@seablue responded to the challenge today from @battleaxe to talk about the origins of our usernames. This started in @thealliance, I will likely nominate some outside the alliance to spread the love. # The Rules: * Tell us in your post how you chose the current Steemit username you have, the story behind it. * Tell us your real name! * If you could change your current Steemit username, which name would you choose and why? If you have a possible usernames list, mention it!* Use the tag #steemitnamechallenge so that I can track all the posts and check them out * Nominate 5 people for this challenge # The Response: There isn’t much of a story behind my username. Shadows is something that has been part of my online personna for sometime starting with a now dormant news commentary blog called *Out of the Shadows*. When I decided that I was going to pursue writing, I created the concept of *Shadows Publishing* as a future ‘publisher’ if I self-published. Then I met up with STEEM and that became @shadowspub Well, if I wanted to tell my real name — I wouldn’t need @shadowspub. If I could change my name, I wouldn’t. I’m good with this one. I’ve managed not to get it flagged into oblivion or attached to any scammy behaviour. I do have some other names and will choose if and/or when I want them known. Now for the next victims: * @artemisnorth * @dbzfan4awhile * @gmuxx * @guiltyparties * @whatsup Have fun and play along. https://i.imgur.com/Whkm7p1.jpg [![steemit ramble](https://i.imgur.com/fFHSyDc.jpg)](https://discord.gg/hzhzWxw) ## Until Next Time — Just Steem on https://i.imgur.com/Whkm7p1.jpg [![](https://steemitimages.com/50x60/http://steemitboard.com/@shadowspub/commented.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=shadowspub) [![](https://steemitimages.com/60x70/http://steemitboard.com/@shadowspub/votes.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=shadowspub) [![](https://steemitimages.com/70x80/http://steemitboard.com/@shadowspub/posts.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=shadowspub) [![](https://steemitimages.com/100x80/http://steemitboard.com/@shadowspub/level.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=shadowspub) [![](https://steemitimages.com/70x80/http://steemitboard.com/@shadowspub/comments.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=shadowspub) [![](https://steemitimages.com/60x70/http://steemitboard.com/@shadowspub/voted.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=shadowspub) [![](https://steemitimages.com/50x60/http://steemitboard.com/@shadowspub/payout.png)](http://steemitboard.com/board.html?user=shadowspub) https://i.imgur.com/Whkm7p1.jpg ### If you like this, please follow me and upvote the post. ### If you’d like to see the other days I’ve posted, [just visit my profile](https://steemit.com/@shadowspub)
