I’m against it in all circumstances. Nothing ruins a dramatic moment in a comic than a character shouting “nooo!” - in my head it always rhymes with “moo”.
I’m sorry it came to this, but this is clearly the behaviour of a deviant. Expect a visit from officers who will escort you to an undisclosed location for reprogramming.
There’s always the method used for held lyrics under the staves on sheet music; namely: expand the repeats with hyphens (or en or em dashes if you’re feeling fancy / like an AI).
You can still incorporate this odd / even rule too: No -> No - o - o; Moon -> Moo - oo - oon
There might need to be extra hyphens before and after surrounding consonants according to taste. I haven’t pinned down my own preference yet.
At a push, there need be no repeats of any letters and the whole extension is done with hyphens or dashes and long spaces: e.g. Spoon -> Sp — — o — — o — — n.
Subtitler @[email protected] elsewhere in the comments might like to experiment with this method too.
What’s your opinion on lengthening the word “no”?

You’ll hate me for this, but I semi-frequently write my extended no as nuuuuu to specifically target a rhymes-with-moo read.

I’ll tell ya one thing, I absolutely hate that rendering of the word spoon. That, I will certainly not be experimenting with.
