Re: Your Storytelling Pet Peeves

Epithets that aren't relevant to the current scene. Calling Ron Weasley 'the ginger' only makes sense if his coloring is important information right when it's mentioned (like some random first-year who doesn't know his name is talking about him, or something), and it works a lot better if you're contrasting his coloring against someone else's. Don't just throw it into writing where it's not needed.

And, goddammit, remember that these people have names. Names are how people talk, so names are what you should default to. Saying someone's name over and over is a lot less noticeable than constant epithets.

I have several other rants about it, but I don't want to fill a whole page.
