Sunshine Challenge #2 - My Fannish Identity
My username came from the name of my favorite character, Aless, in the novel that still remains under my bed unwritten. Nox came from the username that I was assigned by Pottermore when it was still in beta. I like it because it can be one word, Alessnox, or two Aless Nox. The first is useful for forums, and the second doesn’t cause problems when I sign up for a new account and it asks for two names.
My vidding name SaturdayGirl2012 came from the fact that I often do my vidding on Saturdays, and because I thought that it sounded the most like a fourteen year old girl. When I made my first vid, I thought that you had to be a fourteen year old girl to make fan videos, and I didn’t want to stand out as the old fogy that I am.
I gave myself a new pen name when I wanted to write explicit fic, Moire.
I liked it because I always found the moire pattern sensual both visually and physically. It's silky and raised to the touch, illusory, and a bit out of wack. I planned to keep the two usernames separate, but after I posted work under that name, I realized that Archive of our own lumps all of your pen names together. It doesn’t hide anything. Oh well.
Each name has a specific purpose.
Moire – Experimental fiction, especially explicit works, and works in progress.
Alessnox – Finished works of Fan Fiction, and meta, and fan art or commentary
Saturdaygirl2012 – Fan videos
