Apologies if this is in the wrong section, but anyhow!
I wanted to start this exercise-and-or-game; as a way to see what a reader would perceive by judging a genre just based on the name they see. If that makes any sense. XD
You know, how J.K. Rowling was told it would be a better idea to just use her first two initials so boys wouldn't dismiss Harry Potter because a woman wrote it? Some author names might sound really "romantic", or like they totally write fantasy "Garth Nix" (though, that is his real name).
I totally forgot my third rule. O_O You can comment on your own name as well.
Remember, this is just for fun! Feel free to say this idea is silly, though. XD
I will start!
My author name is...
Stephy Kay
My writing friend told me that using this name for a book may give off the impression that I am much younger than I actually am.
LET'S GO!!

The rules are very simple:
1. Post your author name (real or pen) - if you have multiple, post them too! More the merrier!
2. Try to at least comment on another name before yours - "If I saw your name, I'd think..." Give an example maybe?
