jule1122Still in a weird place personally not that it matters except I'm still really bad about commenting. Some days I can force myself to comment, but others not so much. For the most part I'm still reading or at least trying to so I apologize for neglecting you.
Now to the point of the post. As I mentioned before I've been hiding out in other fandoms lately, and now I've acquired a new fic peeve. This doesn't apply to anyone on my list so I feel safe bitching. So to some authors out there, Please do not write in accent. By this I mean do not spell words to phonetically represent an accent. If I know a character well enough I'll know if he has an Irish, Southern, or whatever accent. If I don't it doesn't matter. Spelling words incorrectly does not help me hear a character's voice, it drives me mad and keeps me from reading your stories. A sentence that contains "ya"(you), "yer"(your), and "ta"(to) should not be written. Please I beg you to stop. End of meaningless rant.
