Not a gripe about the site. Not a gripe about content. No, this gripe is about the fact that someone stole my name and set up a myspace acount with it last fall.

I've used this name every where on the net, and bbs's before that, for years. All my work is published under it. A large number of people know me by this name. So when they go to Myspace looking for me, guess who they're going to find? Not me ;( *fume*

   You could open a MySpace account with the title "The REAL Crystalwizard."

Posted By : crystalwizard - 3/7/2007 5:10 PM
heh. I tried. the guy last logged in on oct 26 of last year. There's nothing on the profile so it looks like whoever set it up, just wanted the name. blech.

ROFL @ Chaos :) Yeah, I could, but that's hard to put into the url ;)

I know a lot of show-biz people have had the same issue. So for their URLs they've done thereal{name}. A voice actor I like did {name}frickengenius. My has to do with my one day plans to legally change my first name to my nickname.

& what Chaos was suggesting was that you put Crystal Wizard as your display name (which can be different than the URL, can be used by more than one person, & people can use to find you).

That's what I've gone ahead and done, much as I hate having to do that. so the URL now is http://www.myspace.com/therealcrystalwizard

I would LOVE to know who the guy is though and what made him decide to come up with the name. I've found him in a couple places on the net but not very many.

Thanks guys.

I have over 1,000 friends right now but most of them are made up of three groups:

1. Heavy Metal bands
2. fellow writers
3. chunky chicks - yep, I'm a chubby chaser and love the big gals

Tarantino himself has been forward and unapologetic about his influences. In a 1994 interview with Empire magazine, he said, "I steal from every single movie ever made. If people don't like that, then tough tills, don't go and see it, all right? I steal from everything. Great artists steal, they don't do homages."

I have no skeletons in my closet, they are all hanging from the yardarm.

Once there were three brothers, Brandrahoon the vampire, Isranon called the Dawnhand, speaker to spirits, and Waejonan the Accursed, first of sa’necari. Isranon defied his brothers and was destroyed, his descendants forced into the darkness.

No, but I just took care of it. All friend requests have to be responded to at myspace unlike other spots like LJ.

ain't myspace grand? ;)

We get more sales from there than any other single place, so far; MySpace people are, overall, very agreeable to marketing.

We're also getting the majority of our books-to-review from there as well.

The majority of our submissions come from duotrope, followed shortly thereafter by ralan's. :)
