Microslop. There, we did our part! This article will more than likely buy us a blacklist on the Bing network. For those people younger in the crowd, asking, "What's a Bing?" Ohh, bless you, child, for nature is healing. First, a special thanks to the PCMasterRace thread on Reddit for the graphic a

Thoughts on using modern terms or slang in a fantasy setting? I know some readers have very… strong opinions about this, but what if it is intentional? What if there is a reason for it and it comes from a character from a more advanced society? I’m curious what you all think.

Watching an Adam Savage YT video of a past livestream, someone asks him, "What makes a character, other than the actor?" and...

The writing.

It's always the writing.

An actor can make a character their own, but it starts always with the writing. Without it, there's nothing for the actor to be or do.

(which is why shitty/inconsistent writing dooms actors too closely identified with any one single character)

Random thought: someone who knows better correct me if I'm wrong, but, if you say that a male character's voice "dropped several octaves", that either means it's below human hearing range, or his normal speaking voice is really high, right?

Saying, "his voice dropped to a growl" or some such serves the same purpose and works better, IMO.
