Question on Demon Speak
Posted: 23 Apr 06 5:12 PM

I love how the demons in DemonTech speak.  How did you come up with the way they draw out words?  The way there speech is written, lets me visualize how and hear what they are saying.  It brings a smile to my face everytime of them says: "feeeeed meeee"

ShadowGhost1,

Ignore Dan, he's just jealous because my diction is so much clearer than his. As to your question, I really don't remember the original inspiration for the demon speak. But it felt right. And different kinds of demons don't really speak the same way. A little twist I thought was interesting, and I hope you agree, is that even though people from different lands speak different languages, they and the demons can understand each other no matter what language the people speak.

Damn, this is my third post today and I forgot to mention something in the other two. Dan and I will be at Balticon (the Baltimore Science Fiction Convention) over Memorial Day weekend. So anybody who is in that area, drop by and say hello. You can get info at www.balticon.org.

Yes, we're going to Balticon and my job will be to interpret David's demonspeak when he sits on panels.

HAHA... Good stuff. I liked the Demontech novels (read those before Starfist actually)

Nope, I'll be stuck here in Pensacola NAS still.
