I guess it's 'bad form' to write in English if someone's going to read it in
America, too?

     No. English and American are both derrivitaves of the same language
branch, and quite a bit more compatible than Japanese (which we have to
romanize anyway) and english in a prose story.

Well, why do people 'correct' me when I write 'colour' and other such words?

Which English would you like? English English or American English? I guess
it's 'bad form' to write in 'English English' if you're going to read it
in America since that's another language.

     But they're really close together.

Execpt that the American English is lazy English... Some words are typed as
they sound rather than the real spelling.

All my stories have Japanese in them somewhere. If you don't like it, you
can lump it. I'm not going to stop writing some stuff in Japanese and I am
not going to write in American just to make it 'good form' for you, either.
So... Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedah! :p

     Like I said, I view fanfic writing along the same lines as subtitling.
You want to write it in, if possible, *ONE* language. After all, we really
should be writing this stuff in Japanese, ne (and I don't mean romanized
Japanese, either). *BUT* we write it in english to make it easier for a
mass to understand (I believe the english family are still the dominant
languages on the internet). Similarly, subtitlers translate the work to
english, except for words which don't translate meaningfully (my previous
example was "sempai" which literally means "upperclassman", but there's
no real similar concept in American schools--that of formally addressing
your upperclassmen). I think we should do this in fanfics as well. Really,
we're translating a work into english, and we should do it all the way.

*shrug* Go tell the Japanese off for using katakana, then. I'm doing the
opposite... Mostly English with some Japanese as opposed to all Japanese
with English thrown in.

And in subtitles where the Japanese people speak in English, they sometimes
translate that to the romaji of the Japanese word. I think there was some of
that in the subtitling of Fary Princess Ren or something...

eg: Charater: One, two, three!
    Subtitle: Ichi, ni, san!

So.. Nyaaaahhhhhhh yourself. (I can be immature as well, Kun-chan).

I'm happy for you!

Kun-chan...
