Introducing the Amazing Fanfic Mutator!

wisteria_ and the following discussion about the Random Pairing Generator gave me an idea that was just too silly not to implement: The Amazing Fanfic Mutator. You point it at a story on the web, and it'll change the character names in it! Xander/Spike turns into Lorne/Skip, or Lindsey/Gunn! Buffy/Faith turns into Glory/Fred or Joyce/Rona! Xena/Gabby becomes Alti/Ephiny! You will never have to be bored again!
The Mutator uses the same character database as the Pairing Generator, although it disregards all names with spaces in them (which, unfortunately, is almost the entire West Wing cast), so fic in any fandom mentioned there should work to some degree. The fandoms are listed on the Mutator page, so you don't have to look at the Pairing Generator to find out what they are.
The Mutator knows how to handle HTML and plain text. Pointing it at anything else (PDF, Word documents, morse code) will only result in an error message.
The Mutator adds a banner to the top of the result page saying that it has been modified, by what and where the original can be found. Just in case.
Feel free to pimp this as widely as you see fit. Comments, suggestions and bug reports are very welcome!
