I very much want to use "sloppy" language ("I was goin' ta'
leave,") but there are two problems with that. Firstly, perhaps
most importantly, reading that during an entire fic could get
old pretty quick, and secondly, well, as I said, it's in writing,
and supposedly also proofread, so it might not be believable for
it to get there in the first place.

Opinions?

While Ranma might talk like that (and even think like it! :) reading an
entire fiction in the "sloppy" language format would get difficult very
quickly.  I would suggest use "sloppy" for dialog, but keep it "neat" for
the rest.

Just my opinion, though. :)
