What Have I Gotten Myself Into? (Need some help, my dear F-List!)

I recently started writing the prologue for my [livejournal.com profile] paperlegends fic. I'm not even halfway done and it's already touching up to 5,000 words. I don't think I'll have any trouble making the 30,000 minimum word requirement (the question is whether or not I can freaking finish it on time). On the bright side, I can definitely say I'm already 1/6 done with my Merlin bigbang fic.

It's a modern!AU, with Prince of Wales!Arthur and PM's son!Merlin. Prologue takes place just after Hunith has become Prime Minister, when the boys are about 10-11 years old. So much fun to write! ^+^ That said, this is a lot of heavy British culture and politics and I'm an American. You can see the difficulties that lie ahead. :|

Any of you Brits (or anyone else very familiar with British politics and culture) out there willing to put up with me incessantly asking questions about the most inane things (i.e. tea, food, drinks, schools, ect.) for the sake of accuracy? Anyone feeling like getting barraged by an annoying and frizzled out me?

Please and thank you!

*waves* I'll help if I can too - culture more than politics, though I do have two friends that might be able to help out there (my housemate, a history/politics nerd and her boyfriend, a military/politics nerd) so I've got them as well :)
Shout if you need anything :D That story sounds epic, by the way.

Alas, being an American as well, I'm not the person to ask, but I still have to say: Prime Minister Hunith? Best. Idea. Ever. You are awesome! *dances*

Ha! This is kind of where I stand right now. Um, about 10K in, and oh, like, 1/10th of the way through my plot.

Crap.

We long BBers shall have to cheer each other on!!!!
