This is so lovely, not the part of her murder, but her friendship with Andy is lovely. I am in love with your writing. Missed you ♡

Really? I just think that somethings people don't understand me, I kinda of worry too much...
It should be a "About this book" but my keyboard kinda got a problem and every time I tried to rewritte something he wrote the correction and deleted the next word.... I don't really know what happened but it was strange.

I'm brazilian yeah. Wow say hi to that friend of yours.
I have never hear about his book but I tried to read Shakespeare in english for a school play but I didn't got so well, so we changed for a easier english (especially because most people in my country don't speak english).
Oh is nice that phonetic style can show accents too, I have always wanted to learn some american accent or at least differ them one for the other... But I not so talent for that, I can even differ accent from my own country.
Now I see what were you intencion with the different style of speaking and makes sense that (y/n) and Andy talks different.
That is why I love your work, I care about details it is so rare seeing this in fanfics...

A good book that is an example of a phonetic style is called 'Their Eyes Were Watching God' by Zora Neale Hurston.

Are you from Brazil? I have another friend who lives there- what a coincidence!
It is sort of an older style, but it is more meant to sound like slang from the past. The way I'm writing is not actually exactly the way people spoke in the Renaissance, but I wanted to give just a flavor of being an older way of speaking, and that Andrew was upper class, and that (Y/N) was lower class. I decided it would be too hard for me to write a whole story with (Y/N) speaking in a strong dialect (I would have to do a lot of research), as well as too hard for people to read and understand.
Writing more heavily in an older style can be very difficult to read for a native English speaker as well. For example, reading Shakespeare and understanding it can be very difficult for anyone that's not read a lot of much older work.
But there are different ways that people can write that are difficult. for example, I read a book that was written heavily in a phonetic, Southern USA accent style. It was hard for me, but I got used to it as I went on.
@SmuttyPariah
Hey relax. I love challenges and I love to learn new things. Is it difficult even for a english speaker? Is it like a old style of the language? Because in Brazil we had to read old books written in Portugal and it was so hard to understand...
@Underworld's Heiress
It's very hard to read, it's not just you! When I was younger and in high school, in my English class we had to read a book that was written VERY heavily in that style. At first it was very, very difficult for me, but it got a little easier as I said it in my head as I read.
I just want to make sure you don't feel bad for being challenged by it- it is very normal to find it difficult to read. At first I was going to write it even more in that style, but then I decided not to because it is even harder to write in than it is to read. Very tough stuff! ;3
@SmuttyPariah
Oh I see. No problem, it is just because I didn't find the meaning anyhere. Thanks for explaining, I still not used with slangs and this phonetic style (I got a Harley Quinn's comic in the same way) but I'll learn. :)
@Underworld's Heiress
Sorry, that chapter is written partially in a phonetic style, meaning how it sounds when the character says it, instead of how it's properly spelled. So (Y/N) was saying, "Here, of course."
