Oh, I absolutely agree that there's a time and a place for obviously insincere or inauthentic dialogue, and the satirical and humorous are two obvious instances of this. Another instance might be when a character is playing a part rather than being themselves - i.e. if the character is inauthentic within the context of the story, then it might help if they speak in an obviously inauthentic manner.


That's a great point. Thanks for your wisdom. And in point of fact (more shameless self-promotion - forgive me) I am currently in the process of writing a later chapter of Alison Goes to London, where the above character (Riley) has to act "posh", despite being "common as muck". This is proving a challenge to write - but such fun!

Speech in fiction is less about absolute fealty to a particular accent by virtue of location, social class, etc, and much more about what fiction is always about; being believable enough for the reader to want to suspend disbelief for the duration of the story.


This, and WW's comments above, are spot on - as I (not a very experienced fiction writer) am discovering. I wonder whether you think that one possible exception, though, might be when one is wanting to write dialogue or narration which needs to seem inauthentic or unbelievable, for satirical or humoristic purposes?

By example, forgive me if, in an act of shameless self-promotion, I quote this outrageously over-the-top use of an imagined dialect from my own Alison Goes to London (chapter 9), which I think works quite well in the context:

The skinny girl heard, turned her head, did a double-take, and looked in amazement at Alison.
“‘Ey!” the girl called. “You’re Alison Bates!” said the girl.
“Uh… yeah?” replied Alison uncertainly.
“Lick m’ pussy!” squealed the girl in delight. “My name’s Riley. You’re my idol! I watched you on the Fuck Factor and everyfink! I wanna be like you!” Her boy began to sink his shaft into her ass, but she pushed him away, saying, “‘Ang on a sec’, Larry, I wanna talk to this girl! She’s got this amazin’ arsehole; she’s, like, a fuckin’ celeb–”
Very fond - but have not yet had the time to get to know her better. Hope to rectify that...
Congratulations to the winners!

And thanks to Kimmi for giving us all such fun! And thanks for being so transparent about who the judges were, and what their criteria were - that's the way it ought to be!

And yes, please reassure the judges, Kimmi, that we are indeed all kinky pervs - and best kept at arm's length...

Just so long as it's not cheesecake. I don't like hard impenetrable bottoms...
“Fuck yeah banana!” Hammock slung, she sways, lasciviously admiring the phallic fruit. Loops of techno passacaglia, plus too much weed, spank her brain senseless as, shilling in the kitty, she inserts the peeled plantain into her puckered but loosening fundament. “Fuck yeah…” she moans… swaying… loops… fuuuuck… loops… toke… yeaahhhh…

I agree with Kimmi.

I wish I'd bought one years ago. It's like playing on a proper piano instead of a cheap Casio keyboard.


I am a professional pianist and piano teacher - and heartily agree. I insist my students practise on a "proper" acoustic piano, because it's the only way to build muscle strength. Electronic keyboards - including so-called "weighted keyboards" - just don't push back enough.

In the olden days, typists never got RSI, because they were always building muscle strength as they worked. RSI only started to become a big issue with the advent of electric typewriters, and then word processors.

I have an old manual typewriter in the antechamber to where I teach piano - so that my students can limber their fingers by typing before they come in for their piano lesson. It builds their muscles - and they love it.

-- You must be quite talented to actually make a living off your skills. Bravo!


You are very kind, Morgan. But I think it's rather as you say about writing: a bit of talent is just the beginning. Then there's the practice, determination, self-analysis, self-promotion - and good luck is also handy. I think all the creative arts work in similar ways. I am just as in awe at your success - and your brilliance - as a writer!
Boil the skinned chicken with ginger, garlic, celery, five-spice powder, black peppercorns, salt. Fry raw rice in the fat from the chicken skin, with some chopped onion and garlic. Steam the rice in the stock from the boiled chicken. Carve chicken, serve on a bed of salad sprinkled with soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped coriander leaves, sliced spring onions. Dip in chilli sauce (chilli, garlic, a touch of rice vinegar, salt). Strain the stock to make a light broth, to drink on the side or pour over the rice.

Not recommended to have sex too soon after eating this. Garlic. Your partner won't thank you.

If you want money and fame, be an actor or a singer.


Agree with everything you say, Morgan, except this. I am a musician, and work and and off in theatre / performing arts. There is a tiny minority of famous rich performers - but most are underpaid, overworked and unacknowledged. I am fortunate to be able to scrape a living, by concentrating on a couple of niche markets. But most of us are, like writers, unknown and poor. Conclusion: if you want money and fame, don't become an actor or a singer!

my only real issue with your stories is that you don't use the word 'fuck' enough. pretty sure you're slacking if you don't squeeze it in at least every other sentence.


Hey, Rachel, didn't you notice? In Metamorphoses I didn't say "fuck" for a whole nine paragraphs!

(Yeah OK, OK, I know I said "cunt" twice in those nine paragraphs - but... maybe it's the party talking, or the chocolate fondue...)

Very nice stewed with mushrooms, garlic, white wine, with a sprinkling of thyme.
