during the story Pete becomes Greg, and not just because Nolan is referring him to that name. It's mostly a pov thing. Nolan sees House primarily as the patient whom he used to call 'Greg', so he continues doing so. Cuddy prefers to forget the past, so she calls House 'Pete', while Wilson would like to rejuvenate it, so he calls him 'House'. I don't have Wilson and Cuddy thinking of themselves as 'James' or 'Lisa' because IMO that alienates the reader, who is used to referring to them by their last names: House is the exception to that rule because of his amnesia. There's no way he could have thought of himself as 'House' in The Kelpie.
I've never soured milk. Neither have I, but the 'net tells me that it's the best way to do it.
I'm going to go back and read the whole series, because this is just that good. Thank you! People re-reading my stories is the best compliment I can get.
