Information and Resources for Writing About Wakanda by Ashling
Fandoms: Black Panther (2018)
12 Mar 2018
Tags
Summary
From a piece on the urban planning on Birnin Zana to a list of Xhosa names, this is a collection of the resources I found while doing research for my M'Baku/Reader fic The Intern. It's a mix of information about Wakanda and information about various different aspects of culture, language, geography, etc from different African countries.
This is not comprehensive at all, it's just me citing my sources and hoping that they are useful to other writers. I will update it regularly as I come across more sources while writing The Intern and other Black Panther fic.

Sources and Research Advice for the 00Q Method Ficcer by notbeloved07
Fandoms: Original Work
07 May 2013
Tags
Summary
I am discontinuing writing 00Q, because I'm not really feeling this fandom. However, I am a method ficcer, meaning I put a lot of effort into getting into my characters' heads when I'm writing them, and therefore do a lot of research for ficcing. I think some of what I learned might also be helpful for other writers in 00Q, so I decided to put them all in a post.
Some (but not all) topics covered here are: intercepting mobile calls, getting on secured wifi, lock picking, fighting, explosives, manipulating the the power grid, code injections, biometric security, and where to learn about computer security in general.

An International Guide to Writing Characters Who Smoke by QuinnAnderson
Fandoms: Original Work, Sherlock (TV)
13 Aug 2014
Tags
Summary
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.

Summary
Did you know that Enochian is written right to left when using its own character set, but left to right when using a Western character set? Did you know that it's not actually a harsh language at all, but really quite flowing and pretty? Did you know that each letter represents a syllable (most of the time), so the pronunciation of a word is vastly different than its apparent spelling? If not, come right in!

Summary
These differences between British and American terminology and culture below are all ones I have seen in Sherlock fic or that are likely to come up in Sherlock fic. It is not exhaustive and I know that I will think of or spot at least 10 more as soon as I post this, but it is a start. If you have read fic set in America written by a Brit you will know that these things jar and spoil the flow quite a lot, so here you go.
