Personally, if elsewhere I ran into a character named Falk, I wouldn't even make a connection to HinaBN.
no subject
You really think Falk is a special name for a character, have you never been to DeviantArt before? Yeah, I really doubt HINABN would be the first thing that springs to peoples mind.

But seriously, if THIS is worth losing your shit over then I don't care if you never join HINABN fandom. You seem kind of... unstable.

(Anonymous) 2010-03-08 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)Also, now every time I see that acronym my brain pronounces it "Hinnabin" and then my brain goes "CINNABUN!" and those are delicious which is helping me get over it.
God I hate how my brain works.
Re: OP
I'm glad you're going to give it a try, though. I'm pretty sure no one would think the character name similarities are a reference. I'm a huge HiNaBN fan, and I wouldn't even make the connection. If I did, it would be more of a "Oh, haha, Falk. I've been hearing that name more and more since I started reading HiNaBN. It's a great name. People should use it more."
no subject
And I do the Hinnabun thing too. Yum.
(grarr I'm hungry)

It's pretty irrational to hate it without ever reading it just based on your chracter sharing the same name, and obviously you know that. For what its worth, I doubt people will ever think you're doing a reference to this comic. Well, maybe only the die hard fans will think that, lol. Put a fake FAQ question on your novel site specifically stating that it's not a name reference if it bothers you that much. :)
no subject
But seriously, the comic's pretty good~
this reminds me, I need HINABN icons
But yeah give it a chance, it's a great comic.
no subject
(Anonymous) 2010-03-09 01:39 am (UTC)(link)But I'm just angry because when I first found out about it I was like "Oh man this comic is great and the author totally connects with her fans and this is going to be an awesome, decent-yet-manageable-sized fandom and we will be a happy family and yaaay!"
And within a week it was HINABN EVERYWHERE AMAGAW EVERYONE LOOK READ IT F;LKGF;DLGK and I have that pretentious hipster hate-it-because-it's-popular reflex.
no subject
although, when I see it, I don't think of Hanna, I think of my high school chemistry teacher. I didn't even immediately realize the connection between that and Hinabn until I thought about it.
"...how are those two things related? ...is there a character I don't know about with the name...? ....is this someone's last name...? ......OH YEAH!!"
seriously, I can't even recall when he was actually called that. I mean, I don't read it religiously or anything, but I think you'll be A-OKAY.
no subject
Nah, I know the feeling. I've got a character named "Wendell" because his original name of "Wayne" was used by a similar-looking character in a very popular flash cartoon, and I was worried about the associations. But really, I could probably change it back, and hardly anyone would notice. It's not such a big D, and while Falk isn't that common a name, it's not so bizarre that people will automatically thing of HiNaBN. Especially since, y'know, that name doesn't get used all that often.
It's a great comic, oodles of fun, and seriously some of the best art/design/layout/lettering I've ever seen. The artist has such a great eye for the whole thing.
