How did you choose your avatar and username?

[SkyBubble]

Hikaru in honor of Genji Hikaru, the original Mary Sue (an MC who is hilariously perfect and unlikeable).

I was wondering if it was a tribute to Hikaru Sulu of Star Trek fame.

"John" is meaningless and generic like "John Doe". "Vandermeer" is not my last name either, but it does say a couple of true things about me. My avatar is simply a reflection I am burdened with a heavier load of fetishes than the titan Atlas. Feet, legs, heels and jeans fetishes among them. It thus makes a good "portrait" of any one of my FMCs about to unleash a teasing and humiliation foot attack on any one of my soon to be overwhelmed MMCs.

And you landed on the name of the only pitcher to throw two consecutive no-hitters.

 

[SkyBubble]

My Lit name, which I also use on other sites, is the name of my favorite horse to ride when I was a boy at summer camp. The avatar may or may not be real.

but it wouldn't be there anymore if I could change it.

Why did you want to change it? I wanted tell you how much I like it and to ask if it was really you. I came here to check, and it is really you. I think it's just great.

Edit: Also, how do I find the one "on the main page?" It's the same one in an author search on the story side.

Well, I did end up changing it back when we had the mass loss of the icons. So, it changed it retroactively everywhere. It's a models eye now.

I finally added an avatar around the great white out because they stopped showing my default green circle with an I in it, which I always kind of liked. I wanted something easy, so I grabbed a picture of a cat sitting in my lap. It turned out to be too dark in the small scale and cropped, but I don't care enough to fix it.

 

[MillieDynamite]

All you needed to do was upload your old avatar again.

[Off_base]

I grew up a military kid, so getting to do things off base was a big deal. Since the phrase also can mean that I'm "missing the point", I like the word play of it. My avatar is a free internet image, the silhouette of a girl with an umbrella in the rain, who appears to be celebrating it. I can relate.

It.s not one I had, they had generated it for me. I as in iwatchus

About the same time the whiteout happed they stopped showing the default avatars next to posts

 

[ADirtyPerv]

My avatar is a screenshot of Lieutenant Columbo that got really weirdly corrupted. I thought it was fascinating. Also, I'm a perv.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Oh, you could make your own then.

Oh, before I leave, I almost forgot, just one more question. Let me see, where did I put that question? No, not there, not here, not... Well, I'll be back.

It's a models eye now.

Rats. Does it look like you? I can't remember the original.

 

[MillieDynamite]

No, it has an almond eye, and the model is much prettier than I am.

Yeah it turned out to match my writing style. There's always one more thing to talk about before the penetration. Or during. My last one was full of simultaneous penetration and rambling.

 

[AG31]

Well, I'll continue to assume that the spirit of it reflects yours accurately.

so I grabbed a picture of a cat sitting in my lap

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

After the Great White Blitz, I couldn't decide if should resist or obey.

Do I get you correctly that even an I on a green circle was considered "not OK"???
That would suggest that the great white was really just a random mess to begin with.

I flat out refuse to get a new one. I created my old one to express something that is very dear to me I and will not replace it with another. Never. Especially as the old one was not explicit at all in any way whatsoever.

Just re-upload it.

They generated fill in avatars for people who never uploaded one. It was always a colored circle with the first character of the user name.

They were not full fledged avatars. They were only ever used sometimes. They stopped using next two posts in the forum. Some people are still without a circle at all, I was one of those when they changed. People whose avatar got voided have a white circle.

It was not a cancellation, just a change where the default was shown.

 

[NaughteeDragon]

I've been using the username since I established my first aol email in 1995: eldrwyrm. At writing sites I use variants of that depending on the subject matter. NaughtyDragon was already taken, so I went with Naughtee.

 

[LegendInMyOwnMind]

Mine is adapted from a line from the Clinton Eastwood movie Sudden Impact, where he describes another character as "A legend in his own mind."

 

[Rabelbabe]

I feel like I am a babe and I am in a rebel stage online because I cannot be in real life. I chose Rabel because it brakes the rule of grammar with rebel, in other words I am being rebel with the word rebel by miss spellings it.
With my avatar I am behaving like a rebel girl miss behaving and all miss behaving girls needs a spank. Because I am miss behaving I am a bad girl and I need to be spank.

I always loved your handle.

 

[AG31]

My username is a song, and my avatar is a smoking orangutan, which is basically just the coolest thing (or would be if it weren't so sad). There is no meaning or purpose behind either one.

What language is the song in?
