Written Dialects and Accents
My thoughts about written accents and dialects are, as I write this, going to be jumbled. To me, there is a difference between dialects and accents when it comes to written dialogue. That difference is big at best, not noticeable at worst, sometimes interchangeable to some, but there. Accents are used to distinguish where a person is from, someone can tell a difference between an American English accent, a British English accent, a French accent, or a German accent. Articles and advice forums discourage most people from trying to write out an accent - particularly if that accent is seen as derogatory. Dialects, on the other hand, are different from accents but still part of the character's dialogue. From the articles, and advice, that I've read - people are told to be consistent, and I agree with that - however people are discouraged from using slang, likely for the "foreign language" readers' sake. As slang is a part of someone's dialect, you should not discount using slang - but
What I Want to Do....
I want to start writing fan-novelisations of the various games and anime/manga I enjoy... These novelisations will have my own spin on things, no doubt. But I will be listing them here, nonetheless. Be aware that any fanfiction you read is, for all intents, an alternate reality. (No, I don't mean an alternate universe - eventually, I'll get to writing a short essay/article on that....) The Final Fantasy games, especially from FF1 to FF9. The most important thing to know for my FF7 novelisation is that I will be changing the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII to have a more cohesive timeline (which means ignoring parts of the Before Crisis games). I plan to use the original game of FF7 for that novelisation, some aspects from the Remake might be worked in - but, who knows. The Pokémon games, mix in aspects from the anime and the Adventures manga.... This novelisation is what I call "Pokémon Prism". I've created a calendar for my novelisation, that includes a better "zodiac" system
An Alternate Reality of FF7... and AR vs AU
I am considering putting my notes, for a novelised story about the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, here on DeviantArt to keep it in one area. Earlier I mentioned that I was planning a novelisation for FF7, I should mention that it focuses on an alternate reality. My question is, should I do so? Please give me your opinion on something like this...
From what I have encountered, all fanstories - whether the quality is good or bad - are alternate realities (AR) of the official work. Some of then are alternate universes (AU). The difference, for me, is whether a fanstory follows the universal rules that the original author(s) set up. I'll try
Punny and Silly Names
Weather the names are completely fictional or not does not matter for this entry. I am looking at punny names — which are when one's forename and surname (and sometimes middle name(s)) combined — and just silly full names. Nicknames are in quotations while their gender (if known) is indicated by either Mr. or Ms. (or, if known to be married, Mrs.) and if there is more than one person I will not tell. I you wish to add more, or say wish ones are names of real people, then leave a comment.

if you're still doing name requests can you please help me?
i need some (first name only) name suggestions for a character of mine.
the character is a black stuffed toy rabbit that comes to life to fight off anything that dares to harm it's owner.
the rabbit is male, late teens, and likes to wear outfits with hats
he does not have any known family members because he is a toy.
he is a bit stubborn, cocky, badass and often doesn't say much unless compelled to and has a real fighting spirit and wants to push himself to the limit to win any challenge.
if i had to connect him to a character maybe hiei from yu yu hakusho or king kazma from summer wars
he mostly likes to fight in hand to hand combat but may resort to guns if needed
i may come up with a name for him like "black-jack" but most likely not.
-thank you
