Is it wrong that I find it amusing to be mistaken for a Guardian-reader or Guns’n’Roses fan? Yes. Very wrong. It’s also wrong that I’d be amused to learn that someone thought I was serious about the title Gweel & Other Alterities. Serious about the Alterities bit, I mean. “Alterity” is a word used by, well, I’d better not describe them. But one example is China Miéville. ’Nuff said. And here he uses the word with exactly the phrase I’d’ve hoped he’d use it with:

“I’m not interested in fantasy or SF as utopian blueprints, that’s a disastrous idea. There’s some kind of link in terms of alterity.” — “A life in writing: China Miéville”, The Guardian, 14v11
