Sometimes I just want to grab certain fic writers and shake them and scream, "WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID TO USE THE CHARACTERS' NAMES?!?!?!?!" Seriously! I just tried to read a fic that I SWEAR, the entire first half, the characters' names were never mentioned. It was all, 'the smaller man' - and that one was when the character was BY HIMSELF. WHO IS HE SMALLER THAN?! WTF?!?! - 'the winger', 'the American man', 'the Canadian', 'the blue-eyed one', 'the brown-eyed one', etc etc.

no, wait, I was wrong. The entire fic is like this. ugh.

I guess the writer thought she was being clever? I don't know. It made me want to spork something, but I settled for reading fic that was well-written instead.

(for future reference: why epithets are evil)
