I know my flist contains at least one. I have a creative writing-related question that Google is not answering satisfactorily. An OC of mine hails from a small English town, which should be working class, reasonably near a coast (like, within an hour's driving distance), and not of a particularly high average education level.

I will quote/link this post in a post of my own, but if that doesn't pan out, you might also try little_details.

Hi, we don't know each other at all but I just saw this entry while browsing the 'spinal fics' group friends page, and I'm a coastal brit so I thought I'd leave a message! Without giving away my exact location (I prefer to stay a bit anonymous on public posts), I'm on the south coast in one of a big line of naval towns and cities, which tend to be working class - mine is, anyway. If you like, I can send you a private message with more details and quirks of the people and places?

Cool! I'll send a message in just a moment!

And feel free to friend me, I'll add you too! I've been posting a few stories over on spinalfics lately, and the place seems very, very quiet - so I checked the 'friends' page of the community just to see whether any members are active on lj lately, and this was the top entry on there at the time!
