I have a challenge for the US* ficsters

*and British, and French, and Australian, and whoever else wants to have a go

I’m currently reading through Beautiful Dangerous as I prepare to write another chapter, and musing, as I often do, over the research and prereading that is required by a Kiwi writing stories set in the United States. I have no issue with this, of course, it goes with the territory, and there are a lot of us, Kiwis, Brits, French, Scandinavian, that do it. But, I suddenly thought that it would be beyond cool to ask those to whom it comes naturally to set a story in a country and culture they have no first hand experience of.

So. Here’s my challenge. I want you, yes, you reading this, to write me a fanfic set in New Zealand. That’s my only stipulation. Any length, any pairing (I’ll read het for this), any genre, but it has to be set in Aotearoa.

I’m quite willing to Kiwi-pick or be available for random questions, there’s a couple other Kiwi’s around, too, I’m sure they won’t mind if you ask them.

I am so hoping someone is willing to take me up on this challenge. Please! Down on my knees begging even :D

Please comment if you’re keen.
