Pet Peeves: Please Spell Your Character's Name Correctly
One of mine is fan fiction that includes the misspelling of a character's name. This really bugs me.
So, in the interest of ... pet peeves .... I took a few minutes to make a list of the correct way to spell Btvs/Ats characters' names. (Yes, I know there are sources I could link instead but I was motivated.)
