The Dirty Energy Source

Do you want to make a spreadsheet about spreadsheets?
Do you still need to figure out what two other fandoms you should request beside the only one you really want fic for?
Or are you trolling ALL the letter posts for placeholders, just so you can write those people some nice, dry coal?

We want to know all about it.

Well, it was the kind of misspelling that changes the pronunciation of the character's name, which is what makes me think that the requester didn't care about the character. Think the Jaime-->Jamie mix-up that happens in Blue Beetle fandom all the time; it's the sort of thing you generally only mix up if you don't know how to pronounce Jaime. (Not that it's a big deal in the grand scheme of things if random Yuletide participant A doesn't care about my favourite character, it was just a bummer.)

Point definitely taken about the brainfart, though. And having tried to listen to an audiobook of Ancillary Justice, I know what you mean about having to remember to check spellings.
