Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not bothered by online nicknames being used online - that's the point of them, after all. Just in real life it seems, I don't know, a tad bizarre to me.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So I should stop calling shrift "shrift"?

My online nicks have tended to be easier for people to spell and say than my real name.
And, occasionally, they've more closely resembled an actual name.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whedonesque's not real life. Well, not realer than here, anyway.

We'll end up on fandom wank at this rate over quote marks.
ETA: Yeah, but I consider Whedonesque a little more visible. Hence, more formal. Or something.

Nah.
At least, I don't think so. F_W's been slow on the uptake lately, and even at our worst, we're too civil to really mockity mock mock.
Plus, I'm sure Harry Potter fandom is having a meltdown RIGHT NOW, seeing as they have them on a daily basis.

My position on it is to replicate what they call themselves (down to capitalisation) while within the same medium, and ask about changing to something else when switching. Except in meara's case, where I just don't want to call her by her real name. shrift too.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Shrift's real name is shrift, and I don't care what her driver's license says.

meara's real name isn't meara?
