When I first got on the internet -- and soon after first found the L&C mbs on the the aol abc site, I used a name that seemed real, but was not my real name. I still use 'Alicia' as a pen name because I don't want anyone who does a google search of my name to find out I write fanfic . . . although I recently realized that they'd find out if they searched my email address.
I changed my name on the boards and IRC because I was sick of talking to people calling me Alicia -- when my name wasn't Alicia. There is a whole post somewhere about why I did it.
Now I have (temporarily?) changed my IRC nick to Yellow Dart. Because, well, it's just a cool nickname!
- Laura "the Yellow Dart" "Alicia" U.
