No, why should it? People write what they want to write. That's what fan fiction is basically about in the first place. They write what they are motivated to write. The only thing that I ever find jarring is British spelling... and I find that jarring even when it's fan fiction about a British show, simply because some of the words are spelled differently and it's like a bump in the road. It doesn't bother me, though. If I see British spelling in a story, I assume the writer was British (or European).
