A quick ego search revealed the following:
There’s the Monstress Zine – each issue is organised around a different monster. Monstress is feminist, anti-racist, queer and trans-positive 'but not directly political' (how does that work???).
Monstress (Candi Pyponte-Le Parc III) is also a DC Comics superheroine and a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
She was a rich kid who gained her abilities (gift of the gab, iron nerves, lightning reflexes…a bit like me, really) and monstrous appearance (including green then orange skin) from a gene-altering bomb on one of her father's sweat-shop type labor farms.
She featured in eleven issues of the post-Zero Hour comics.
Dan Abnett said: ‘When we took over Legion, Monstress was deeply unpopular. We'd regularly get letters and posts demanding we bump her off. We actually liked her, and through 'Legion Lost' we did our best to make her an appealing, interesting character. When she died, tragically…people were suddenly upset!’
Asise from mine, there are other Monstress blogs, for example:
- http://www.monstress.org/ - seems to be about quilting, thinking happy thoughts and cleaning
- http://www.monstress.com/ - showcasing the work of a modern artist who can’t spell
- monstress.blog.friendster.com - a little tricky to get my head around – angsty poetry, corpse bride aspirations and stuff in a language I can’t understand.
And monstress silage triticale is a quality cereal for intensive livestock feeding that is high yielding from spring or autumn sowing and has excellent disease resistance.
So, I’m not Robinson Crusoe.
Do your pseudonyms have interesting associations? Why not do a vanity search and find out?
hmmm .... someone's been googling herself...
ReplyDeleteProcrastination becomes your best friend when you realise you have all this work to do and not enough time to actually do it in :) Hence, the googling of oneself :)
