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

I don't remember (and it's been a while) Doyle being called anything other than Doyle.

If I had some free time, I'd haul out the DVDs and refresh my memory ..

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

He isn't called Ray often, but I think both Bodie and Cowley do call him that sometimes-- and I think various of the girls-of-the-week may call him Ray, which would encourage the slashers to do so, and to have Bodie do so.

ETA: actually, Bodie calls him 'Ray' quite a lot of the time. According to these transcripts, in the first ten episodes the name Ray is used for Doyle in eight of them, and in seven the users include Bodie. So not as much of a fan-thing as I'd thought. I'd run up full statistics if I had time.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Doyle, (the fic writer, not the Pros character or the Angel character) wrote a cute little piece of Wes/Gunn.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Huh. Admittedly, I've seen two episodes of Pros, but I've read enough of the fic that the use of Doyle's first name didn't make me blink.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I need this t-shirt; do you?

I just wandered over to fanfiction.net to check a story of mine to see where I left off and discovered they've now gone to this rating thing from FictionRating.com. WTF?

That issue popped up on my flist the other day, connie-- here to be precise. In short, the MPAA seems to have sent at least one C&D letter to a fanfic site which was using their rating system, and so the creators of ff.n have created FictionRating.com to make it clear that they're not involved with any of that kind of thing.

Huh. Seems like the simplest thing to do is just to pull ratings completely and leave in keywords for things that might squick. I've already got a warning on the front end of my site that says some things are probably illegal for underage folks somewhere to be reading.

I get a good bit of feedback from ff.net, I'd hate to just yank the stories, because there's no way to tell people why.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I get a good bit of feedback from ff.net, I'd hate to just yank the stories, because there's no way to tell people why.

I feel much the same way about ff.net (or, as some people have taken to calling it, 'The Pit of Voles'). I look at it as a necessary evil, especially since I don't have my own site, and my fandoms are diverse enough that there really isn't any other archive that will take the whole megillah.
