So, I'm about to start a Stilinski-family chapter of the Teen Wolf fic I'm working on...which means now I actually have to deal with not knowing the sheriff's first name.

I know fandom seems to have a love-hate relationship with the name John, and I don't mind that name, but I kind of don't want to use and be eventually found wrong (or alienate the portion of fandom that hates it for being boring and overused). So I was thinking about just sticking with Stilinski. Would that be off-putting to you, to read about "Stilinski" watching his son sleep and ruminating on their past?

Also,with all the talk of character bashing in the dealbreakers thread, I'm a little nervous about this story. Because Stiles has really not been pleasing me this season. I think he's made choices that give people some legitimate grievances against him, and part of my fic is exploring those grievances.

Stiles will eventually get his head on straight, but now I'm worried a ton of people will read the first parts as "Stiles-bashing" and give up.

Maybe if he had the mustache to go with the name.

lol

Personally I wouldn't mind using just Stilinski or Sheriff, since it should be obvious that you are writing about him and not Stiles.

On your other concern, well, some people won't read anything negative on their favorite character, so there isn't much that you can do about it.

I've seen other authors refer to him as just Stilinski. Nothing wrong with that at all, if you want to avoid a first name.

As for character bashing, as long as you're legit exploring things you think he's done wrong, do it respectfully and don't make him out to be a horrible person, you should be fine. This applies to any character, not just Stiles.

Would that be off-putting to you, to read about "Stilinski" watching his son sleep and ruminating on their past?

Maybe a little, but dude, I'd just find+replace if it bothered me.

I actually prefer Stilinski or Sheriff to John! So that wouldn't be an issue with me.

And exploring the problems you have with a character is vastly different than character bashing. As long as you do it in an intelligent way that doesn't come off as hateful or petty then I don't see the problem. Stiles isn't a perfect character and idk how anyone could not see that.
