Writer's Block: The Name Game

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I have changed it once already, so probably not. I can't think of anything else that would work. My username was originally faith_of_borg when I started out on LJ. At the time, I was still heavily into Buffy and Star Trek, and didn't have any better ideas for a username. As I drifted away from both in various ways, I wanted a username that wasn't focused on a particular fandom. One I wouldn't get tired of.

Calliopes_Pen was the result. Calliope comes from Greek mythology and was one of the Muses. I've loved mythology since I was 2. I don't see myself getting sick of that. I like writing for RPG's and fanfic--and a few years ago, I also used to write various essays in various fandoms--so the pen bit was tacked on. I think it works.

I also have two icons with that username, one in the Buffy fandom, one in Doctor Who (one of which I'm using for this post). Someday, I'll see if I can get one in Ghostbusters or Back to the Future since those two fandom loves will never die.
