Though not on this thread (up until this very blessed moment), I want to be on your cabinet! I think I would make a great addition to your world domination based on my sheer awesomeness and the fact that I hate being in charge so I won't constantly be trying to over-throw you and gain power myself. Please consider my submission.

With admiration and devotion and other flatteries,

I guess you can be the Queen of big fat suck-ups.

Oh that sounds perfect! Thank you. You're so wonderful (o:

So, I'm in the cabinet, and you're on the cabinet?

The cabinets in my place probably aren't strong enough to hold us all.

It's not that I don't like Crush, it's that where I live, sea turtles usually don't live to be 150 years old.

I was just giving you a reason as to why you would be the jester of this thread.

Where do you live? Sea Turtles live to be reallllllly old.

Florida, and they only live to be 60-80 yrs old here.

ANYWAY . . .

I mostly use this 'nym, I have an alternate one which is abundantly obvious, but I use it to answer questions I deem a bit silly for my regular pseudonym (unlike some people, I don't conjure up different personalities for them . . . I'm just me . . .). Laser Jock once dubbed me one which I liked, and have used a few times. I have one that is more associated with my email address, etc., which I used wayyy back but not since. Especially since one question/answer . . .I think that one is not being used any more.

Sometimes I sign them randomly. If I'm answering, and I want to be anonymous (rare, but happens), or if I just don't feel like attaching my "name" to asking a question (more frequent).

Hmm . . . I didn't actually tell you any of mine . . .

Oh well, it's easy enough.

I have never been able to decide on a nym.

Previous names include, but are not limited to:

Hungry Hungry Hippos
Banana Queen
Leprechaun Protector

Most of the time I relate it to the question matter

I like what I have read from HHH.

New question: if you, as a reader, became a writer, would you change your 'nym?

I would, I would come up with something amazing! Maybe something to do with my major (no wait, I would have to declare a major first...)

I shall then look out for undeclared major in the future.


As for me, I would probably change my nym, or alter it again.

Definitely change. Bob is a good name, but I need a new one.

I wouldn't change. I like my nym too much. But I am an alumni, not a student, so I can never be a writer now. (Not that alumni can't write, just that they can't be accepted as new writers.)

I would keep the same 'nym. I like it.

I would change mine. My current alias is too close to a current writers' alias, so there could be confusion.

We actually asked another writer not to use her reader alias for that reason. (I don't know if she was going to, but there would have been too much confusion between her and another writer.)

I didn't. People knew me as "Portia" for a good 7 months before I started to write.
