Following the „More discussion, please“ I`m still looking for a story, where a foreign bystander from somewhere in America or the Commonwealth – or even better a non-english-native speaker - tells a story about the lads in the most horrible english there is (just like me, trying to write here). It`s seems to be so much enjoyable to read all the stories, when you`re NOT an english native speaker, because we will never know these little differences. For the same reason I never tried very hard to find Pros fanfiction in german.
In my only other fandom (From Eroica with love) one of the heros is an Earl from England and the other one is from Germany. So most of the english or japanese speaking writers try to squeeze at least one sentence in german in every story and: 99% make no sense at all. Even if they use only one word, they manage to spell it wrong, use the wrong gender, ignore the capital letters…. The german readers suffers with a lot of tolerance!
