Spell My Name with a "The": Difference between revisions

Line 73:

* Comedic example: ''[[Alternative Gods]]'' has "The [[Plain Name|Matt]]."

* When the chaos spell from that Halloween turns Buffy Summers into a Time Lady in ''[https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-21501/Doctorsgirl+Tick+Tock+One+little+clock.htm Tick, Tock, One Little Clock...]'' by "Doctorsgirl", a ''[[Doctor Who]]''/''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' [[Crossover Fic]], she chooses to simply go by the name "The Slayer".

* ~~Inverted~~ in ~~the~~ ~~first~~ ~~chapter of~~ the ''[[~~Drunkard's~~ ~~Walk~~]]'' ~~story~~ ~~"Harry~~ ~~Potter~~ ~~and~~ ~~the Man From Otherearth~~":

* Two instances are found in the ''[[Worm]]/[[Luna Varga]]'' crossover ''[[Taylor Varga]]'' by "mp3.1415player":

** Inconsistently applied to the Varga. He is officially "The Varga" and not just "Varga" (there are hints that it may actually be the name of his species, of which [[Last of His Kind|he is the last]]), but the better someone gets to know him, the more likely they'll start using "Varga" as a name and not like a title.

{{quote|Charlie's gaze tracked over to Harry and he nodded with a lopsided grin. "And this," he said, turning back to Doug, "is the famous Harry."

** Done semi-jokingly with Amy "Panacea" Dallon -- while when discussing the possibility of shifting from [[The Medic]] to a more active crime-fighter (not to mention the identity who will later be called "Ianthe"), Taylor suggests that she rebrand herself as "The Amy" so as to strike fear into criminals because she helped stop a mugging. It becomes something of a short-lived [[Running Gag]] among their friends at Arcadia, and Taylor and Lisa trot it out every so often for quite while after; Amy herself eventually embraces the joke.

"Not ''the'' Harry?" Doug asked with a slightly conspiratorial wink.

''What an odd reaction'', Hermione thought absently, but it apparently to be the right one as far as Harry was concerned. She had felt him stiffen at Charlie's introduction, but when Doug seemed to make a joke of it he relaxed to a degree she'd never seen before around someone new.

"No, just ''a'' Harry," Harry replied with a delighted smile that, to Hermione's bafflement, was completely at odds with his recent sulky mood.

"Oh, well, then, that's better. I'm glad we got that straightened out," Doug said.}}

* In the ''[[Worm]]/[[Luna Varga]]'' crossover ''[[Taylor Varga]]'' by "mp3.1415player", Amy "Panacea" Dallon gets saddled with the joking [[Sobriquet]] "The Amy" when discussing the possibility of shifting from [[The Medic]] to a more active crime-fighter. It becomes a [[Running Gag]] among her friends (and her sister) and she eventually embraces the joke.
