I'm curious as to whether or not stories by British authors (e.g, me) get marked down simply because we're not American - because we don't use American spellings and terms.
Fair goes if they're marked down because the stories aren't up to scratch but not if people mark them down out of some kind of prejudice.
I say that because when I first started posting stories here I was 'warned' by a NY lady who writes extensively in Literotica to beware of the general US condemnation of non-US writings - I wonder how true her words are?
So what would happen if I set my stories in America with US spellings and vocabulary?
