I would never use a forum name based on one of the characters of OSC's books.

*raises hand* My screenname is an OSC reference too (except for the X). So if you're too fanboyish, then I'm too fangirly. quote: I'm just glad to know somebody liked Verily Cooper enough to remember him when not actually reading the book. Are you kidding, Scott? Verily is one of the best characters in that series. He's awesome.

I think I have at least one alt that's an OSC reference. Let's see if it still works.

And yeah, I like both Verily Cooper and the name Verily the Younger.

Verily the Younger, I think your pseudonym is exactly fanboyish enough.

Verily, I did the same thing as you. Although the only spin I put on "Little Doctor" was the _(underscore). I've been planning out a new identity since I came back in late February. I feel like I'm not special enough to pull off a name change though.

It is hard to get people to understand if you've changed your name. Tho it helps if you post a lot right before and then right after your name change, making sure people understand that it's you.

I've thought about changing my name, mainly because people think I'm a guy, but I've become too attached to it to let go. I've been Miro for almost 5 years now. That's over a quarter of my life!

Now I'm embarrassed to have an OSC-themed screenname myself. Talk about obvious.

I've been meaning to criticize your fanboy screen name. Are you trying to imply that you're the biggest OSC fan on this site? Or maybe we weren't smart enough to get it first (or the first 208 anyway).

I wonder if OSC knows about OSC-fan because of Kristine? Otherwise he has no idea that we are the mysterious Hatrack Trinity or why.
