Origins of your net name and title.

[gunhilltrain]

When I first joined Lit as a reader I was unconcerned with my moniker and came up with Robroy1968 based on my name and birth year and a movie I'd recently watched.

As I began writing I decided that my screen name didn't feel very memorable, or authorly, so I modified it a bit. But not so much that people wouldn't connect the two naturally.

As for my title, if you know Pulp Fiction, you know it just works. And I've been known to be a bit chessy at times.

If I remember correctly, they didn't want to use the term "Big Mac" in the movie so they called it a "Cheese Royale." (I guess I could look it up.)

Where did you get the avatar image?

I didn't explain the title, which was supposed to be "multiple-unit control," but that had too many letters to fit. If you are really that interested, you can look it up.

In Pulp Fiction, Jules Vince and Jules are discussing the cultural differences between Europe and the US. Specifically about how a "Quarter pounder with cheese" in Paris is called a "Royale with cheese". The reasoning behind it is that they use the Metric system so they wouldn't know what a "quarter pounder" is.

As for the avatar, my wife sent it to me. She likely pulled it off the web. One day she was chatting with her friend, who was referring to her husband as a teddy bear viking because he was a very large muscular fellow who was sporting the 40+ dad-bod which she really liked.

My wife turned to me and said that I was her teddy bear viking. I replied that I wasn't a tall viking-like fellow. She said that I do have a lot of military and law enforcement tactical training, and am still sporting muscles enough to throw 80-pound hay bales, which made me her "teddy bear warrior."
I replied that I could live with that. She sent me the image that afternoon, for no particular reason except to make me smile.

I'm open to suggestions about where my name came from and what it conjures in people's minds.
The title is a quote from Emma Watson and you can google for the long version.

I’m not entirely sure what it conjures up for me, but don’t ever change it. Your handle and avatar photo are just a really good package!

Whipped cream and other toppings have often shown up in my wife's and my sex play. We're both often sticky afterward.

I was writing just for fun and for my wife and she had found Literotica and enjoyed reading here. She told me I should try my hand here and I didn't agree. I remember her saying "Come on, you should see some of the crap on there, you'll be fine."

She ended up creating this handle for me. Simple enough I'm a huge HPL fan and she added my birth year because she thinks she's funny. She created it in 2009 and when I still didn't post anything, she told me I had a month or she was going to pick one of my stories and post it for me, so in May 2010 I put up my first story.

As for title, I used to have Bad Doggie on there for a long time, and I forget why but I took it out, and then when I went to replace it for some reason I couldn't so I've just left it with the guru default.

This has to be my favorite origin story so far.

I've been curious about yours for a while! I actually have a fellow Lit friend who keeps referring to you as a female. I told them that I was fairly certain you were a male, but they just continued calling you by female pronouns.

Lol maybe I'll direct them to this post

Now I'm dying to know how that happened. Want to ask and pass the answer back anonymously?

I don't think I ever tried to give people the idea I was a woman.

When we were changing over to high visibility uniforms, I forgot my vest . On my way outside, my supervisor said, "Go put a vest on!" I replied, "I've got something better for stopping traffic." Pause for anticipation. "THESE LEGS!" I still had to put a vest on but that was the day These Legs gained self-awareness.

I'm not an afficionado of Potter, so I wasn't aware of the referent, Jane. From the start, however, I envisioned your nickname as alluding to a propensity to stick to all sort of issues and ideas. That seemed to fit your conversations with me and all your other postings on Lit. I rather enjoyed the diversity of your comments, even if I didn't comment on them all. Keep up the good work, girl!

There's even a t-shirt

 

[RelentlessOnanism]

I just thought it was funny. And sort of appropriate, since I first created it for a (now defunct) erotic chat forum.

I chose poorly when I picked my username. My approach to life is to apply humor where possible. I was being silly when I picked it. It’s actually a facetious goofy nickname that I gave myself when I was in middle school. I only used it at home as I’d never risk the humiliation of middle school peer pressure to conform by actually telling any of my friends. But my mom and Dad would occasionally refer to me by this moniker because I did so frequently.

