    My favourite film is Kes. In it Billy Casper has a half-brother called Jud, and I like the way Billy asks after his brother in his strong Yorkshire accent, "Have you seen our Jud?"

    My name came from a random word generator site, as I couldn't think of anything at the time.

    Uncertain redundancy and ghostwriter gravity were other contenders.

    I read that as "ghostwriter gravy" the first time.

    Sorry, I spent a lot of time in the South this year...

    Sounds like something you buy in the pet food aisle for your Ghostwriter.
    Comes in 20 and 50 lb bags, and keeps their coat shiny and healthy. :p

    I'd hate to be a ghostwriter. I write a book (albeit with help) and someone else gets to put their name on it. Zoella, I'm looking at you.

    "Zoella says! Zoella has the creed! On a mound of books she didn't write!"

    "That was funny up until you said that. Now it's just mean."

    (Demma's Vlog Log, for the curious. YouTube series, very funny. Just thought I should cite my sources.)

    I didn't realize I could use a pseudonym instead of my real name... I might have gone with my pen name, David Henry Truman.... I use this name to honor three people My dad, my brother (who passed away three hours after birth) and my Grandpa's middle name. It's also the only name I don't use in my stories, so it won't look like I put myself into my stories. :p which I don't.

    Mine is a candidate for a pen name. S A are my actual initials while Lee is an ancestral surname in the family. No, I have no relation to Christopher or Stan.

    I like things to do with ghosts. So when I found out about the word 'eidolon' I was excited. I've never had to use it in conversation. The spelling is pretty though. You can do a lot with it. I chop off and rearrange letters to make new user names. I mispronounce this word in my head even though I've heard the correct pronunciation of it. I even made up a name (which I found out is already a name) from one of the usernames I made up: Aidalee (ay-duh-lee). I might name my daughter that if I ever have one. Or a character, who knows ;)

    3654 = 2 * 7 * 9 * 29 = 666 + 666 + 666 + 666 + 666 + 6 * 6 * (6+3)

    Legend, starring Tom Cruise. Ages since I've thought of that movie.
