What makes me sick in some American fanfics is the author calling characters by their names, if in canon their surnames are being used. Like calling ACD's Holmes "Sherlock" (even making Watson call him that), or, say, calling Hastings "Arthur", or Poirot "Hercule" for that matter. It's just outright creepy.

....am I missing something? Because in my head I can distinctly hear Watson calling him Sherlock in the BBC Sherlock.

They said ACD's though, meaning the original stories

That's a significant difference between the BBC Sherlock and the source material. One of the effects of moving it to the modern day, when interpersonal norms are somewhat different.

ACD = Arthur Conan Doyle, the original stories from the late 19th/early 20th cent. which, whatever BBC Sherlock fans will say, are not the same thing at all.

Still smarting over a Holmes/Watson fic I wrote being labelled "ACD Johnlock" by someone. NO.

Not just fanfics. The published pastiche novel "A slight trick of the mind" does it ALL the way through. ARGH. Did Not Do the Research.

How about the flip side - people writing fics from the perspective of the character, but *not* using their first name?

For example, Snape. In most cases, fics from another character's perspective are correct to call him by his last name, because that's how most characters think of him. But third-person fics that are supposed to be from *his* perspective, but use the last name, bug me.
