queenbarwenchOk, I was tagged by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
silver_etoile to explain the origin of my username.
My internet identity has been through several incarnations.
I was a bartender right from the week after my eighteenth birthday and, during my first year at college when someone labeled me as the Barwench, I decided to make it my own. My first online presence was as Barwench on our Debating Society forum at college. Very small community, hence my free choice of username.
When I came to LJ, plain old "barwench" was unavailiable, so I added my name on to make "barwench_tanya". That's my RL journal.
When I discovered the world of fandom I decided that I couldn't possibly add the fanfics to my RL journal due to the high probablility of my family (or friends with overly Conservative attitudes - yes, I know, but they're friends for other reasons) seeing them, so I started a new LJ as "queenbarwench", since we should all give ourselves the opportunity to feel like royalty occasionally.
I'm supposed to tag people now to expalin their username/penname... So I will tagenchanted_jae, moonflower_rose, frayach, jennavere and ferret_shocker. Apologies if you've already been tagged, and I won't be offended if you don't want to explain the Secret Mysteries of the Username to me. Happy UnBirthday, everyone!
