I'm just giggling to myself because I'm pretty sure I know the only martial artist named Dave that you know. Whats going through my mind is probably not printable in a family newspaper (of course, it rarely is).
Ack! I don't believe you went there. I just wanted a short and common name.
Fic-Dave is nothing like Spar-Dave. Does this guy look like a rabid weasel to you? Personality-wise they're just about polar opposites (yeah, I know Fic-Dave doesnt get enough screen-time in this bit to show that).
Glad I could bring a smile to your face, but no. Just...no. :) -J
I've never considered myself constrained by mere photography. And I'm surprised at your surprise that I "went there." One of the biggest problems I have with naming people when I write is that in doing so, I envision people with the same name, rather than the character I'm actually trying to write about. It can get very distracting. Frankly, I cannot use the name Dave or David at all because it's my brother's.
Yeah, I can see the difficulty there then. I have no problem using non-unique names like Dave or John or Sarah, where I know several. Odder names like Haven or Lyndon sometimes get me.
If you'd seen the pic and the fic and didnt know the author knew that Dave, would it still have felt like him?
Probably, because a huge part of how I identify that Dave is his martial arts background. My brother didn't even occur to me because the last time he kicked ass I think he threw something out.
