Don't know if this is "fanfic related", but how many of you have been reading a fic and realized when it mentioned a real non-famous place, that you had been there?

That happened today as I was reading Lifeflight III, and it mentioned Rock Creek, a place I went to when I visited the DC area a year and a half ago.

fraid not, woody

As I've never been overseas, my experience is limited to Aussie locations, which aren't mentioned much in fan-fic...

occasionally I recognise something from either it being a famous location that I have seen via more mainstream media (not fanfic) or learnt about through history etc.

but as to recognising say 14 Evergreen Terrace (One home adress of the Simpson's, another being 72; just like Lois is either 105 or 501), because I've been there... not me my friend

Well, I can't say it's not a famous place, but I was delighted when I read FlakeyDom's Whiskey Galore because it put Lois and Clark in one of my favourite towns - St. Andrews, Fife, here in Scotland. A place where I spent many a childhood vacation. That childhood place which exists in memory with perfect, neverending sunny days and ice cream and which has left me with a treasure trove of fond memories.
