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.

I think it's more nature than bias. Lions don't hang out with grizzlies. Besides, why would I wanna summon someone that I don't know if I can communicate with? That I might not be able to feed? If your world is built by and for humans, that's who it makes sense to look for.
[ Julie honestly doesn't know how they choose the Summoned. Maybe the aliens aren't doing anything worth summoning them for. She has no idea. ]
Frankly, I just sorta thought everyone knew about the porn name formula. It's just like, basic social knowledge in America. A joke.

[Those first couple of weeks had been pretty fucking harrowing. But then, if Julie really wants to keep defending the attitudes and actions of their kidnappers as being acceptable, maybe there's no point in arguing. Hell, maybe she knew something about Marlo and the rest of those leeches that Shepard didn't; Julie'd sure as hel been around longer.]
I guess it spread to space from there, then, or at least as far as Arcturus. You're American, then?

[ When creatures of any kind get confused, they get angry and often violent. Julie can imagine nothing more confusing than being unable to communicate in any way with captors of an entirely different species of being. Drawing humans, or races close to human, is an element of control that the factions are capable of exerting over this grand experiment of theirs. Julie doesn't condone any of it, but she understands parts of it.
Also, this kind of strikes her as some sort of weird, self-hating racism against humans. Does Shepherd want aliens around just for the sake of less humans? For some twisted sense of diversity? It's a fucking weird thing to get a metaphorical wedgie about. ]
Sure am. Vegas by way of Kansas.
