But to have them completely vanish? That's a bit inexcusable.
Yeah, that is... and I have to admit that I'm totally guilty of doing this myself. It is hard to keep track of all nine members of the Ebon Hawk, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't at least try.
It's just not a pet peeve of mine - if I notice it in an otherwise good story, I'll just shrug and keep going. Whereas Mushpuppy Canderous will make me hit the back button at something approximating the speed of light. :-)
Yeah, that's exactly how I feel about it. If it "disappearing characters" happens in a story, it ought to be commented on, but it's not something that makes me completely write off a story the way that fluffy!Canderous does.
