Re: Fic containing multiple languages

Depending on what kind of fic it is and which characters...

I have no trouble with Sherlock randomly talking French, nor do I take an issue with it being written in French, even if I don't understand a word of what is written. It is all in how it is done and also give me the translation in some shape or form...

Like with everything it depends on how well it is actually done, a great author will make it work a less good author might not manage as well, but that is the same with any kind device used in fiction...

I feel the same as you mixed with the anon below you. I think it's something that's really hard to pull off well and that's one reason it has such a negative connotation. But done well? Those fics are an adventure and a joy. However, whether something is or is not to your* taste is just that, your taste. It doesn't make something horrible just because you, personally, don't like it. So let people write what they want to write.

I think I even read that ST fic the previous OP was talking about. I actually went looking for it to ask them if that was what they meant but couldn't find it.
