I had actually attempted to set it in the US (I did research and everything!) although I'm aware I probably naturally put in English references, phrases etc? I'm happy to go with whatever really; if setting it in England would put off readers or writers I'd rather set it in US instead (and be constantly corrected on things :|P). A couple of things on the character sheets might need adjusting if we do move it this side of the channel though! Also if we do, yeah it might be good to clarify. --[[User:Jackmaster|Jackmaster]] ([[User talk:Jackmaster|talk]]) 17:16, 24 January 2017 (CET) | I had actually attempted to set it in the US (I did research and everything!) although I'm aware I probably naturally put in English references, phrases etc?

Personally, I'd find it refreshing to have a non-US setting. I don't feel comfortable taking the lead on one myself, but I wouldn't be opposed to writing for one. The thing that was so British about what you wrote was simply the use of mum for mother. In the US it's mom, mommy, mother, or rarely ma. You should write what you know. If you're English, by all means set your story in England. (Also, I went ahead and put a location/time reference on the Chad story.) --[[User:Elerneron|Elerneron]] ([[User talk:Elerneron|talk]]) 17:26, 24 January 2017 (CET) | |||

I assume this story is set in Great Brittan? If so, since the other path is set in the US, maybe we need to make a reference to the location in both stories for less perceptive readers? What do you think? --Elerneron (talk) 16:56, 24 January 2017 (CET)
