2003 May 16, Tennant Stuart, “Re: Any early bootleg copies of book 5?”, in alt.fan.harry-potter[1] (Usenet):By later chapters she'd acquired better Britpickers - "vacation" is an instant give-away that the piece was written by an American.
2003 June 15, Tennant Stuart, “Re: A new match for Harry...Fanfic links for this ship”, in alt.fan.harry-potter[2] (Usenet):Some of the better fanfic writers rely on 'Britpickers' to help them.
