There's a decent southern one by lesgirl where Bella is a travelling nurse, Edward plays the guitar, and the gang does a white trash Halloween where they all try to outdo each other in awfulness. It was pulled from FFN, maybe on her blog still.  I may have the authors name slightly off, I can't check since I'm not home, but I believe she has another story entitled the Breakers that was very popular (ex con Edward) you can find her under.

The Breakers is by les16

Oooh yeah Cotton Creek by rtgirl is a great one. I LOVED IT!

Summary: Bella is a travel nurse who moves every six months. Edward is a music teacher in a small southern town who gave up his Nashville dreams to return home. She never knew what a home was…until he gave her one. Fun/Fluff/Romance/No angst. Some citrus.

 I don't remember it particularly, just the name because it took place in Charleston, so it may be boring.

What would qualify a story as southern?  I was wondering if you would qualify Sideline Collision by Nolebucgrl as such since it takes place mostly in Florida.

The story I posted some days ago, Polaroid:

plays in South and North Carolina... Is that southern? It definitely shows the change of pace...

otherwise, since I have not much present knowledge of American Geography, I don't care much where a story plays...

South Carolina is definitely Southern.  I'm never sure about North Carolina.  I know people who live there and I would call it Southern.  But they may not. 

I think of Southern as being able to say F*ck you in such a way that the person to whom they are saying it, says "thank you!"  And then wonders, wait, what??  Plus they have the best sweet tea.  It's just not the same anywhere else.  And we won't even talk about biscuits and gravy..... 
 

  I love that description!

It's so funny because I grew up in Miami, which I used to say was so far South that it's no longer Southern. The truth is that Southeastern Florida and many of the coastal towns aren't really what I'd consider the South, but a lot of Florida is full of Southern accents and a conservative mind set. My father and grandparents were from Virginia, which I definitely consider the South as it's south of the Mason–Dixon line. (While the Mason-Dixie was originally a land survey line, it morphed into a cultural distinction between the North and the South during the US Civil War that still has roots firmly planted today, with strong feelings in supporting state rights versus the federal government.)

While there is a more technical description on Wikipedia (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login), when I think of the South I think of a laid back pace of life full of passion about certain issues like music, food, guns and Bibles. Oh, and appearances too. Can't forget Southern hospitality! Just like every culture, there is a mix of liberals and conservatives in the South, but regardless of where one stands, many Southerners are passionate about their viewpoint. Thinking about the South makes me think of my grandma and her drawl when she'd say, "Hi Sugar! How's my beautiful brown eyes?" So I guess my feelings are nostalgic and sweet--like their tea--with a touch of fire--like their crawfish boil.

I hope I didn't write anything that came off pejorative as I really do like most aspects of Southern culture and I purposely avoided those typifying the negative aspects, but which exist. But for a fic to be Southern, I guess I'm looking for at least one of the above passions to show through--like descriptions of the love of their food or music. I'm hoping for a culture of family, whether it's good or bad.

I looked up the recipes of 5 different meatloaves and then went and did my own thing.  I used 1/2 pork sausage meat & 1/2 lean beef mince.  I finely chopped onions, carrots, pepper.  I had no breadcrumbs, so I cubed 3 slices of bread finely and added to the meat & veg mixture. I beat  egg, a little milk, a little tomato sauce & tom purée with salt & pepper and added garlic & chilli powder to taste. I beat this together and then added to meat mixture. I made sure everything was well mixed together and formed a loaf shape.  I baked that for about 1-1.15 on medium to high heat.  I made a glaze of tomato  sauce, English mustard and a little brown sugar and basted the loaf then covered it in tin foil.   I basted it often while cooking, taking the foil off for the last 5-10 minutes to brown.  it was very tasty. 
In terms of spices etc, use what you like or have.  (I did). 
I served it with a bake potato and green salad. (it's pretty rich).

South Carolina is definitely Southern.  I'm never sure about North Carolina.  I know people who live there and I would call it Southern.  But they may not.

I'm born and raised in California and I'm crazy about college football.

You forgot real southern cornbread!  Real cornbread is not sweet, it is made with bacon grease!!  And then there is fresh peas and beans, oh, and fried green tomatoes and okra!  I could go on and on...
