Just in real life it seems, I don't know, a tad bizarre to me
Whedonesque's not real life. Well, not realer than here, anyway.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
We'll end up on fandom wank at this rate over quote marks.
ETA: Yeah, but I consider Whedonesque a little more visible. Hence, more formal. Or something.

Nah.
At least, I don't think so. F_W's been slow on the uptake lately, and even at our worst, we're too civil to really mockity mock mock.
Plus, I'm sure Harry Potter fandom is having a meltdown RIGHT NOW, seeing as they have them on a daily basis.

My position on it is to replicate what they call themselves (down to capitalisation) while within the same medium, and ask about changing to something else when switching. Except in meara's case, where I just don't want to call her by her real name. shrift too.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Shrift's real name is shrift, and I don't care what her driver's license says.

Hey. New board.
If anybody called me NovaChild in life, I think I'd do a double-take. Strangely, I imagine I'd take Nova without blinking.
David, David Griswold, Gris, Griswold, Grizzly Bear, Grize, D-Gris, Dave, and Hey, Dude are all preferable, however.
That statement isn't pretentious, I think, it's just fandomly. He thinks it's the best movie ever made. Good for him. I've got friends that make the same argument for Starship Troopers. Hell, I've said similar things about some weird movies in my time (Josie and the Pussycats, for example, briefly owned me). It's very easy to get frustrated with the general world's lackluster reaction to something you think deserves better, and respond with an enthusiasm backlash. It's like when I look up a movie I quite liked on IMDB and it has a user rating of 5, and I have to restrain myself from giving it an undeserved 10 just to pull up its rating.
