Five things meme, and talking Pseudonyms

[valarltd]

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (examples: "Five Phrases Batman Will Never Say", or "Five Jobs House Wishes He Had" or "Five Things Dean Will Never, Ever Tell Sam"). Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious or fun!

Pseudonyms

Love 'em?
Hate 'em?

Would you be more likely to buy a book by "Angel" or by "Cynthia Sparks or by "M.A. Raleigh?"

Cynthia Wishom? Cynthia Sparks?
Either of those appeal? What notions do they bring up?

I'm debating wether to use Angel Sparrow or a different pseudonym for my pirate novel.
(Thinking Sparrow might be pushing it, y'know?)

five things Spike wishes he did, before he got a soul?

alternatively, and totally within your own 'verses - five things Nick wishes he'd done in ITaly, and didnt *eg*

I like M.A.Raleigh.
it tells me that the author is possibly competent, and readable.

Angel sounds like a 14 year old girl
Cynthia Wishom sounds like a 14 year old girl who wants to be taken seriously.
Cynthia Sparks *sounds* like a poor mans porn writer.
Angel SParrow - do *not* get me started... you pick that one, Ill never write with you again.

I'll get to the rest, but, seriously?

Angel Sparrow is the one REAL name in there.
I mean, I can go formal and use Angelia, but please, don't make fun of my name...
