I especially liked the references to Pansy O'Hara & Connie Gustafson. Huge differences.
Not only does this hint at the power of good naming (I spend a lot of time on names) but it also serves to show how some legendary authors failed in their original concepts & revised to greater effect.
Nice link.

Count Wampyr is terrible. Detective Sherrington and his sideklick Ormond Sacker? Yikes.
