SF&F Avatar Contest: Accents

Hear ye! Hear ye!

There may well be a wider variety of accents in sci-fi and fantasy than anywhere else, and why not? Think of those characters who have made a distinct impression on you, either in a one-time shot or a regular basis. Labored or refined, unusual or expected...

I'd like to post the voting thread Friday evening

I think this might be a serious contender:

Well durnit, you beat me to Ahnold while I was making this, but I'm going to enter it anyway.

If we only have two days for this you can count me out -I simply won't be able to make it

If you, however give us till (very late) Saturday I will give it a try -even if I normally need a couple of days to come up with an idea...

OK, thanks.

I wonder... could perhaps... the very strange way...... Kirk...... talks be considered an accent?

nx1701g · September 30 2009, 03:16 AM

^ I wouldn't think so but the way Jean-Luc Picard talks...

trekkiedane · September 30 2009, 03:20 AM

^JLP speaks English... how can that be considered an accent

These 'people', however, speak with strange accents:

^Thanks, but I really don't mean to disturb the whole thing, and I suppose I could go with that tweaked image from GQ I just posted... it's not as if I have to have a whole week or something... I just like to have a couple of days to think things over.
