** the seven are usually portrayed as a tight knit found family when in reality they are more like co workers.
** Jason and Percy aren't that close as some would like to believe. While they are friends they aren't bros

* Many ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fans complained when later books established that Vetinari went to the Assassins' Guild school, when previous books had established he'd ''invented'' the modern, legal Assassins' Guild. They hadn't, although they ''did'' establish he'd ''legalized'' the ''Thieves'' Guild. A continuity problem is that the first Guild master introduced in the series, in fact in the very first book, is the distinctly shabby, low-life and down-at-heel Zlorf Flanellfoot, who leads a band of equally gutter-level killers. This character is totally against the evolving perception of the Assassins' Guild being a college for gentlemen of good family, which reaches its most detailed description in ''Literature/{{Pyramids}}''. And the events of Literature/NightWatchDiscworld occurring thirty years before the Discworld "present" clash badly with the Flanellfoot-era Guild (which must be in the same timeband): here we see the college for gentlemen killers with an entirely different President, the urbane and well-bred Dr Follett. So... which of two entirely different perceptions of the Guild is "right"?

*** Also, Garrid's mother was born a human, but his father turned her into a vampire when they argued. Bit of a nasty shock for her...

** Fans believe that Nico has Roman Blood in him, because he was able to find Camp Jupiter without help and was born to an Italian mother. It is implied, however, that his dad may have guided him.
*** Some think he may even have Egyptian blood, due to him looking like Anubis. A few have even written him as his host (later crossover stories would seem to Joss this, as it's stated that Greek and Egyptian magic really don't mix, and [[spoiler:Percy hosting Nekhbet]] is a pretty much one-time thing, though it's not conclusive).

Added DiffLines:

** Fans often call Snufkin and the Joxter's species "Mumriks", due to Snufkin's Swedish name, "Snusmumriken". Canonically, their species is never mentioned aside from a mention of "Snufkins" in the first book, ''Moomins and the Great Flood'', but a lot of fans don't consider said book canon due to its large amount of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness.
