Yesterday I clarified a name in Trek that someone had confused for another series. Then this morning I explained the difference between Noonian Soong and Noonien Singh - but this point of confusion is actually an excellent reminder to fellow fiction writers:

Roddenberry named two characters after the same man he'd known in WWII.

Writers! Mix up your influences!

You never know if your work is going to become so famous that the character confusion will come back to bite you! 😅
