* AdaptationExpansion - Oh so much. Namesake was based on an unfinished series of comics (called the "Oziad") posted on the artist's live journalThe Oziad was parody of The Wizard of Oz, featuring as main characters dopplegangers of the author and and her friends, as well as the main characters of ''{{Slayers}}.'' In Namesake, the Oz story is now one part of a journey through a much larger fairytale multiverse; the cast and scope of the story are greatly expanded; original characters have replaced those based on real people and copyrighted characters; and the tone of the story is more serious, instead of parodic.

** Subverted with [[spoiler: Hercilia, former Wicked Witch of the East. Selva turned her into a pair of magic shoes, and yet she's quite mouthy.]]


Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulName - Not surprising, given the comic's title. Several main characters share the same name as well known fairy tale protagonists. Subverted with Hercilia: her name means "Tender; delicate." She is anything but.
