This is DS. When do people speak naturally?
(Actually, fanfic in which the characters don't speak in the same sorts of stylized speech as they do on the show is one of my big pet peeves because the writer clearly isn't listening and picking up on the characters' actual speech patterns. But then, I'm a stickler that fanfic (or even authorized books, stories, plays, etc') should be as close as possible within the new story to being as accurate a reflection of the show as possible. The writers who take the time to do that have written some amazing stories...)
