eh, put the britishcisms in the fics. life is short. thai people write fanfic about american shows and make it super thai centered, also, bc that's what people who write fanfic FOR FREE do. they use their own life as inspo. like obviously it's good to put effort into learning about another culture, but at the end of the day fanfic is for fun, so it's not the end of the world if something is wrong. surely you've read fic where people get britain wrong? people get america wrong all the time too. peace and love etc

What u don't understand is that I don't want anyone to know I'm 🤢 Br*tish 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮

#I was not aware of the thaification of american fandoms I'll watch out for that :')#me when succession fics mention Khun Logan: 👁️👄👁️#I'm messin abaut luvs! havin a giggle havin a laff me ol chum me ol chap! cor blimey!#also I do appreciate that fanfiction is for fun and for free but also... people are allowed to just... not like things that are free.......#that's not a reflection of the quality if the art or the artist or a moral failing of the reader #some people like the familiarity of using american high school terms and drinking ages and dollar currency #personally I find it immersion breaking #and since my writing is shaped by what I enjoy #I don't want to accidentally add references to pounds sterling or secondary school or use uniquely british language #but obviously the language thing is harder because all my schooling was british most of my friends and family are british #so what sounds like a very natural speech pattern to me may be jarring for other people and I don't want that for my fics!#thats litchrally oll i wos sayin luvs! don't get yer knickers in a twist! i wosnt sayin it was rubbish or takin the mick #is just not my cuppa tea #fbshfhsh sorry I'll stop #ask #anon
