Some books I've read have six characters each with a unique Britsh accent: Scotland, London, Wales, York. For one, in some cases, I can't really appreciate the differences. Secondly, if there is two pages of nothing but dialog, I get lost. So how many accents and if every character does a monologue comes into play.
Good luck on the midieval accent. I wish I had something for you.

Thanks for wishing me luck...i'll need it. But you've been a big help though! At least the two characters with southern accents will be a bit easier to write for. Now the girl with the midieval accent...she'll be tough, especially since she appears before the other two.
