ext_120533: Deseine's terracotta bust of Max Robespierre (face-palm)
I wish adolescents would "write for the drawer" in old notebooks, as we did when I was that age, rather than embarrass themselves publicly online. I'm reminded of some dreadful stuff I saw in a historical-fiction fandom a few years ago: some teenager depicted 18C domestic life with running hot water, shampoo, and nail varnish and lipstick of the modern type in modern containers. In my head, I nicknamed it "Valley Girls in Paniers". I've also seen people comment, when picked up on historical/geographical/cultural gaffes, that they "can't be bothered" to do the research, "they're writing fanfic, not an essay for school": but to me, why bother writing for a fandom if you can't make the effort to find out a bit about the time/place/culture you're using?
