ArchivesWhat should we call these?
in reply to a message by Miss Claire
In certain fandoms of fanfiction, misspellings of canon characters' names are called a specific name. For example, in The Lord of the Rings they're "mini Balrogs", while in Harry Potter they're "mini Aragogs". (Note that "mini" is sometimes dropped.)
So, what should we call a Pope's misspelled name? *Tries to think of something suitably pope-y, but fails*

"Mini antipope"?
There have been antipopes in the past; the dictionary definition is "A person claiming to be or elected pope in opposition to the one chosen by church law, as during a schism."
I'm slapping myself for not thinking of "antipope" myself. Thanks for the inspiration! :-D
*Pets mini antipopes Bebedict and Benadict* Aren't they cute?
