From the "Fanfic in the News" thread:
| ellisk wrote: | | Rhapsody wrote: | | This made me wonder, yes the first one is correct for me, the other is not. Is it really true that there aren't many fan fic writers outside the Northern American continent? It makes me curious if there is any data on this, and even so, if they also know how many authors there are with not having English as their mother tongue... |
I agree that I did not buy that part of the article either. The vast majority of the LotR fanfic writers that I converse with online are in Europe. Maybe that is specific to Tolkien (and it might make sense since he was from Europe too), but that is my experience in this fandom. |
So ... where ya from?

Down on the South coast of England, within spitting distance of France near the villages of Buckland and Elvington (I kid you not... what cool addresses they would have been!)

USA, all over. California originally, New York currently, and Mississippi, Texas and North Dakota at various points in between.

Because it's all South, to me.
Just kidding - really, 'cause I'm ignorant (about this but little else  ), and there were only so many poll options. Forgive me! I went to a private school - We didn't learn geography ... we had "social studies."

Born and raised in San Diego, CA!
Where we have two, count 'em two seasons: wild fire and mud slide!
Where we get "paid in sunshine." (No, seriously, I've actually been told that. I tried to pay my taxes in sunshine once ... the IRS was not amused.)
Where houses are expensive but the women are cheap. Okay, so we're not cheap, but we are easy!

I'm south of you then, in a landlocked country 10 times the size of Austria and that is not Mexico.
