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!

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.

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?)

Oh -- that's really pretty!

I went out to dinner with my friend D and I ended up telling her about fanfiction, she knows that I'm really into tv shows and such and she thought the idea of fanfiction was really cool. I kind of left out the parts about slash and NC-17 ratings when I was talking about it though because I was giving her the 10 minute recap of fandom in general.

The first thing she asked was "Is there Seinfeld fanfic?" It's her favorite show, it's probably the only show she watches reruns regularly for...so, uh, does anyone know if there is such a thing?

Check ff.net. God knows that seems like the most likely place.

Pretty 'Frike' picture!

And, damn, Fred looks like Dru. I could totally see Spike going for her, actually.
