Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

what about using "the" and "a", then?

i mean, i wasn't planning on writing out all my w's with a v's and all that nonsense, but i have noticed that russians (in fiction) don't often use the words "the" and "a" when talking about a noun in english. this is my main concern really.

i hope this makes sense?????

if they have speech quirks/missing words, that's usually one thing people don't mind so much. but when you've got like, meridia from brave 'i kin unnerstan what ye be sayin', ye daft sonnoch.' that's where people get annoyed. i, on occasion, play a ukranian character who has a very heavy accent and she does the thing where she drops certain words or places them oddly. i've never had anyone complain about that and i think as long as it's legible, no one cares.

eg; if you have character that sounds like so, in head, this comes out with accent and words missing here and there, yes?

that, i believe (and people can correct me if i'm wrong), is more acceptable than 've haff vays of making you tok.'

That's not accent, it's dialect. You can keep that. Just make sure it's actually accurate to the character you're writing, ad not just something you're leaning on because it's common across the general field of Russian characters.
