Xenophobia: Pride & Prejudice - Chapter Twenty-four
Sam the T-man:
@steelguy: Thanks :) Yep, I'm from Brighton; about 20 miles down from London, so my accent's like a softer version of cockney - and now I live in Yorkshire, where people still ask if I'm from London. Theirs is very distinctive too, but there's also a North-South divide - it's almost like another world up here! More laid back though, which I like :) LOL Nice effort at writing out your accent there ;)
@Demon: Hmm, okay. Well, a Brit writing about Americans when she's never been there/has only movies to go on is bound to slip up here and there, as I warned right at the start. But thanks for the info - sounds like it does need changing :-\ Also thanks for your input on the writing of accents - I tried the other suggestion of "sticking to what you know" and it does all look like they talk the same, so.. hmm. Seems to be working here, anyway. Thanks for your comments on my writing, too! That really means a lot to me 1pounce
@vicky: Thanks - and ouch indeed. Although apparently some women get cramps that bad - mum said that before she had me (I'm the oldest), it was like she was in labour every month. Big ouch.. and partly where the inspiration came from for these poor guys ^_^
@Zorom: Haha, thanks! ;D And glad you're enjoying it, good to be back in action :)
DemonOfSarila:
slip ups happen, part of life. That I have an unfair advantage in knowledge about the states, having lived here since i was born 20 years ago, and having lived in CA, TX, KY, and IN and visited other areas. So far, your story has basically been perfectly fine as far as things like that.
It seems to me like some characters have the accent and other don't.... or maybe i only notice it with some of them. *shurgs* Like I noticed Tank has it and Johny's dad doesn't. Which actually, in a way, makes sense to me.
I have a question though, if i remember right, u said something before about a 1 yr skip, and Johny will be 18 in a year. are these two facts related? oh well, either way, can't wait for updates 2hug
Sam the T-man:
Well, Johnny's Dad is alien, so I'd imagine him to have a completely different accent, with maybe a little American in there from what he'd picked up. But anyway... I don't know where the one year came from; there's a one month gap between this and the next part, and then a big three year gap between that and the last part - where Buck hits thirteen and faces his own problems. I'll most likely fill in a few holes as that story progresses, not entirely sure how it's gonna work yet. Most of my ideas are centered around part two ATM.
DemonOfSarila:
ok. my memory is like the most unreliable thing you will ever find, so I wouldn't really worry about it. Now I'm wondering about what type of stuff Buck will have deal with, if it's more than what's already happened. but still wanna see things about everyone else *can't wait for next chapter ;D*
AxelVal:
Updates? UPDATES?!
*dies of happy*
Sadie, I missed your story so badly! And i love the newest chapter. I burst out laughing at poor Xavier's *ahem* condition, haha! I never expected that.
