#AwesomeCharacters Names?

I actively try to avoid a Game of Thrones situation where there's too many characters for a reader to keep track of. So, I might not give one a name until they appear with dialogue or action at least twice. Even then, I might not consider any backstory to them.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

When do you consider a side character to have earned a name?

Is it when they speak a line of dialogue? Have a certain amount of importance to the story? When it is confusing to describe the scene otherwise?

wrote like 1700 words of this today (hockeyfic, LD/MT) but I think they're being too nice to each other??? The point of the ship is the hate, but apparently I don't want to write people being mean?

Apparently what it takes for the knifefeets to win is:
1. I shit talk them aggressively and proclaim that they are going to lose, it’s just maths
2. Coreo and I eat preferred snacks
3. I read AU hockeyfic to Coreo out loud and interrupt myself occasionally to swear loudly at anyone in the sin bin
We have a new hockey ritual and it's a delight. I'll let tux explain.

"between the pain and the stupid" would be such a good hockeyfic title