When I joined Lit, I wanted something unique but I’m not terribly creative so I fell back on an old name. I use it on a sports message board I frequent. I clearly did not think though the fact that the site has a lot of incest content and there are clear admonitions against anything even hinting at underaged content. Just to say it plainly, I have zero attraction to children.

I think a fair number of people immediately get that it’s sort of a goofy brag of a username that pokes fun at myself. But I occasionally get people who think I’m advertising to RP as a minor child who is awesome or something like that. Uh, no.

I‘m interested in any feedback positive or negative. Do you think it’s kinda funny and unique, or does it take you to a pervy place none of us want to be?

Great thread.

 

[Duleigh]

Duleigh was my dog's name and that's his picture. Back in 2001 I promised myself if I could quit smoking cold turkey after 25 years I'd get a dachshund. 6 month's later Duleigh came home with me. He was named after a beer mug, but the spelling is different.

 

[Mypssypls]

Mine is not as original as a most of the responses. It’s my thought when I’m feeling naughty when I log on to lit. she needs attention..

Makes me think of this boxer I once knew who was called “Kid Gorgeous”. Later after several fights they just called him “Moe”.

 

[tenyari]

First erotica story I ever started to write was a fantasy story of a woman possessing her parallel world self and doing the usual 'figure out this strange new world' all while unable to remember anything from the moment she woke up in the new body.

EDIT to add: That story's character was told she was 'Tenyari' by the people she met. Which I pulled out of a random fantasy name generator...

Never finished it because I got to several hundred thousand words and was still in the "introduction" without having begun the plot... A plot that I've revised and rewritten many times in my head since.

Someday I might finish that tale - the one in my head now is very different from the one I started 20+ years ago. The whole plot for it hit me about ten years ago so now it's been really bugging me to get out there. The main character even got a name change as a result - with 'Tenyari' now the name she ends the story with.

But I typed the name into asstr way back when thinking I'd have the story out in a day or two, and then my 'AI Girl' popped into my head almost fully formed after dream and things went where they went.

 

[RachelWalsh]

I think it was based on a cesium 135 compound , or possibly even play doh. I get confused.

I do not expect anyone to believe who I really am.

You’re a certain princess my old friend Methos found after she survived a certain Russian Revolution, right? Someone he taught to use a sword? Maybe I’m wrong and writing historical fanfic again.

Hehehehe you are spot on. My cover may well be blown now!

Achtung is a great word, isn’t it?

[cdstefi]

Mine's just short, sweet and descriptive (plus usually not already taken on email addresses or profile names on sites). I'm a crossdresser and Stefi is a cute sounding fem analogue to my given male name.

You ever need advice on this, let me know. It sounds like a fun premise. I have a story on another site called Mirror Match with similar themes. A misanthropic parallel universe version of Sydney Sweeney infiltrates my fanfic universe and starts trying to take over by messing with that universe’s Sydney looking to eventually assume her identity. But first she goes after lookalikes and stunt doubles hoping to indulge a twisted level of narcissist perfectionist disorder. The canon Sydney must then help the stunt doubles and take down their victimizer. Thankfully she has a fanfic author deity, an interdimensional mercenary group called the Deadpool Corp, and the deity’s unorthodox psychotherapist hot wife (she’s the sort of doctor who carries a Sonic Screwdriver in her purse too) to help her out.

Couldn’t post this on Lit due to censorship rules and the arc is on indefinite hiatus due to unpopularity. But your plot idea sounds more positive than mine and therefore more possible. Good luck.

 

[Comshaw]

My moniker is a warped form of an old naval term. My uncle was in the Navy for 4 years. During my growing up years he worked in a paper mill. He had all these things in his shop like mill canvas and stainless steel bolts and nuts. When I ask him where he got them he would tell me he comshawed (liberated) them from the mill. That's how he pronounced it. When I got on the net way back and needed a nick, I figured that Comshaw was an uncommon enough one to use. The problem is had I known then I was going to be writing erotic tales I'd have looked it up to make sure I had it spelled right. In reality, the real word is spelled "cumshaw". As you can see, as a writer of smut I missed out. It's way too late now to change. Besides, I've gotten kinda' used to the perverted one. Actually, if you think about it, the original word "CUMshaw" would be great for a smut writers nom de plume, but in a round about way a perverted one is just as appropriate.
