How did you choose your avatar and username?

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.

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.
