The Elves are rubbish though. Dwarves sound like the Dubliners or the Pogues. Elves sound like Enya.

Alas, I'm a literary nerd and I've spent many a time hunched over a work of Olde English lore written by some insane dark magician from back in the day. I can have a field day on that kind of writing. However, you are right. Unless, we are happy selling one or two books to other nerds of ancient texts, we should probably write for the masses...lolLacey Reahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177266926523175238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183999571904146107.post-53900537757503249972012-07-13T12:33:18.454-07:002012-07-13T12:33:18.454-07:00Verily, I say, stoppest thou thy false parodies, e...Verily, I say, stoppest thou thy false parodies, else thy tongue trippest thee!<br /><br />...er...<br /><br />Write dialogue you can read out loud without gagging.<br /><br />Learned it the hard way. *doh!*Connie J Jaspersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455899967916707544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183999571904146107.post-64642594220622606792012-07-13T10:38:51.032-07:002012-07-13T10:38:51.032-07:00That's pretty funny ... but I still think the ...That's pretty funny ... but I still think the weirdest place to see it ever is in Ernest Hemingway novels ... there's something really wrong about Spanish civil war communists calling each other 'thee' and 'thou' in some vain attempt to render the tu vs vosotros/usted distinction. <br /><br />But you're right though, nothing camper than a fantasy novel character attempting some awful attempt at what they think is Shakespearean dialogue ; - )nikw211https://www.blogger.com/profile/01191476037291186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183999571904146107.post-62617312402463260462012-07-13T08:04:31.708-07:002012-07-13T08:04:31.708-07:00This is fantastic! said the American who also crin...This is fantastic! said the American who also cringed at Dick Van Dyke's Cockernee.
