A final comment on this from me. If there is going to be playing around with the core of the language, there had better be an overwhelming story reason necessitating it. I don't mean an authorial reason, a *story* reason. I generally do not turn to fantasy in hopes of being dragged around by my grammatical hair. If it's literary fiction, then fine. I figure I've got it coming. But when I show up in the fantasy aisle, I am far more interested in adventure and interesting worlds. When I go into a hamburger joint, I ain't looking to be fed foie gras. Granted, there's always that one chef who can surprise and delight me, but such chefs are rare indeed.
