Life - Ask Me Anything - Username
Yes, I am still answering these, just very slowly. (Still taking questions, too! Ask Me Anything)
st_aurafina asked: I have often wondered where your username is from? Is there an escritoire involved?
More or less, actually! Lo these many years ago, my main desk with a glass and metal piece that I adored. (I don't have a desk now except at work. Instead, I have a giant table for art and I write on a tv stand.) The only problem with it was the lack of storage, so I kept finding old pieces with tiny little drawers and shelves and things and building them around the desk until it was a corner of modern glass and metal and old-fashioned everything else. It was great.
The glass had a bit of a blue tint and blue is my favorite color, but escritoireblue didn't sound right.
I miss writing at a blue desk. Someday, perhaps I will go back.
Anyway, I had slowly been splitting my fannish work off into its own space at the time and decided it needed a consistent username of its own. Since all the work I did for it was created at my desk and I am shit at naming things, including (especially) myself, this is what I ended up with. I wouldn't change it for the world at this point.
