How did you choose your pseudonym?

[CreamyLady]

Flashman was originally (before Fraser's very funny books) the school bully in Tom Brown's School Days.

Fraser's antihero is actually a Lothario of some talent, so maybe Flashy is impressive in that way, or hopes we will think so. I'm certainly not queueing up for a demonstration.

 

[Tawny T]

Don't ask where the Tawny came from. I'm a strawberry blonde. It just sounded sexy, and went well with T for Tina.

I just thought is sounded good for an writer of erotica. No one but my husband and Lady Love know I write it.

Tawny T, has a certain ring to it. Besides I love alliteration, or had anyone ever noticed from my story titles?

 

[Sonia_de_Beaumanoir]

Andra_Jenny

Until I saw your post, I had no idea that your name meant androgyny. That's very clever.

Amicalement

[His Whimsicality]

I was seraching for a single word to describe my personality and 'whimsical' fits rather well, I think. Add to that a little of my megalomania *g* in the form of an allusion to Her Majesty, and voila, you´ve got His Whimsicality.

 

[Original Playgirl]

nicknames

How did I choose mine?...well..I like to think I'm original!!...and I'm CERTAINLY a playgirl...or so my friends say!!

Re: the OTHER problem

While such screen names as Siobhan O'Dildo, Colleen O'Moisture, Kathleen O'Sixtynine, and Kerrie O'Keefe may slightly raise a pole in your tent, they ultimately fail in their inability to deliver. The reader is left hanging, precariously, between abject boredom and plunging deeper into the excessively used and ohh-so-limited sexual recesses of the female psyche. As if preparing for some climatic event, the males drool copiously only to be, yet again, shut down as the female author rips off yet another term from ancient prose such as "...and the two became one..." Face it. Most women "just don't get it" about erotic literature. They start off great, yes, but usually stumble, fumble, and fail. Most women would rather buy shoes so that other women can't have them, than accurately describe the magic between women and men. I rest my case, Your Honor.

You poor lil baby. Awful thing when you can't read porn you like. Try the gay male section, I'm sure you'll adore that. No one has written ...and the two became one..."

Oh, sugarplum, be sure of your facts before you go off and do something stupid like run off at the mouth and prove how empty your head truly is. Try reading the stories first? Wow. You may also want to pay attention to the categories the stories are in? Yeah, that's how you can decide what to read. Chances are that hot studs like you whose only date is with Rosie palm and her five sisters won't like what's in the romance category.

I admit that I've written some tripe. I'll also admit that I haven't written tripe. I don't think Tango would ever say "...and the two became one..." unless she was referring to the slide and the frame.

HA HA! I'm laughing so hard my gut hurts! Muffin, you ARE the best.

 

[Shale]

Pseudonyms

Well, I was thinking about this in the grocery store, about how people choose their "undercover" names. I always want to change mine, too. Any good stories about name-picking? I was playing the game "Myst," and thought it sounded nice and feminine, only to have my other half call it a good porn name... which I really wasn't trying to do.... but hey, it works for me. I REALLY want to know how some of you wonderfully witty authors picked your names...

My pseudonym "Shale" is a self-referential character in an earlier period piece of the '70s. Shale Sandstone was the adventurous character and I actually called myself that in the '70s. I was the more responsible person in the crash pad or commune, the one who made sure there was food and toilet paper and the dishes eventually got washed. I was a rock, but one that would crumble under pressure. When I logged on here it was the first thing I could think of when asked for a board name. It probably is as real as any name I have as I chose it myself.

 

[Dartagnan]

When I look into myself, I see the mix of the pirate and the gentleman. A rogue with good taste and definately a desire for talking to beautiful women. Having read Dumas many times in my life, I felt his character of D'Artagnan, the Musketeer, the warrior, the gentleman, was someone I would love to be in Old Literature. It fits the main character in my stories so well.

 

[vgrey]

I picked mine because I wanted it to be short and as vague as possible giving no hint of gender, race, or sexual preference etc. The idea was to pick a name that would not leave any impression on the reader. I would prefer to have my stories leave the impression rather than the non de plume that I publish them under.

[Royal_Prince]

well taken my last name is prince.... adding a first name royal made sense.

 

[Lynn]

Somewhat Boring

I guess in the general scheme of things, my pseudonym story is dull. I chose the name Lynn because that is my Real Name.

Ok wait, to spice it up some, lets see...I use Lynn (as I said my real name) here, but in the other world I take part in, the non-sexy one, I use another pseudonym altogether different, and I am not telling you what that one is.

Ha, so there, beat that one! My pseudonym here is nothing special, but the one I use when I am not here is cooler and far more out there.

Besides- "Mystery and Mystique" is too long a name to use.

 

[LittleP]

pseudonym

My last name starts with 'P', and lots of people who know me also know my older brother. Thus, to them, I am 'Little P'. I've had lots of other nicknames in my short life, but I figured LittleP fit best here, especially since it's so easy to make fun of. Take your shots now!

