I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Wyndam-Pryce
(Damn it, if people can get cranky about Conner, I'm gonna get cranky about this from time to time. There's one person exempt from this in the whole world, because it pains her to leave out the H, so she's good. Other than that, there is no "hi" in Wyndam-Pryce.)

Art Crawl!!!
Sorry -- I just repeated what was in the thesis.
Obviously the Watcher's Council's thesis readers aren't as picky about such things as the thesis reader's at my university were.

Oh, half the really really good writers do it, too. It drives me bonkers, but I deal.
It's just funny that people get really up in arms about other names, but then do the same about this one.

Plei, I always want to go back in time and retroactively change it to Wyndham or Windham, because the H-lessness bugs me. That said, fanficcers ought to follow canon spellings, even when they look stupid. IJS.

Well, Conner is easy to spot because it's wrong wrong wrong. Wyndham, however, is a pretty common spelling so it doesn't grab the eye the same way.
But I'll join you in your campaign to stamp out false Wyndams.

Mwahahha!
It doesn't bother me all that much, and I fully understand the H urge.
But thanks!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
One of the tiny Buffista shoutouts in my novel is the fact that the heroine's uncle and aunt are Lord and Lady Windham. I just couldn't bring myself to spell it Wyndam.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
There's also "frike". (I possibly remember reading Vrya saying she'd made this one nearly solely because she was so enchanted with the pairing name, as well?)
