If I never read the words "the other man" instead of a character's name in a fanfic again it will be too soon. Just repeat the damn names. With the name, I see the person. With "the other man" I see the words the.other.man, and have to stop and think about it. Clunky.
This rant brought to you by a sleepless day and the loss of a night's wages at a time when I really can't afford to lose any money because I didn't sleep well. Fanfic rant not withstanding, no fanfic is implicated in today's lack of sleep.
*sigh*
