Hey guys, wasn't sure if this goes in the spam zone or gaming since it has do with gaming but just in case, just did it here.

So anyways, I need some help again on the game. I still haven't decided whether or not I'm going to follow the psychology path and just make writing my hobby or completely push psychology aside but in case I do go down the first path I want to be taken seriously in both fields. So I've decided to write under a pen name.

I was thinking Lily Reaper which is the name I use on pratically everything that isn't facebook or real life things, but then I thought that if I do do NLA then I can't make the main character be named after myself and that would throw everything off so that's out.

I decided on Rebecca. But the last name and how I spell it is the real question I'm asking you. Up there are the choices and as people who I grew up with and who are pratically family to me, I felt that your opinion really matters to me so I'm hoping you guys will help me choose. Above are the choices, please pick and I'll stick with the winner.

Thanks guys!

~Brittany (aka Lily)

yeah, well I was thinking of majoring in psychology and minoring in writing but you should see the fucking requirements for writing O_O; and it's not the thing I want to do, writing wise. I'm more of a creative writer then 'write 10 pages about the sentense 'the dog ran'.' No thank you.

And I watched a thing on Vh1 about a child star who then grew up to become a lawyer but no one took her seriously because she was a child actress. I don't want to be doing research and people see me like "oh wow you're he girl who writes for video games and anime". So if I do a pen name that way I cna be happy^^

You'd be surprised at how little a pen name actually matters. Exactly what do you plan on publishing as an author and as a psychologist? Normally the requirement for a pen has to do with putting out something that would get you in hot water... But in all honesty, it doesn't really matter all that much anymore. Publishing companies are notorious douchebags and if someone wanted to, they easily could find out what your real name is just by asking. Trust me on that much.

If you're writing for the internet, then there's actually a much greater need for a pen. Basically anywhere you go for a job is going to at least Google your name now.

I suggest doing an anagram of your real name. S'always clever.

Ynattirb......yeah that's not noticable -.-;

Besides Brittany Rivers sounds kind of lame and stupid, I never liked my name especially the Brittany part and I don't really want to have that name on any of my game covers, why do you think I've stuck with the name Lily instead?
