Dear A Lot Of Writers:

Writing out accents and dialects. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it can give things a cultural flavor. (Case in point, Cross the Heartland, an excellent Kingdom Hearts/Disney AU fic.) A couple 'Eys and 'Eres here and there can be fine. But when your fic or RP starts looking like I've accidentally crawled into the Apostrophe Forest, I hit the back button posthaste.

Dear Jumanji:

It is in fact spelled "posthaste". With one e.

Dear A Certain RP:

Why would you have a bodyswap where the characters take on the speech patterns, vocabulary, etc. of whosever body they're in? That seems like it would defeat the purpose a little.

And on a related note, I'd like to plug [livejournal.com profile] hogwarts_hocus, in my opinion the best multifandom RP around. If you like to roleplay, I urge you to check it out.
