oxoniensis@gmail.com About"The Americans are identical to the British in all respects except, of course, language."
Oscar Wilde
Are you a non-American writer in an American fandom? Then here's the place to ask about culture, language, customs etc. And if you're an American and like your reading to feel authentic, then please friend the community and help us out!
If you'd like to offer specific beta/Americanisation assistance, or list the US regions you can give advice on, just leave a comment on this post. And if you're looking for an American to check your story, there's a list here.
