This is neat, hearing everyone's name finally after all these years! Great thread idea! 😀 It's interesting to see how many people used parts of their given name for a username, too. Anyway, I think that many of you already know what what my real life acquaintances call me, but for those of you who don't: it's Katie. I don't mind sharing my first name online, and if anyone here would like to call me that you're all more than welcome to. It's actually short for "Katherine" which although it seems a little too up-tight for *me* to use day-to-day (at least I think so!), I do love the spelling of it and am prone to using it for writing letters, etc. Other than "Katers" I don't have any nicknames to share.... I do have one friend that calls me "Peanut" religiously, but that's a long story involving a late night phone call from her rooftop.... anyway, that's for another time! 😛
As for my online "aliases" obviously Angelic Slayer has become my main username for anything Buffy/Angel related. I have used "crystalix" as an online pen-name for fanfiction when I was younger, but some day soon I'm sure that I'll retire that username for something I use more often. I occasionally use "Katherine Ann" for online stuff too-- just for sites where something like "Angelic Slayer" won't fit in with the atmosphere!
