As the readers are probably aware, I go to great lengths to leave the guys' last names out of my fics. On the show, I believe Scott was the only one whose last name was spoken, and only then, just in the fifth season---which isn't canon for me anyway. Since I'm writing about the fictional versions, it feels more "fictional" to keep their last names unspoken.
But the Second Look fic requires last names. It just isn't possible to get around it. So I'm trying to keep a certain level of ambiguity by abbreviating the names. "Scott L." "Elliott K." etc.
But guess what?
Jeff ends up being "Jeff T.", or "Mr. T." according to his college teacher.
Mr. T.

Date: 2009-07-23 12:12 pm (UTC)Of course, names are never an issue with my posted fics, though I do wonder how I'm going to cover the trial in the Spellbound fic... (oh, yeah, the movie is on my DVR, but I haven't gotten around to seeing it yet. So is Casablanca. X3)
(Cough! Sneeze! Capture Grunge! ...? Which one is that? XD)

Date: 2009-07-25 02:10 am (UTC)**snickers.** That reminds me.... We randomly name parts of our experimental setup at the lab.... We've got a large drum (like an oil drum) that we call Gerdy, short for Gertrude, there's a small water pump we call Little Timmy, and there's another tank of water that one of the guys stuck a picture of Mr. T. on, so that's what we call it.
