Re: Modern colloquial/slang expressions in fantasy?

[(Anonymous)]

I agree...to an extent. Though it depends on how the communication goes - and factors that *aren't* just limited to technology [for example, in a fantasy world magic would effect things depending on how it acts.]

That said, like I said in the comment above your's, not using terms from the time is actually really common in historical fiction simply because it can get really hard to follow for people who aren't versed in it - and you don't want to force people to follow a dictionary you've included in the back just to understand what the characters are saying to each other. Granted, some would make sense but considering most fantasy is set in a 1500's-ish time period, and modern english didn't come about until the 1800's? There's a lot that wouldn't match up.

...Also, out of curiosity, how would using words that already existed be "biting" someone's style?

I have no idea myself! Like I said, it was one of the things that tipped me off that said friend of mine had... strange ideas about period word use, to say the least.
