Re: Modern colloquial/slang expressions in fantasy?

[(Anonymous)]

Late but...I'd recommend looking at how people handle historical fiction, particularly stuff set in the 1500's, since that genre actually has the same debate basically.

From what I've seen it really depends on how you're writing the story. If it's something that's not High-Fantasy, or it's comedic high fantasy, then it's a lot more lax in things like how people talk. But if it is high fantasy? Then I'd follow the same rule of thumb a lot of Historical fiction does: Use wording that's more formal instead of what might actually have been said at the time [since, prior to the early-mid 1800's, a lot of it would be hard to understand] and stay away from old-time slang for the same reason.
