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.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
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.

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!

Thrive to spite them
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?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Check ff.net. God knows that seems like the most likely place.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Pretty 'Frike' picture!
And, damn, Fred looks like Dru. I could totally see Spike going for her, actually.
