* WriteWhoYouHate: Creator/DavidDrake sometimes included various detestable characters named Platt in his novels. (There are two in the ''Literature/{{RCN}}'' series alone, a SpoiledBrat and a child molester.) These are named after a critic named Charles Platt who unfavorably reviewed ''Literature/HammersSlammers'' with a line that if Drake had ever served in the military, he wouldn't write "such queasy voyeurism". Drake, who served in Vietnam as a US Army interrogator attached to the 11th Armored Cavalry and started writing MilitaryScienceFiction as self-therapy, [[https://david-drake.com/2010/platt/ took this remark rather personally]]; the best any character named Platt can hope for in his works is to be merely stupid.
