IN WHICH I IMPART GOOD-ISH NEWS
Well, that's what the sub-headline says, anyway. I think it's good news; you may or may not agree. Despite not being on a library computer (thus having to input lots of stuff manually), I finished editing a capital offense, at least for now. One last read-through in a day or so and it's ready to go public. Yay. In the meantime, I have a request…
Yes, this is a very important question. Without an affirmative answer, I will not be able to write Octavia's Burritoverse story. At least not without doing a lot of research that I'm likely to screw up. So without further ado: To my UK-based readers:
Do You Know How To Speak and/or Write "Chav"?
Octavia is set to meet a character at the Burrito Barn who speaks in a thick lower-class English accent. I care very deeply about accent authenticity in my own voices, so I want to get this character's dialogue correct (reading Catfood McFly's comics only got me so far). If you can help me, please let me know below.
Another question I pose to you, the readers:
Would any of you be interested in looking at my Anon-A-Miss adaptation to help me determine if it's kosher to publish here?
I'd love to post it if I can. That way I can more seamlessly transition into the Apple Bloom story I've had on the back burner for awhile. If you're interested, please let me know.
I'm tempted to ask for help on one more story, but I need to rewrite its first chapter (it's been two years since I wrote it). Once I've done that, then I'll ask for help looking over the rest. This is my 30k adventure I've been working on for awhile now.
Hopefully soon, maybe as soon as tomorrow since I'm likely to visit a park as the weather will be nice, I'll be able to start writing that Sunset Shimmer motivational story and then finally move on with finishing the Recovery Arc… once CoffeeMinion isn't so busy, as he has the last two stories. But I'm not gonna hassle him. Dude's got a family and it's Christmas season, and my life will be going insane soon. Well, take care, y'all.
Peace out!
