Alters and handwriting?

That's real interesting Cassandra! It's really interesting to see how it works for other systems too. We mostly keep track of who's who depending on how strong of an accent, what language is being used, the spelling errors and how much cussing there is

Anasui: That's neat. We'd never be able to hide the DID if we had a facebook haha That's neat-o that one of the littles writes with an accent though!

The one that writes with an accent is in his 3os. He uses a lot of British slang, so it's very hard for me to try and understand what he's saying. He'll end up having my boyfriend translate. The little (around 11) is very playful and likes to be a little "troll" as the internet would probably call him...

Accents! That's what I forgot!

Valera writes as she speaks, and she has a Russian accent. It can be kinda weird to read sometimes.

Marie has a country accent, but she doesn't write like it. At least, not that I've seen.

Wow that's neat about the Russian accent. Like mine name I wish I could see her write! Umm.. Sorry about that. But yes Anastasia's name is pronounced with a Russian accent, actually. She usually just says [Annastasia] now, because when she tries to tell people it's said [Anastatsija] they usually just keeps saying it in the American way. But yeah, that's neat. I write with a very strong accent and so does Ana (country-style) while Leo has a way of writing that is usually very polite, using words like "dear" instead of names and writes in riddles, quotes etc mostly. I seriously love reading about your system, makes me feel more like we're normal

Anastasija iz a vunderful name. It dus not suprize me that Americans cannot grasp thee correct pronounciation. Do not bend to zheir vill, tho. Pronounce your name thee vay it vas meant to be pronounced, vhether or not people understand. You might be suprized one day eef someone listens vell enough to correctly repeat it.

(We were kinda co-hosting, so I apologize if things aren't exactly spelled as Valera wanted/the same way she'd speak them. I am surprised she replied to you, though. She's never gotten on here before, and has never come forward before unless I've been drinking vodka or am around her romantic interest).

There's a field of flowers and they smell like you
When I go walking through them
And I feel you remember me
You know I'd love to pick one for my lapel, but you know
There's too many insects watching
I'm afraid they'll tell on me

Anastasia...
I know you're out there...

I've never really tried writing things out. Insofar as I'm aware, Raine and I have the same handwriting, though I've yet to see any of the younger ones try and write. It seems like Jenny is left-handed, though, which may make writing hard, as writing left-handedly is not something that I have ever practised...

Thank you Valera Nin's SO has said it right a couple of times after I posted here and it made me very happy We're planning a trip to Russia and saving for it. I've wanted to go to St. Petersburg for as long as I can remember, and on the inside we have an eternal forest that is reminiscent of Russia as well. I really really can't wait to go It's the only dream I had growing up. Next year I might get to see a Kamchatka bear too. Have you ever been (you don't have to answer of course)? I'm proud I got to speak to you Thank you for answering

That's okay Cassandra, I'm just really happy she replied I'm glad she came out. Maybe she just needs someone to talk about something that is close to her heart too

Seeing the littles can be pretty weird. I remember seeing Anastasia write and being so proud (she's just learning to write) and me and everyone else being clueless as to what it said. Now we know how she writes and can read it, but give it to anyone (including my T) and we've not found anyone to be able to read it without help. It's kind of funny.

If Jenny's left-handed she should (probably) have no problem using that hand just because you don't. That's the beauty of DID right there - you didn't have to practice it, cause she did

Our handwritings are (for the most of us) quite similar. All because I've been really careful with that. At school people got to see our handwritings a lot, so I made sure everyone tried to make a copy of jeff's handwriting (he was still the host back then). That went on for about seven years, and now our handwritings only have small differences. We are working on getting our own handwritings back now.

What I would be curious about is how you're alters actually write, can someone show pictures of their handwriting? (once ours are a bit better I'll post them)

You can see Eliesa's handwriting in the littles thread (as she's signed her drawings) and L's handwriting can be seen here. Those are the ones who have been comfortable sharing theirs so far in our system
