Supporting The Writer At Every Stage

Choosing a Colony user name: you have the option of using your real name inside the Colony, or adopting a pseudonym. If you opt for the latter, please avoid anything offensive. A controversial name may give a bad impression to other members. Promotional usernames are not acceptable. Your user name should not give the impression that your account has permissions which it does not have, e.g. "administrator", "moderator", etc. Names with an excessive number of digits will come under suspicion - that's what bots look like! A creative choice of name is appreciated - see the columns on the right for some inspiration.
