

[fingalsanteater]

Eh. If British characters use British spellings in sections where they write letters and American spelling in the rest of the fic because the author is American and vice versa, then I'd be fine with it. But that's really only reason why I'd see someone changing spellings. Writing a fic in all British spelling when you are American because the characters are British is stupid, and that's what OP seems to be calling for.

People like anon are why I once stressed out over whether a character in a Doctor Who fic of mine would use the phrase "inched over" or not.

Re: American/British spelling

[(Anonymous)]

Nah don't stress over it. This is the petty rant thread after all.

Re: American/British spelling

OP here.

Meh, despite the ragey-ness of my original comment, I'm not actually all that bothered.

Mostly it seems polite, especially with terminology.

Not AYRT

As a brit in the Supernatural fandom, I used to get ragged on for using 'colour' and other British spelling all the time. I guess to some people it really matters?

Re: American/British spelling

I read a fic where Bobby sad "sod" and "sodding" and "telly" (which are things an American wouldn't say). Dean and Sam took tea (also something an American wouldn't do). So, if you are just using British spellings, I think you're good. Ignore the haters.

Was Bobby possessed by Crowley? Because that sounds like him.

Also, this fic comes to mind:
