Ha, well, in my defense, my preference for H/Hr has next to nothing to do with my opinion of the epilogue. It just read like really bad fanfic to me. It seriously tripped me up because I think she is an excellent writer. She just went waaaaay too far with the names.
I'm the same way with fanfic I read from other fandoms too. I don't read many with babies in them, but (I'll use Bones as an example because of your icon) if I came across one that I was moderately enjoying and then bam!...they have a baby girl named Miley. I would be x-ing out of the page so fast. I mean, yeah there are definitely worse names out there, but there's no way someone as intelligent and sophisticated as Brennan would have a daughter with that name. That was just a completely random example, but you catch my drift!
