An International Guide

by QuinnAnderson

An American friend of mine recently asked me for some Brit-picking tips on differences in smoking language/culture between America and England to be used in her Sherlock fic. I thought I'd go ahead and write a guide, including my experiences in other countries and some writing tips for how to portray characters who smoke. Much of this comes from personal experience, and it's not intended to be encouragement to smoke. Rated Teen and Up for swearing and talk of underage smoking.

The (in)Complete Guide to Britpicking and Finer Football Details

by BelmotteTower, ScoatneyHall

This is not fic! This is a non-fiction resource. I hope this resource will be something that is useful to anyone in this fandom who either wants to write fic from the POV of any one of Ted Lasso’s British characters and is not British themselves, or wants to read and write fic and, like Ted, knows nothing about the ins and outs of football and the Premier League.I've helped a number of viewer friends and writer friends with some of these things already, and I’ve also done extensive research for my own fics and had really positive responses to my author notes, so I thought it might be helpful to compile and share some details regarding Britpicking, British culture and football itself for anyone who wants to make use of this resource, either as a viewer, reader or writer!16.11.2022: Latest update - England International Duty and the 2022 World Cup. Part one of a long update about players' potential roles in the World Cup and playing for a national team in general. Very Jamie-centric, so mainly about his future England career, but a few other details for others included, as well as some basics on the current controversy and how to potentially write around it.

Translation of the Elven

by mowrites

Please note that this is just my first draft. I am currently co-authoring a full dictionary and I hope to have it out in the next couple of days, and it will heavily re-address a lot of these translations, as well as the translations we've seen before in Origins. Thank you so much for all of your patience. In the meantime, if you see phrases I am missing, please let me know about them, and I will add them to the list of things I will be including in the Full Dictionary. I appreciate it!

Fanfiction Commenting Guide

by the_bi_ballerina

This guide offers advice for fanfiction readers who would like to comment more often, leave longer comments, and write more meaningful comments. Although readers don't owe anyone comments, if you enjoyed a particular fanfiction, leaving a comment is one of the only ways to show your appreciation for the hard work the author put into the story. Comments support the fanfiction community and make it more likely authors will post additional works. While most authors seem to appreciate any form of positive feedback in the comments, it is nice to be able to leave more detailed and unique comments, and that is what this guide aims to help you with.

The Incomplete Guide to Canadian-isms and Hockey

by whereweallgo

This is not a fic. This is a non-fiction resource for Heated Rivalry fanfiction writer and readers alike. In particular, for our friends who aren’t otherwise familiar with Canada or hockey in general. If you're interested in meta-analysis, finer details of Canadian culture, and old-school fic “primers” then join me.

Peter Parker's Sophomore Schedule

by atnuka

I did my best to approximate Peter's schedule during Spider-man: Homecoming based on the few times/class orders in the movie. The course codes and the class schedule are loosely based on those of the Bronx School of Science and on my own high school block schedule. This is primarily for my own use, since I was kind of going crazy while writing fics. Feel free to use/take inspiration from/ignore this schedule. If you do, please leave a comment or something so I can read your fic!Also available on my IronDad Tumblr account: atnuka-ironspiderson . tumblr . com /post/627131144769568768/

The Summoner's Guide to Briedablik

by HB_DS2013

The divine weapon Briedablik's origins are a riddle for the ages, as whoever created it no longer exists. Alternately, Briedablik could have been made as part of a joke or drunken shenanigans. Prior to my summoning, it did not have the mechanics and functions it did now. It is common knowledge that Briedablik is an emergency weapon- intended to be wielded by anyone. It's also intended to only summon Heroes... and nothing else. If only that were the case had I not unlocked its offensive functions...

Heated Rivalry (TV)+1

a quick and dirty guide to Shane Hollander's canada

by Anonymous

Many incrredible and talented authors have started writing stories set in canada because of Heated Rivalry, some of whom have never been to canada. and sometimes you guys make me need to lie down because Canada Does Not Work Like That. So.this is a quick, dirty, utterly nonjudgemental informal guide from someone who lives there.I'm not interested in "um, actually" ing anybody, and theres no knowing what you dont know. I don't even know a lot! but I know enough that hopefully this will be helpful for somebody. I'm also the least patriotic person ive ever met, which makes me highly qualified for this. I have quick tips About Canada, I have suggestions for Canadian Things, I have a list of Scary Birds. What I (a canadian) think you need to know as an author before writing canadian characters or setting.Entirely based on my reading thus far.
