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.

What're you going to be writing?

[blackeyedprince]

I ...

[There is a long pause before the actual answer. Suddenly, it doesn't feel like a great idea. He can't lie. He already told Wilhelm about it. Publicly. Shit.]

a romance

[a dark, paranormal romance about werewolves to be precise]

I'm not so sure if it's such a good idea.

[itookashot]

OH REALLY.

[ Jesper's grinning. ]

Is it going to be a dirty book? Can I read it?

[blackeyedprince]

Maybe.

[yes, it will be... eventually. give him time.]

Would you read it it wasn't?

[itookashot]

Of course I'll read it if you're publishing it.

[ FLIRT. ]

[blackeyedprince]

I am. Once I have the damned thing written.

[It's criminal how effective this is. How dare.]

[itookashot]

Feel free to send me chapters as you write them. Especially naughty bits.

[ He's an expert, Kell, it's not your fault. ]

[blackeyedprince]

You know, if you really want to see the work in early stages, you'll need to help me with research.

[Is this his attempt at flirting? Gasp. It might just be!]

[itookashot]

[ Jesper's genuinely impressed and amused. He's getting better at flirting! ]

I'm more than happy to share some ideas with you.

[blackeyedprince]

[Oh, the wonders that having someone who won't judge even the failed attempts can do to a person's confidence and willingness to try new things.]

Do you? Hm, then maybe you could help me work on the text even before it's finished.

[itookashot]

I love being the inspiration for creativity, you know that.

[blackeyedprince]

I do, and I count on that. It's a whole book. I would need a lot of inspiration.

[itookashot]

Come by my Horizon later, I'll give you some notes.

[blackeyedprince]

How do you feel about a little reenactment? For research, of course. I'd like to keep my descriptions realistic.
Will you be willing to help me with those?

[itookashot]

We'll find out tonight.

[blackeyedprince]

Now, I'm really curious.
