Oh no, spamming the livejournal...

Anyway, here's the thing: I'm writing a story which has a character who has amnesia (yes, just in time for my cliché panel at connotations!) and I'm writing it in third person kind of from his point of view.

So, character A has amnesia and for a certain reason, he actually thinks he's B. Is it reasonable for me to call him B once he comes to the conclusion that's who he is (even though that conclusion is wrong, he's going to get told it's wrong but initially not believe it and then discover it is wrong), or am I stuck with calling A 'he' all the way through until he finally does get his memory back? Because I can't call him A if he doesn't know he's A, can I?

And does this make any sense at all? No? Fair enough. ;)

It's a Wild Wild West story (the tv series, not the icky movie).

Oooo...I always wanted to see that series. I suspect I would really enjoy it.

Only if you like shows where the main character wears unfeasibly tight pants, gets tied up a lot and only has an emotional attachment to his (male) partner and I can't imagine there are many people who like that sort of thing... ;)

Well, season 1 finally came out on dvd this year, so I dare say it's out there on Netflix or something... ;)
