I'd say it's become quite common, but it is recent, so if your fic is 
set, say in the MWPP era it might not have happened.


I wonder if it's a regional thing? I never get trick or treaters but I live
in a flat over a shop so I'm pretty inaccessible but I know my parents don't
get them either.

My parents live in Stevenage nr London which is a reasonable sized town,
what about other UK members - do you get trick or treaters and if so where
do you live?
