So basically just like every Regency novel out there?

[(Anonymous)]

I sort of agree? And I actually like flowery writing most of the time, but it seems like a lot of writers don't have the touch for it, and it often seems very ersatz - like it's based on a very narrow received idea of what Victorian style should be like.

This. It's a little more flowery than contemporary language, but some authors think that means super run on sentences or just plain incomprehensible writing.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, and that's another thing - writing sentences with the length, complexity and structure often employed by the Victorians, and doing so effectively, requires a grammatical rigor and precision that's unaccustomed now.

Not saying that's a good or bad thing, particularly, just the style of the times.

[(Anonymous)]

IA. I don't think many people grasp that, and their efforts are just...long sentences with shaky verb conjugation and too many adjectives.

[(Anonymous)]

This is exactly how I feel about people who try to write Jane Austen sequels in the same style. Not that very many people try, which is both disappointing and... well, probably just as well.

[(Anonymous)]

The flowery writing is part of the draw.

[(Anonymous)]

I absolutely love it when a fanfic author is able to writing convincingly in that Regency Era style. But I can't imagine it's easy, and the majority of the time it's badly done IMO.

[(Anonymous)]

When done well, that's rather the point? It's hard to separate the language of those eras from the literature if someone is aiming for that same feel.

[(Anonymous)]

I just can't stand that era, so those kind of fics I would probably never click on.

[(Anonymous)]

I love than :D :D
