Where I tend to find the most trouble is in writing slash. This is something that even after all the years I've been doing it, I still stumble over the issue of pronoun confusion. I think it's my weakest area (which is a shame since it's my favorite topic ;-). I think the next time I start a scene that's going to be problematic, I'll write it 'straight' with names and appropriate pronouns without worrying over reader confusion or boredom (in the first draft, that is). That might make it easier for me to dissect where any deeper issues lie.
I love discussions like this. It gets me thinking and digging into the details that I might otherwise try to gloss over. Inevitably, I wind up improving my writing as a result.
