Pseudonym

Shadow_Ferret · Aug 18, 2008

I'm thinking, starting today, of using a pseudonym with my writing.

Ed Wyrd.

Huh? What do you think? My real name is Edward. It would be Ed Wyrd.

I write fantasy, some horror, wyrd, weird, huh?

Get it? Huh?

C'mon. It worked for Lemony Snickets.

Jcomp · Aug 18, 2008

I say go for it.

NeuroFizz · Aug 18, 2008

Why not Ed Wynd, as in head wind?

Shadow_Ferret · Aug 18, 2008

They might think I'm Keenan's son.

I should have put up a poll.

Here:

Ed Wyrd. I like it!
Ed Wyrd. What are you weird?
Ed Bloom. Now you're on to something.
Ed Eggplant. Yes!

veinglory · Aug 18, 2008

Ed Case?

Shadow_Ferret · Aug 18, 2008

Hmm. This isn't going exactly to plan. I seem to be the butt of the jokes instead of the instigator.

NeuroFizz · Aug 18, 2008

Ed Butt

Shadow_Ferret · Aug 18, 2008

You guys aren't taking into account that I'm very sensitive and easily hurt on Mondays.

If you don't like Ed Wyrd just say so.

Ed Wynd could also be mistaken for the classic comedian Ed Wynn (Uncle Albert in Disney's Mary Poppins as a reference)--but that might not be a bad thing either.

*giggles*

I like it Ed...really I do.

*giggles again*

Was he related to Keenan?

Just use Ed. Worked for that horse... what was his name?

(I like Ed Wyrd)

Gravity · Aug 18, 2008

I like it.

I like Euphonia P. Whipsnead better.

MISTER Ed.

Thanks for dredging up that painful childhood memory, tiny.

Hmm. *visualizes it on a book cover*

Naw. It would have to be in teeny tiny letters. Ed Wyrd can be in huge block letters.

Kitrianna · Aug 18, 2008

What's wrong with the real name? Or just use initials for the first and middle name...like I plan to (only cause I'm not particularly fond of my middle name...thanks Grandma!). Otherwise, Ed Wyrd sounds pretty cool.

Okay. Time to get serious.

What about Ed Lyce?

Y`all are mean! Funny, but mean.

Oh thanks for the idea robeiae! How about Ed Weener? *giggles*

Shadow_Ferret · Aug 18, 2008

I hate Robieaeieio.

Because my real name has some bad associations with it. Ed Gein.

That's darkly funny, considering you write horror, too.

Seriously, I like Ed Wyrd.

reigningcatsndogs · Aug 18, 2008

This thread gave me an Ed ache...

Shadow_Ferret · Aug 18, 2008

Ed Ache. Ed Ache.

"I'd like to welcome our next guest, best selling author, Ed Ache!"

Hey, I think you have something there.

dobiwon · Aug 18, 2008

Too bad you don't write westerns. Then you could be Ed M. Offatdpass

Seriously, I would wonder whether Ed Wyrd would be pronounced as rhyming with Ed-ward or with Ed-weird. Maybe making it Ed Wyrde would look and sound better?

"Sorry Honey, not tonight, I've got an Ed Ache."
