Well if we want to do something new... Hmmm

How about that overly dramatic, disturbing fic idea I suggested a while back?

Where we try to be as obscene as possible (within the rules, however that is possible). XD

Worst case, we can put the adult tags around it and call it art. XD

Or if worst case scenario, just do it away from PC. XD
I think that started when I asked where other people posted their "not safe for PC" work. I wasn't really intending to have people start writing obscene stuff just for the sake of it. XD

It depends on what kind of obscene we're talking about here. XD
If it's violence type obscene, I think the Sandbox BBS caters to that. :P

If it's Lemon-scented, I'm not interested. XD

Haha, no yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of violence... XD

Of course for the sake of it would be fun, but I assume we'd still want plot etc. ;)

Of course, of course. ;D

I can write gore, but I sometimes have trouble fitting it with a plot.

On another, non-related note, how do you guys pronounce Mizan? I'm curious because many people mispronounce my name IRL because I pronounce it Malay-style.

I can write gore. Rather well. And I can fit it with a plot if I actually feel like it, although for the most extreme gore the plot generally has to go. Just look at Haunting! *Is shot for repeatedly bringing that story up all the time.*

I pronounce it my-zaan. I could see it also being pronounced me-zen though.

:O I knew it!
FYI, the correct way to pronounce my name is Mi-zan. Though I'm not forcing anyone to change how they pronounce my name.

In English, I presume that the first 'A' is always pronounced with a slight 'eh' sound. Well, that's how I talk English anyway. Apple(Eh-pel).

Funny thing is that I once heard a Westerner(i.e English/American/Canadian/speaks english) pronounce the word Mati(Death) as Meh-tey/Matey. XD

But, I've rambled on about phonetics for too long. I'll update the FFOTY thread on saturday...

Mizan = ˈmɘ.zɛn

I love the IPA. Boom de yada.

(Used NZ English, which is why some symbols may seem out of place.)

I take it like this myself (also using the IPA):

mɪz æn

Though the ə (schwa) could pretty much be replaced with the ɪ

Canadian English btw

o.0 Um, no apple does not sound like ehpel. I say apple in the audio clip.

Yes, that is me in the audio clip. I couldn't find my mic, so I had to use the built in one on my laptop and it sucks.
I really need a new signature.

It almost sounds like a ə instead of a ʔ or just nothing at all, so that's why I put the ʔ, cause I could swear I could hear at least something.

You people and your fancy symbols.

When I want to explain how I pronounce something, I just use regular letters. Like, for "Apple", I'll go "Ahp-le" with an extra explanation of "le" pronounced to sound kind of like "ill".

Yeah, I don't really explain pronunciation often.

And yay! I've always pronounced Mizan's name right. *pats self on back*

*is awed by Misheard's wisdom* AWED I TELL YOU!

Actually, when I was learning about the stuff, I was quite surprised on about how it could be pronounced. That is to say, think of the word "a", there are a number of ways to pronounce it surprisingly. Everything from a Canadian "eh" to a "uh" sound. ;)

People and their languages, I tell yah. XD :P :3

In fact, if you were to use the phonetic alphabet for a particular dialect, you could pronounce things like a American Southerner no problem. XD (my teacher did it).

I just like imitating accents. My favourite ones to do are Irish, Scottish, Russian, American and Australian. In that order.

ACCENTS! I pull them out of my bum, seriously. *jumps in on the conversation* And then I get weird hybrids.

"... W-wha'? Wha' d' ya mean I 'ave t' go all th' way t' Oreburge t' get a badge? I want t' get yer badge, Mister Bryon! ... I don't 'ave enough badges? Wha' th' 'ell are ya talkin' 'bout?! I got all eight badges back in m' 'ome region o' 'oenn! ... Tha' doesn't count?! Doesn't count? Bloody 'ell, sir, I 'ave enough experience under m' belt an'... ooh, fine, if ya insist. By Arceus, this is freakin' unb'lievable. ... I don't be'ave m'self well enough? Oooh, why ya...!"

Like that. ^

What is this accent? I came up with it originally for an OC of mine, and it spread, and it morphed, and... WHAT IS IT? o__O? I love it to death, but heck if I know what it is. Western? Southern? I think originally I was going for something Irish/Scottish/British... >:

It reads as a cross between British, American Southern, and maybe Australian (if we count Australian as different from British, since there could be some differences)? I have a character with what would be described as an Australian accent, and I could here him speaking like that.

There might be something else in there, but those are the ones that I could hear when I read that.

I wouldn't classify it as British (I don't consider that an accent considering Britain contains lots of different regional accents as well as Welsh, Scottish, etc). I was going to say Scottish or Irish at first, but then the "ya" kind of threw that off. No one I know of from those places would say it. Then I decided to read it outloud in a Yorkshire accent, and that seemed to fit pretty well.

The thought of a trainer from Yorkshire is a little odd...

Personally, I'm not a fan of putting accents in the text itself; maybe that's because I just don't like using accents much anyway, but it always makes me confused at the character's speech. There's not much else I can contribute to the conversation seeing as it's a pretty slow day today, but I can inform people that Cats (the musical) has more Ear Worms than any other CD, show, or game series I've ever seen.

I know how to pronounce apple. fyi. The 'eh' is just to denote the slanted 'a' sound because I'm unfamiliar with IPA even with my studies into Linguistics and Rhythmic Phonetics(Made it up).

It doesn't matter how you say it, it still tastes like an apple.
All hail, Thane of Glamis
Apples. XD
You people and your fancy symbols.
Seconded...

Well, my favourite accents are Irish, Japanese(Only when used with the language or sometimes to comedic effect in English with the mispronunciation of 'l), Kelantanese(Malay dialect), Chinglish(Malaysian Chinese mixed with English) and Arabic-ish. Some of these sound weird when you speak them in English. :P

Yeah, you can get it on DVD, a very good version from London's West End. It has Elaine Page in it, who is very good imo.

And now I'm wondering why the Wikipedia page on Bo'ness has a picture of a Bo'ness drain cover on it.

Usually, the DVD beats the Youtube version, only if by making you actually have a sense of belonging.

Why were you looking at that page in the first place?

Other than that, I somehow managed to get from Hair Colors to Malaysia on Tv Tropes... Actually, I'm feeling really patriotic right now.
