I hate getting invested in a team green centric story, only for the author to suddenly decide that they’re changing aegon’s name or sometimes aemond’s. why even tag their names at all? and then insist that then changing their names doesn’t mean anything? I think it changes a lot of things. like, that’s not aegon, that’s baelon, and that’s not aemond, that’s aelyx. they made it like that. forty plus chapters into a story only for them to come up with this, it’s aggravating. of course, they are the author and they are writing their story, I respect that. I just wish they were upfront about it, especially when they tag their names. I am expecting for them to show up and retain the names the author tagged. it is so hard to find team green centric fanfictions, actual ones. half of them are just people completely changing characters in team green, from the names to their personalities. i know it’s such a nonissue, but to i wish people could properly tag their work. if I had I known from the beginning the names of certain characters were going to be changed, especially aemond’s, I wouldn’t have read it all.

I have not been reading many fics recently and wasn't really aware that this was a thing that happened. I can't see how someone would not tag something like this in a fic, especially if it's that long. I feel like it should have come up beforehand. But as I said before, I don't really read much fics to know how much of an issue this is. Sorry this happened to you. To each their own, I guess, with the ones who do things like that. I'm not one who should really lecture anyone about tagging since I barely know if I'm tagging my fics properly at times but changing a character's name should be a tag.
