Help, I need a Britpicker

Dec 17, 2008 10:59

I'm planning this alternate universe, a bunch of related oneshots about little Crowley and Aziraphale meeting at school, which will follow them through the teenage years. There may eventually be slash. The thing is, I'm Singaporean, so all I know about the British education system is gleaned from stuff like Harry Potter and Enid Blyton's many ( Read more... )

request, england, englishness, britpicker

Alas, though British I fear I've been infected by too many Americanisms to help you; hp_britglish may be able to help you, though, for specific queries.

Thank you! (:

Hi hi, I'm happy to help you with any Britisms! Welsh_werecat@yahoo.co.uk.
It's been a few years now since I was in the school system, but my younger brother assures me it hasn't changed much XD

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this many. I'm really sorry, but I'll be going with colon_bracket, since she graduated more recently and can help with previous changes too. Sorry. :(

But to thank you for the kind offer, I can feature you as a minor character in one of the future episodes, perhaps a teacher? I'd need your last name and a description of eye/hair colour. And if she's not available I might still check with you, and if colon_bracket is actually a he I'm going to feel very embarrassed.

Again, sorry and a huge thank you!

Hi hi! No worries, someone younger would be waaay better for the school system part.

Awww, thank you! My last name is Oliver, I'm short (like, 4'5) with brown hair and brown eyes. Aww, I'm touched.

Hi! I'm English and have gone through the education system just recently, although I also know about how it's changed through the past. I'd be more than happy to help you out.

:)

I feel REALLY bad about rejecting the previous kind offers, but since you're the most recent graduate I'm picking you. :) I'm siva_simba@yahoo.com.sg, what's your e-mail? I'll only be able to upload fics after I return home on the 28th, though I'm writing a bit now. Thank you so much!
