Day 4: What are the origins of your penname/username?

It's pretty simple: it is just Smallville girl. I joined fandom to write Smallville, specifically Clark/Oliver, fics and I just wasn't that creative. And the way it is spelled shows my age/sign of the times lol

I would change it but well, I'm lazy, still not that creative with names, and as it is, I get confused enough when people I follow on Tumblr change their usernames so I just stick to mine. Stay on brand.

Sometimes simple is best! :D

True! I would probably go for something else if I could go it all over but hey, it's the least of my problems anyway. At least everyone gets the point. :D

I came into fandom via Smallville too, waaaay back in 2001, and I couldn't seem to come up with a suitable username in relation to Smallville itself, though to be fair it had been on the air for less than one whole season at that point! So, I went back to the Superman canon that I knew before - Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. My favourite episode was always Ultrawoman, in which Lois gets to be a superhero for a while. Chose the name on a whim and it stuck. 20 years later, everybody I know online calls me Ultra and it doesn't even seem weird to me that that's my 'name' anymore! lol

I like your name. It's who you are! :)

Makes sense, I made an LJ around 2006 and in retrospect, it is surprising it was still available. I had to go with svgurl410 on some other sites and add my birthday when it wasn't. I never would've guessed that was the origin of your username! Very cool though.

LOL I think I feel the same. :D

Thanks! I feel the same way about your's. It's funny how we know people for so long and still just identify them by their username and it makes total sense. :D

Who knew my Brady guy would still be playing, LOL! :)

Haha true! Well, my dad guessed he'd be retired at 40, I thought he'd be playing till he was 43 because I was too reluctant to say 45, and at this point, who knows? Your username has aged well, just like him. :D
