  1. What's in a name? When I was writing DROWNING IN DECEPTION, I was very close to publication when I decided to change the name of not one, not two, but THREE of the characters! Why would I do that?

    Well, It started when I decided that two of the names were too similar: I had a Patricia, called Pat, and a Patrick. So I changed Patrick's name to Daniel, but I wasn't really happy with it. I had another character named [1/2]

    Old classic, but I prefer Aks over this.

    JM: 6/10 if this is how you first met me it's fine but it was only a thing for a narrow window of time and for silly reasons

  7. Obscura (10/10) It me! <3

    Chee (10/10) Very good option, just use caution when there are several cheetahs around

    Cheetah (10/10) Longer, but just as good

    Kofi (6/10) This becomes 10/10 in Kofi suit

    Bat! (6/10) Also becomes 10/10 in Kofi suit

    Rezz/Hyalite/Melody (5/10) Still secondary characters - will go up if they ever become suits :3

    Lion/Tiger/Leopard/Jaguar (0/10) All wrong! X3

    Birth name (2/10) Meh. I really only use it in non-fur type settings

  8. Twig Mouse (6/10): You're working reg at a con.
    Twig (10/10): Most call me this.
    Mouse: 12/10 if we're close, 6/10 if we don't know each other well, presumptuous of you.

    Twiggy (4/10): I'm not a fan of nicknames.
    Twiggles (1/10): Please don't, the first person to call me this is someone I was once seriously offended by and whom I never forgave. Slight trigger.

    Rat (3/10): Look, I love rats. Some of my best friends are rats. I'm not offended at all, I'm just not a rat.
