*nods* I agree completely. I always used to be good with tenses, and then came SV fandom. You know how each fandom seems to have a particular style that most fics are written in? A certain flavour to the fics, if you will. SV style is definitely close/limited third person POV, present tense.
The number of SV fics that are along the lines of "Lex walks around the room, running his hand along the cue stick as he considers his next shot..." (for example) are mindboggling.
After being in that fandom for... well, 2-3 years now, present tense keeps attacking. You're right. It's truly Eeeeeevil!
