Seeking advice

I understand that this is a bit sudden, but...

If you were looking for a writer's pseudonym, what would you consider a good fit?

Just nothing sounding like a nickname for a mercenary or gang member, please.

Is the hypothetical writer trying to remain incognito?

[blackeyedprince]

he might try

[ushiri]

Maybe a woman's name.

Dorothea. Winifred.

[blackeyedprince]

. . .

I'd rather stay away from Winifred.

[please don't remind him...]

it's creepy.

[ushiri]

Not writing a horror story?

[blackeyedprince]

Given that my subject matter are werewolves. No. Horror story would be pretty distasteful. Besides, I have no idea how to write one.

[Not that he has much idea how write anything.]

[ushiri]

What IS it about, then?

[ Don't leave him in suspense. ]

[blackeyedprince]

[Why are people whose opinion he really cares about express genuine interest in his silly experiment? Kell can't shake the feeling he's making a fool of himself in front of the very people he wants to impress. Like Kyle.]

A romance.

[A pause. Eh... he admitted to Wilhelm... and Jesper. It will be unfair not to do the same for Kyle. He can probably read those response too.]

Please don't laugh.

[ushiri]

I promise I'm not laughing.

[ Just surprised, and - well, maybe grinning a little bit. ]

Will we be able to read it when you're done?

[blackeyedprince]

If you want. Then sure.

[Such casual. Wow. Saints, help him. He is so going to die. Self-combust with embarrassment on the spot.]

[ushiri]

I look forward to it.

[ Oh Kell. ]

[blackeyedprince]

Just don't get your hopes up. I've never written a book before.

[Oh no! The horror of expectations! He's soooo done now. No way he'll ever let Kyle see anything less than perfect. No pressure!]
