I've recounted my experiences with the "literati" username <a href="http://elliterati.livejournal.com/766.html">previously</a>, and now out of curiosity, I just looked up "illiterati," another variation I've been known to use.<br /><br />Yep, <a href="http://illiterati.livejournal.com">more slash</a>.<br /><br />Am I violating some obscure LJ rule by not posting stories about sci/fi characters doing the nasty? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:elliterati:766 2006-10-24T16:13:37Z 2006-10-24T16:13:37Z I've been using the name "Literati" online since 1990. I was a student at U of I, and wanted something that would reflect that I was an English major, and that I loved books.<br /><br />When I signed up for LJ, I noticed that Literati was already taken, but I didn't look to see by whom.
