I mean, how does Joss Whedon live with himself after writing those things Angelus says? :P But yes, I hate it when I can’t tell who is speaking because everyone speaks the same.</p>
<p>Or when a book is well-written, but the editors mess up the line breaks. “Wait, why is Stephen talking like Jack? Wait, why is Stephen talking like Jack and addressing himself! DAMN YOU W.W. NORTON!”</p>Felicityhttp://faerye.nethttp://faerye.net/post/the-dialogue-trap#comment-2355Dialogue2008-09-03T22:22:03+00:002008-09-03T22:22:03+00:00<p>Dialogue is fun for me to play with too. What’s weird is that in a way you have to work to write dialogue that you yourself would never say – you have to stay in character, for each character. I hate it when all the characters is a story talk the same exact way.</p>Jeannine Hall Gaileyhttp://www.webbish6.com
