What does your username mean?

QueenBex, because I am Bex and queen because when I was bullied at school my history teacher took me to one side and listed off famous historical figures with ginger hair, Queen Elizabeth was my favourite. First time I was trying to make up a username, that conversation popped into my head and I just made it QueenBex and I've been using it ever since.

It is the first name of my favorite character in my favorite book growing up. Been using it for nearly 20 years now.

PS- 10 points if you know the book!

I can't remember the name of the book right now but was it like a sort of fantasy version of the French revolution? Every time I see your name I think of that story, I once read it years ago and never saw the book again!

Arkani is the german name of Arcanine.
When I first played Pokemon, before I actually knew what it was, on a friends old Pocket gameboy (that were as big as house bricks LOL) the first thing I caught was a Growlithe. Enter a 'hey, watch this' from friend, and I saw growlithe evolve to Arcanine.
I was hooked, and I have a slight problem with wanting to collect everything arcanine related.

This is the first forum I've joined (except for 1 I didn't post on) so I wanted something related to the site. So since I'm a proud mama I thought of stitchingmama! After I registered it I realized it was perfect since it sounded like I was making a play on the video game title "cooking mama". Long story short I just let you guys know I'm not as clever as I seem.

You're right on target. Illusion by Paula Volsky. She's amazeballs. One day I'd like to be able to write as awesome as she does.

Holy crap that's the one! Might have to get it and read it again now that I can find it!

And if you have any fiction to share I'd totally love to read it

Oh well, I'm NaNoWriMo'ing this year, but am not going to be finishing on time (damn full time work + college). Eventually I'll get published- (probably not first for this one) but when I do, I'm sure ya'll will hear all about it. I'm not very good at letting others read my stuff though.

Also- I have trouble finding Paula Volsky here in Ireland except second hand bookshops, but you can find Illusion in ebook formats. Give me a shout if you need help finding it. I'll happily throw her books at everyone.

My full name is Alexandra. I didn't want my username to be Alex, so I went with Ally instead! I haven't had anyone call me Ally since I was about 5!
