Then my character isnt a slut! YAY! Hummm... guess she's just a massive tease sort of... doesnt help she can make people do whatever she wants when she's in a lot of trouble.
Decided to do a spot of outlining for Underdogs before watching "Who Do You Think You Are?" and maybe afterwards as well, while I wait for my muse to give me some dates for something in Suns and Stars, so I can at least do something productive.
It absolutely is. I love how fantastically quotable it is. And all of the characters are really interesting and both well-written and well-acted.
Not really, Glo. I do it all the time. Mostly because French accents are just too complicated. 
Speaking of accents...I've watched 2 movies recently not set in Great Britain but the actors had British accents. One was set in Italy, the other in France. I think both are set in the 14th century. I am greatly confused. Sorry if this is a stupid question...
Not a stupid question, Karla. It is kind of an odd phenomenon.
The way I see it, the people who make movies/tv like to use British actors/accents for any setting that is not the US (so, anything from present-day France to 14th century Italy to Middle Earth) because the characters need to sound different from the way we would normally talk. But, at the same time, they know that British accents are easier to understand than, say, French accents, and so they use those.
There's also something called a "stage accent" (I think that's the right term) which isn't technically a British accent but might sound a little bit like one because it sounds more proper, I guess would be the word for it.

I think the theory is that English accents sound appropriately historical to American audiences, even when they bear absolutely no resemblance to the actual accents that would have been used at the time.