 

[emmakaufmann]

pen name

When I started publishing erotic novels I thought of an image of an erotic author: a raven haired south american beauty riding bareback on a white stallion and the name TANIA PICARDA came to me!

 

[SpectreT]

Pseudonym

Well, my first name is Tom, hence the "T". "Spectre" is descriptive of my personality. I'm just sort of... there, but for all that I'm present, you'd never notice.

P.S. I'm multilingual also. I speak English and American fluently, and can muddle along in Canadian most of the time. Australian is a language I'm still working on.

Very funny! I suppose i'm multi-lingual, then, too.


I took my name from a temperate zone orchid, cymbidium, that not only survives but thrives under conditions that would kill or maim more delicate orchid species. I've had this name in online places for years and chose it long before i thought anyone would ever read my scribbled little stories. Maybe they still won't. ~grin~

[Spartacus]

Very few - one other - even know I write erotic stories. Lets just say I'm in a politically sensitive position. So, of course I had to use something that couldn't in any way identify me.

The drummer in the movie "That Thing You Do" quoted from Spartacus and it struck me as a cool yet mysterious name.

 

[Moriah]

pseudonym

Mine was easy. My son's have seen some of things I've written (Not of an erotic nature. At least, I hope they haven't. God Forbid!) They said I tend to get a bit wordy at times. Wordy is the same as being windy. Moria means the wind. I wanted to personalize it, so I unknowingly tacked the H on the end.

After I did this, I learned that Moriah is Hebrew for God teaches. What a shock this was. One, I'm an agnostic. And two, I had also managed to change my heritage from Greek to Jewish, "Und vith-out benefit of a bar mitzvah, even. Oy Vey!"

Hope I didn't just unpolitically step on anyone's toes with that last line. If I did, you have my appology. But just remember, if we can't laught at ourselves, then we have no business laughing at anyone else. Agreed?

 

[BrownCuriousity]

my name

Well I've been bi curious for a little bit. and im a writer. after coming to this site and reading the great stories it was only a matter of time before i put my own fantasies on phosphorous. So i just started writing and submitting. I dont see a great deal of distinctive black female characters here, so i decided to always make my characters reflective of me and my experiences since my writings are and will always be about my experiences and fantasies. So Im Brown...and Im Curious...but ill be writing more than girl on girl stories also, because i just like exploring sexuality in general...hence my curiousity.

 

[BadForm]

The Name Game

1) Although I despise the various abuses taking part in reality, I am not averse to them in fiction. Nonconsent etc may be a part of some of the fiction I write.

2) I am originally English, lower class.

3) "Oh I say! Bad Form!" is a stereotypically upper class English way of saying "That's not right, you shouldn't do that."

4) Put it all together, and you can understand my name.

 

[Sateema Lunasi]

hehe

I am not creative enough to come up with a pseudonym. I had a couple and I have stories on Literotica under those names:

Lily Saint Claire- I like the name Lily and put it in many of my stories and poems, so I named myself that for a while.

Maralily- Named myself after a friend's cat.

Sateema Lunasi- It is my real first and middle name. It doesn't mean anything and contorary to popular belief, it is not Indian. My mom was a weirdo and she made it up.

 

[Bob Peale]

Mine got chosen for me. One day, I called a client and left a message with his secretary for him to call me. Somehow, from my first name, she got Bob Peale (with, aside from being wrong, is at the other end of the Alphabet!)

My coworkers thought it was hysterical, especially because my given name isn't one the lends itself to being shortened, and I've been Bob ever since.

So much so that there are people who don't even know my given name!

 

[batter]

i got mine by combining my name with my wifes and our friend that i wrote about..used a kind of acronymn i guess.. just lucky it turned out that way.

 

[p_p_man]

Mine was a mistake. It should have been pervman. Damn computers!!!!

 

[SeanValen]

Beautiful Myst writ Well, I was thinking about this in the grocery store, about how people choose their "undercover" names. I always want to change mine, too. Any good stories about name-picking? I was playing the game "Myst," and thought it sounded nice and feminine, only to have my other half call it a good porn name... which I really wasn't trying to do.... but hey, it works for me. I REALLY want to know how some of you wonderfully witty authors picked your names...

II was wondering what made you choose your name after reading your stories, and now you did a topic on it, which is beautiful fate answering me, thank you for this topic, and I really like the name Myst.


My real name is Sean Eden, but changed Eden to middle name, and made Valen my last name. So in full its Sean Eden Valen, but I prefer Sean Valen.

I got the name Valen back in 1990, it was September, very close to my birthday, which is on the 7th, and I was having a dream, and a woman's voice was calling me, like a Siren in the ocean, but I was in the clouds, and these women were calling me Valen, "Come to me" they said, it really felt special, and I loved the name, and I have chosen to use it ever since. Fate and Destiny play a special part in many things I have done in life so far.....A beautiful example of this, is me being so interested in your stories Myst, and thats why I am here writing in this forum, and its wonderful to know your imagination and I thank you for that, along with the other authors who I am getting to know.

I give you a beautiful red rose Myst in dedication to your wonderful imagination.
