nishatalithaThe saga about Black Knight continues with his flatmate B. receiving a phone call on her work answerphone telling them all to go to hell.
I have a bone to pick with a fanfiction community. Someday I may actually get around to telling them about it.
It just bothers me how some authors use a characters surname when they write from that character's perspective. I've read a couple of books that do this. Point of Hopes, Point of Dreams by someone and Melissa Scott. The Wellington Central Library has them.
My point is that it was really disorientating to read the stories, and then suddenly the men would address each other by their first names rather than their last names, and I wouldn't know who they were talking about.
It's not quite as bad in the fandom that I'm thinking about. Normally it's only one particular character that has this happen to him. Nevertheless, it's still strange.
