Re: Your Storytelling Pet Peeves

The use of ridiculous pronoun substitutes. I get it, having nothing to fall back on but names and gendered pronouns can get boring, but God, be sensible. A character may refer to another with whom they have some kind of connection as "his friend" or "his companion", but when it isn't a complete stranger why on earth would they be referred to as "the blond" or "the larger man"? And why why why would you use those for your POV characters?

YES. Freaking epithets. If I never see another poorly-used one again it will be too soon.

The very very worst is when bad epithets appear in sex scenes -- and for some reason they constantly do.

I was reading a fic last night that was okay, but for some reason as soon as the sex started it was all "the older man" and "the shorter one" and "the younger man" and on and on. It got me wondering what writers like that would do with a pairing that was the same age and same height.

Hair colors, of course. And if they have the same hair, skin tones.

Hahah my guess is because so much porn is slash, and after a hundred uses of the word "he" some of the action might become somewhat unclear ;p

Het doesn't have this problem, though, so idk why it would show up there.
