There's also a problem with your idea to get someone who's familiar with one of the big cities: I don't get out much and neither do the friends I do have. Any other big cities besides Dallas/Fort Worth were visited or lived in during their childhood.



I wouldn't necessarily ask a friend to read the book for consistency issues anyway. This is where you need to find a crit partner and looking in online groups and asking for help from writers who may have lived in the chosen city in the past or presently is the route I would take.

But I write fantasy about made up worlds for a reason....No one can tell me I'm wrong about th culture. fictionfactor/bleh.gif fictionfactor/bleh.gif fictionfactor/bleh.gif
