That is so true. I see it happening a lot. I think that's how all these tiresome 'rape' backstories along with the others, come from this snowballing. It's hard to replace a character in your head with the one you read so often. Which is why Percy is so easy to write, because it's easier to write what we read in fandom than what we read in the books.
