Short question: what do others think of using written speech vs. the way it sounds in stories? Do you find it distracting or do you not mind?
Something like:
"I'm going to smash your face in," the orc growled.
vs.
"I'm gonna smash yer face in," the orc growled.
I've seen this used to good effect where it doesn't bother me to much, but I've seen it overused to the point of being difficult to read.
Thoughts?
