This is a problem? Am I not paying attention again?
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

If I only had a brain...
It's happening mostly in Bitches, I think.

Also, that doesn't include name changes for work purposes or changes to a RL name for those who become comfortable using it, righteo?
It's the same account with a name change on it, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I second it also, although I don't care if someone shows up as an abstract noun. As long as it's a one to one mapping.
When someone's ducking under the radar (like vw did) or even constructing a Sang Sacre character, I don't care.
In fact, I'd also suggest a Sang Sacre exclusion, but the thread's been quiet for a while anyway. Still, it is neater that way in my head.

A Sang Sacre exclusion makes perfect sense to me; I just didn't think of it because I never bleed holy.
Also, Allyson, yes, you can still change your name; it's the single-account part that's important and if we get enough suggestions to make it to lightbulbs, I'll clarify that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That's three. We need four, right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
You know, handful of people had fun for an hour or so playing a game/having a conversation. Sometimes that happens. On every darn thread. Some things aren't fun for every single person. Some of us, for example, don't give a hoot about TAR or dinner plans in LA. Big freakin' deal. Skip the discussion. Get over it.
Shooting down a discussion one doesn't "like" -- be it about christiantiy or teaching or cats or diets or a silly game that would have been gone at the end of the day is getting to be an annoying theme around here lately.
Then we go back channel and get all earnest in our Live Journals and the board dies for a day or two. It's absurd. It's decidedly un-fun.

So I guess I'd need to prove my name? Desiging Noise seems to be a bit of an abstract concept. Hell, my parents don't even understand what I do and they've seen my shows.

I count Wolfram, Jessica, ita, msbelle. That's four.
