Nice username, Sapphira/Arias M. :D

Good idea, Mrs. White Raven! My other suggestion would be to include some sentence about your former username, such as...

Quote:
~ Elsa, formerly known as Alaethea


... in your signature.

~ Alaethea

That's a good idea, Alaethea.

Arias Myles aka Sapphira, you only had me confused for a minute or two, then I figured out who you were. :)

I was thinking about changing my username to the name of one of my characters... I don't know if I'll do it though. :)

aka would work as well

"Arias Myles aka Sapphira"
that would be shorter,
but still might not be short enough.
Not sure how many characters you are allowed for a username.

The signature line is a good suggestion!

The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust to them; it was not in them, it only came through them, and what came through them was longing. These things—the beauty, the memory of our own past—are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshippers. For they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.

All the things that have deeply possessed your soul have been but hints of it—tantalising glimpses, promises never quite fulfilled, echoes that died away just as they caught your ear... We cannot tell each other about it. It is the secret signature of each soul, the incommunicable and unappeasable want . . . which we shall still desire on our deathbeds . . . ~C.S. Lewis

I tried just putting my old username in parentheses, but it was still too many characters. It said the maximum was 20 characters. I will change my signature line, though.

The signature ought to work nicely.

I like Raven of the Wood, it is easier to know how to pronounce. :)

Thank you! If you're reading the pieces of The Masked Bird that I'm posting, you'll eventually find out why I chose it. :)

Hee hee... I haven't quite figured that part out yet. :D

I'm leaning toward Lionsong, because I like lions and music. My pen name is supposed to be an acronym of my name.

See? Evening Lionsong Aspen.

Lionsong is beautiful! And it's really neat that it makes an acronym of your name!

Lol. The people in charge told me to take him away so that he wouldn't bother them anymore :'( They're the ones you should point the dagger at. Seer is merely Mr. Squishy's humble friend who volunteered to take his place. I should have an essence map for him up in a few days (that's not odd at all mapping the essence of a username. ;))

There's a thread for this. Multiple threads, actually.
*Summons a minion * Go fetch some links!
For the same reason I can't lock the summoning thread I can't lock this one. Please take your conversation to GD? * clasps hands pleadingly * (And no, don't answer that.)

Here. . . I'll put this politely for Katie. :) Lady Elanor has a link posted in about three or four posts above that specify a thread in which you may chat about username changes and pronunciations. And, since this thread is in the announcements section, I hold the rights to delete all conversation/off-topic posts. Ehem. . . So, keep the chatting at a minimum please?
