So, I guess its name change time on dA...

Well, I want to assure all my watchers that they need have no fear... I will NOT be changing my name. (Ok, granted, I can't right now anyway, since I don't have a premium account now... but)

I am fraterchaos... my email on yahoo, is fraterchaos, my ID here has always been fraterchaos, if you do a google search for fraterchaos, pretty much everything that comes up will be me... that's MY name, its always been my name.

My Zazzle Store is fraterchaos, my Shadowness account... fraterchaos...about the only thing I have that i use regularly, that isn't fraterchaos is my gmail, and they would not allow me to use that name for some reason... so its a.random.chaos, which is one of my pen names.

So, no, I am not going to change my name... if I need a more professional name at some point in the future, I'll start a new account with the new, more professional name... but fraterchaos will always be here... its pretty much who I am, more than any other name I use, online or even in real life.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not condemning ANYONE who does chose to change their name... that's totally cool and I am happy you finally can do that... if you want to change yours, more power and all that, its great, go for it! But I'm totally happy with my name, I have always been happy with it, in fact, one reason I like it so much is that I can go anywhere online and hardly ever have a problem using this name to sign up for anything... nobody else wants it, and that is worth a lot!

I have to admit though, I do have one small complaint about the whole name change thing... if I read it right, you can not change back to your old name EVER... and nobody else can ever use your old name either... ok, great that nobody else can appropriate your old name, I think that makes good sense... but why "you can't change back"? For one thing, there is a chance we will eventually run out of names... (yeah, I know, that's not too likely) but if nobody can ever use your old name, why the prohibition on a person changing BACK to a former name? That one part just doesn't make any sense to me...

Warning Warning! Shameless Self Promotion!!!!

I have lots of stuff posted here in the prints section, if anyone would consider buying anything... it would be a huge help because I could get paid in points and use the points for a Premium Membership upgrade...

And, if you don't want to pay dA prices... I also have a Zazzle Store at: www.zazzle.com/fraterchaos* if you wish to take a look, I will be continuing to add new stuff there as I go along...

Well that's a relief! This is bound to be very confusing for a while though I don't blame people who feel they were stuck with the wrong handle!

My aka has been mine since the 80's and it's really my true net and business alter ego and I've only used it with some small minor variations for some sites where I couldn't use Zurakowsky (like SL) so NO I'm still me! LOL! :D

I might change my avatar though if I can find a new skin on SL! LOL! :D
