Good lord. Why do people DO that? Surely they can't enjoy reading it when OTHER people do it?? It makes my head hurt just thinking about it.
And, dude, I forgot how huge that was in Spike fic! We were so lucky in Spike fandom; there were so many good stories that if you came across a written-out accent, you could just close the fic and move on to something better. I'm having a much harder time finding good stories in Doctor Who (and to a lesser extent, Life on Mars) and I end up slogging through a lot of crap because of it. But the written out accent is generally a dealbreaker.
