First post from the journal formerly known as sweetrickitten. I forked over the $15 to effect the change after I found my name--the one I'd wanted lo these many years ago when I first created my journal--on lj's list of expunged names. It's very...short; I'm used to having a longlong username by now. But it's also less confusing, and more recognizable as me, and it doesn't reference the popslash fandom, all of which I consider huge pluses. (Not that there's anything wrong with popslash, of course; it's just not where I am right now.)
