I came across a really promising new Spuffy story on FanFiction.net called My Best Enemy by Respice finem excors It deserves a peek. I thought it deserves to be read and encourage the writer to keep on writing it. I checked and their not a member of E.F.

Since I'm stuck home on bed-rest, there might be some more soon. But no promises because I'm not feeling so great.

Another shout-out for Origins; it's my go-to comfort fic. I'm pretty sure I've read it through at least 10 times. Sometimes I just click on a random link & start reading. I wouldn't mind if there was more of that 'verse to come, she said coyly.

Before Joss gave us Pratt, the most common fanfic surnames for William were Sutton or Bennett.

I'm especially living Giles' revelation on the plan home to Sunnydale.

If you go another family line, Pratt is the surname of the Marquis of Camden. Not a bad family tree at all.

Thank you, Blade.

And been reading Origins since it was mentioned via chat. On 'chapter 2' if one goes by the links only. S'really good so far. Should be proud, Niamh.

Well, if he needs a last name I suppose using one that's cannon/noncannon is better than making one up. It is for me, anyway.

Keep reading about the Pratt family. If you go the Karloff line his familly were all high ranking diplomats and one of his relations was Anna Leonowens who taught the children of the King of Siam.

No sorry I'm wrong, Boris Karloff played Frankenstein's monster.

I thought I read somewhere that Joss had named him William Pratt because it was the real name of Boris Karloff who, I believe, played Dracula. Don't know if it's true.

William's surname is originally given as "Pratt" in the non-canon comic Old Times. As far as I know that is the only source for all the fanfic giving it as Spike's surname. I don't think Joss ever confirmed this, although he once made a dismissive joke about it. I don't like it and don't use it.

I totally agree with you blade. It's good to have some research and self reflection and what not, that's what makes a story, but if that's all there is....

And thank you. I'm glad anyone still reads my stories.

Spike's last name never bothered me... I love William as a first name though.

OMG!! I'm actually rereading Origins right now!! I adore your stories and you're just an awesome writer!!! Where's the best place to search for info on the names?
August 22, 2014 09:53pm

Niamh
Pratt isn't a bad last name, especially if you do the research on it.
August 22, 2014 09:46pm

MrsTattooedButterfly
Oh, was wondering if there was anyone brave enough to be willing to do some idea bouncing around with me, course it'll mean getting way more than spoiler's, needs to start searching for a beta while I'm at it, would love it if I could be lucky enough to have the same person for both! O:)!!!

Blade Redwind
You know.... sometimes a 50-chapter fic that has most of the characters going through research that isn't helpful at all really could be a 20 chapter fic...

MrsTattooedButterfly
Just like how I don't like the use of "Pratt" as Spike's factual last name cause 1- he uses it as an insult an awful lot and 2- I just flat out don't like it, refuses to use it and kinda wants to whack whoever's thought it up upside the head! I'm just twisted like that ;)!!
August 22, 2014 08:30pm

MrsTattooedButterfly
Yeah, it's Buffy not Elizabeth, Buffy Anne Summers to be precise. Gets really irked when "Elizabeth" is used! Kinda gets it having to be a nickname for the Historical/Time Travel fics.

Speaking of names, don't forget to type in the ones of those you want to nominate for the September members of the month. Voting closes Monday.

@RoseL Wonder and Ashes's two oneshots, 'A Different Kind of Love' & 'The Littlest Summers' both tackle a season 5 without Riley.
