When my little brother was born, my father wanted his name to be Jobira. But later, that name lost a battle between the wife and the husband, and became Samson. That was like more than 25 some years ago.

After my dad passed away, few years ago, I forgot many of my old pen or user names and took over Jobira.

Somehow, I felt that keeping this name makes my father’s memory live forever.

I want people to read my stories and I want their lives to be different because of them. I want them to close the book after reading the last page and just sit there, thinking like we all've done before with a really good book. I want people to know why I write, I want people to feel my emotions through words printed out on a peice of paper. I want people to know that, no matter what, I will always write from my heart. I chose Famewriter because it's my dream. That my name will one day be on the New York Times Bestseller. That people will want to be able to be submerged in my books for hours and not really care about what's going on around them in reality. I want people to get lost in the same thoughts I get lost in. I want to spread my dream to other young writers. I want people to know that even if they feel like their voice can't be heard above the rucus of reality, they can always find a way to be heard through writing. That's why I chose Famewriter.

I started writing a few years back.

It was the time when I was in chaos, my mind, my heart.

I am not even sure if I am still sane that time.

So I started to write using a Pen and a notepad.

Someone saw my work and said “you write nicely and the opposite of ur current insanity”

hence d name stuck

Opposite of insane is sane

So Sane Writer it is

When your voice is inaudible to loud mouths,

when the ear cannot scrape your words,

we scribble it atop paper, any piece of flat surface

that will accept pen:

we leave captions

your inability to hear

does not mean

we do not

exist.

'Qalam' comes from the Greek kalamos meaning "reed" or "pen". In Islam, the reed is a symbol of wisdom likely because it is associated with writing and calligraphy. Quite literally then, it is a 'pen-name'. Truthfully, I should have chosen something akin to 'pencil' if only that is what I chiefly write and draw with as can be attested by by Deviant Art profile (Qalam87). And that is all there pretty much is to Qalam's origin story. Fortunately, no uncles were killed.

Tai Sensei:

Short for Taija Sensei

Short for Taija the Almighty Awesome-tastic Cool Superior Warrior Dragon Tamer Evil Sensei Ninja Assassin Spy in disguise (The First).

Which,

is a title I managed to tag on all my friend’s high school yearbooks when I left that hel- I mean- when I left that place.

As well as,

What I keep putting in people’s phone’s when they ask for my number.

I am a writer, and in one of my stories the main character is a kid named Giovanni Herald. There’s no question as to why he might go by an alias with a first name like that, but the reason behind why he is called Ghost shall remain a mystery until I eventually publish the book.

So please don’t steal this name!

I have gotten a few requests for the story behind my own username, so I suppose this is as good a time as any to post it!

When I was in elementary school there were few things more important to me than imaginary games. I missed far too many teacher directions lost in my own head, thinking about my charachter's next big adventure. After about 2nd grade my "princess" fantasies were long over, and superhero adventures took their place.

I made a friend that year, a girl with the same overpowered imagination and obsession with saving the world as me. The morning bus ride that had once seemed neverending grew shorter and shorter as the two of us spent the time sharing stories with one annother. The desire to share our make belive games with others is what sparked my love for writing, a love that hasn't wavered even years later.

It didn't take long before my friend and I realized that every great superhero must have an allias. My charachter had wings, thus the name Dove. As time passed, though, a bird who symbolized peace didn't fit my charachter. My charachter had become a girl who was strong and unstoppable... the girl I so desparately wanted to be. So, Raptor was born. The feirce, merciless cousin of the Dove. But for there to be one, there must be the other. Chaos and peace. Innocence and guilt. The two titles may have been born of a childs mind, but they have come to mean far more to me than fodder for a simple game.

I suppose they define me.

A.C. Wolfe

A.C., my first two initials.

Also the names of my two dominant personalities; Alex and Chris, Anger and Creativity.

When I was younger, I thought Wolfgang was spelled Wolfegang. And I wanted to have a name like the famous music composer, so Wolfe was born. Later, I found out about the sheer volume of books written by authors with the last name wolf, or some variation like mine (Tom Wolfe, Virginia Woolf, etc.). I also really like wolves, no symbolism there. Also I noticed that a bunch of writers had the last name Wells, and I have a friend with the last name Wells, so I wanted it to start with a W. The problem with this is that in a bunch of contests, the list was in alphabetical order by last name, and my stories often went unread. WhiteWolfe32 has been my username on everything. As for my pen name, it has gone all over the place, but I've never published anything under any of them except this one.

Another user that I might use in the future is TheDarkNight. In school, I used to see people leaving notes on the whiteboards (follow XXX on instagram, be happy, my birthday is today, etc.) And I decided that I wanted to leave a bunch of notes everywhere. I'm pretty sure this was just after the Batman movie came out, so I said, "Hey, let's be batman." So TheDarkNight was born. And I haven't really used that anywhere but at school. I decided really early on that my messages would be words of encouragement and poetry, etc. So that happened. That's pretty much my entire story.

I actually got a complement for one of these notes (that was written on the board) and I was so happy after... so now I just do it whenever I see a whiteboard.

My name is “Final_Stands” because my best friend’s grandfather was an airman during WWII and I am obsessed with outnumbered battles that are won by the unfavored. These are such as: King Arthur’s final stand and the 300 Spartans versus the 10000 Persians. His grandfather used to tell these stories about constantly taking “final stands” in every battle he fought. Here is a story I will tell in third person:

Jack. Let’s call him Jack. He was an airman - although he never revealed in which military section/division. He was a Corporal and after witnessing the start of the 2nd World War, he was devastated by both the start of a war and what Hitler was doing. By chance or fate, he was in Pearl Harbor doing some military routines when Japanese bombers and airplanes attacked. He said that he saw the USS Arizona, USS Oklahoma, and USS Pennsylvania sunk at different times from above. He watched from a tower, but he barely survived, because his friend tackled him onto the floor before the bullets came running down. That didn’t mean they were bulletproof. He got shot twice (grazed on the arm and a bullet lodged in his other arm), none fatal, but all the same, they were injuries. His final stand in the battle was running (he called it foolish patriotism) straight for a machine gun on a rooftop and began firing. There was so much smoke the Japanese didn’t even notice it. He told us that he was the worst shot in the world, but he managed to shoot down a bomber and damage a few others. This was his final stand at Pearl Harbor. He is, and will always be - an unsung hero, but awfully brave.
