OMG, I'm not allowed to do that anymore.

So, um. I'm working on my Nano. And my main character's name is Fastred*. He's one of the two illegitimate royal children in my story.

And I just, after 2200 words, made a typo I really must not make again.

Because if I get two letters mixed up...

Fasterd.

The bastard.

*DIES DED*

*attempts to stop hysterical laughter*


*Germanic name comprised of the elements "fast" firm and "rad" counsel. That "rad" is where Aethelred the Unready comes from!

*cracks up* That is fabulous.

You could have that be a mocking nickname the people give him!

HAHAHA, that would be awful! XD Poor Fastred. I just started and he hates me already.

lol. I had the exact same thought.

Me too! *sing-songs* Fasterd the Bastard! Oh, the possibilities. ;)

AHAHAHA, he's going to kill me in my SLEEP XD On the other hand, I'm amused enough that I really like this story so far!

I might just have to do it, then! ^_^

Just don't mix up the 'r' and the 's', and then leave out the 's'!   o.O

Yeah, seriously. I mean, I like the name, but man, it has way too many ways to go wrong!
