No Plagiarism!2yxVooTrNvzcfCcAUYBLposted on PENANA What're your thoughts on accents/slangs/verbal ticks in writing?8964 copyright protection156PENANA4nkTEGLCxh 維尼
Speaking as someone who enjoyed Brian Jacques immensely in his youth, the accents really brought out the characters for me. The British hares, the Northern (Scottish) squirrels, the moles and their Liverpool accent, it was just so much fun to read, and it worked wonders for distinguishing the characters.8964 copyright protection156PENANA4rC29Q9hAD 維尼
For myself, I’m always worried about using accents because I think “am I going overboard here? Are people gonna think I’m making fun of them?” or something. People are pretty sensitive these days, so I usually stick to verbal ticks (like Baxter Stuart and his “no word of it a lie” tick, which he always throws in).8964 copyright protection156PENANAdYQzRsTAhL 維尼
But then the idea came to me; why not just make my own slangs? Then nobody can cancel me.8964 copyright protection156PENANA1aetWzsC2b 維尼
Actually, it’s partially because of my lil’ sis that I came up with it. One of her planned books was going to take place on earth amidst a bunch of street gangs, so one long day working in retail, I started putting together some cool one-liners and phrases for them.8964 copyright protection156PENANAXbnFyJLVSP 維尼
We were having so much fun with it though, so I ended up turning it into a whole Jive-like lingo. Since it ended up being a little of both of our creations, we decided to both use it. For now, just Cecilia Strzelczyk of my Crimseam storyline and her gang speak Pavement, but you’ll probably see it here and there in more of my stories, and of course in hers.8964 copyright protection156PENANAbNudW8p5zh 維尼
