ximeria: (DS - Ben/Ray - close your eyes)
Most of you guys know that one of the few things that can throw me out of a story, is bad characterization, right?

Right, cool. Until tody I didn't really understand that bad physical description could do the job just as well.

I've been reading some older fics today, just to relax because the morning was spent hunting around town for stuff I needed to buy before flying off to Scotland on Friday. I was reading a fic where Fraser and Ray Kowalski are embracing. Just holding each other. It wasn't a fantastic fic or anything, but it wasn't lousy either. So what threw me off reading? Um... Ray putting his head against Fraser's chest. They're standing up, so excuse me, wouldn't he have to bend down to do that? And at one point Fraser rests his chin on Ray's head... They're still standing up!

Am I the only one who finds that image slightly skewed? Here I thought the only thing that could annoy me was bad characterization, including calling RayK Stanley all the way through a fic. I've been known to copy the story into an editor and do a search/replace XD -- It was too distracting to have to stop every time someone called Ray Stan or Stanley.

Please bear with the nasal pronounciation -- I've got a bit of a cold... -- and the French? Don't even go there.
