'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My main email and my LJ ID are the name of a character I created for Star Wars fanfic 30 years ago (or more? I don't want to count it up). In other places, it's my real name (as here), or initials and my real last name.
My passwords are all characters from fanfics few people have read, so I think they're safe.
I used my real name on Prodigy (informally - my username was aqjn24a or something like that), and then picked up Persephonemoon for a pagan listserv way back when and also on TT. I went back to my real name on WX. Most places that aren't here I go by Alterjess.
Other than my real name and occasionally just s, sarameg is what I've always been online.
Work gaslit all of us today. It was surreal.
My cats are strewn about like discarded dust rags. And it isn't that warm. If only they'd use their powers for good and you know, dust?
I have had many, many handles. Here, anyway. Other places I use aimeejmc (livejournal) and TheEmpressAimee (that one is only for HP fanfic sites).
I'm still using the only handle I've ever had for posting boards. other than my initials and last name for my email.
When I first went online, Salon was supercrazy about you using your real name. I gradually adopted an internet personality. I'm only vortex here, but sowilo (or some variation thereof) everywhere else.
not surprisingly, I have (and continue to have) a whole lot of nicknames on the internet.
petergabrielfan was one of my earliest. I also was naïvemelody, loveslaughter. all of those have been abandoned, but I continue to use about 3 others in addition to "le nubian" on various places including twitter!

Is "sowilo" a Buffy reference?
You know, I had "le nubian" over on Salon. When were they crazy about real names?
Definitely when I registered, they asked for first and last names, and it didn't occur to me not to use my real name, although I don't think there was any reason not to, really. I went back in and changed it to my initial at some point.
