So--like, I'm new here.

Although, I've been a member of the WS for a few months now, I never formally introduced myself with a noob thread.

My name is Austin James Hatch, although I generally go by James. Or Austin if it's government related or semi-important. My birthday is on February 6. Hence the ghey moniker: aushatch0206.

I write using my first and middle names because, let's face it, it's the best option I have.

I am not a pornstar, but I have done extensive studies into the viewing of pornography and related masturbation habits.

I look forward to being a part of the Cult, and am excited about many fruitful encounters with all of my fellow members.

This is total bullshit. You can't just make a welcome thread when you're already in the second trimester of Culting.

Well, apparently it is possible to make such threads at any time. Until I receive my revised copy of the user's guide, I stand by my thread.

Hatch is a great last name. Austin James could be literally anyone, but Hatch is your name and it's the only distinctive part of your name. Throwing it away is throwing away an easy way to remember who you are.

In short, write with your name. I think the best option is Austin Hatch.

Great advice. Although, we'll have to agree to disagree.

I'm a little disappointed. Whenever there's a hot woman or pornstar dude in the newbie welcome threads, everyone demands a post in the DDT. I mean really...

Great advice. Although, we'll have to agree to disagree.

I tried to write under Anthony David for a while (nixing the last name, Jacques) but I ran into the same problem I was trying to avoid by dropping the last name: having to explain things to everyone.

No one says Jacques right, and everyone thinks it's French. So I tried to avoid that conversation a million times over by dropping it. But I ended up having to explain to people I knew why I dropped the last name, so it was a wash.

Anyway, that probably doesn't add much to the present discourse of welcoming you to the place that helps the Cult earn it's name.

See you around.

Consider.

"Austin Hatch" writes popular crime novels.

"James Hatch" is a woodworker by trade, but takes what odd-jobs he can get.

"Austin James" is either a cute little four-year-old boy in an uncomfortable bow-tie or a man-on-man masseur.

Names are powerful things, my friend.

I do see your point.

Snatch--not only a movie I enjoy, but also slang for vagina. Good stuff. Not to mention a very original and creative play on my last name.

The Literary Works of Austin Snatch

I like it. If I use it, will you demand royalties?

Point taken and it is something I will definitely consider. I have other reasons for writing as Austin James as well, albeit most will seem lame to anyone who's not me.

yeah, that's generally the way with most life choices. at the end of the day you've gotta do what makes you happy. that is until a publisher or agent discovers you're hiding a bitching real name and then make you change it.

Lose the gun. So that other people's post seem to carry a different meaning of their own.
