Inspired by the pronunciation post- what's the origin story behind your username?

Mine was chosen because warm and wyrm sound really similar when you say them, so I thought it'd make a fun username. Also- gotta love some wyrms from fantasy novels.

Hey guysss 👋🏽 ⭐️ For those of you with usernames that the pronunciation is not intuitive or that it’s frequently mispronounced (or for whoever would like to answer this), how do you say your username? :) Mine is literally just what you’d think it is, hahaha.

I’m not talking about fanfic that’s been rebranded and published as its own work, I’m talking about actual canonized fanfiction!

I was ruminating on Star Trek the other day (as one often does) when I realized! My favorite Star Trek book is fanfiction!

Andrew Robinson played Garak in Deep Space 9 and he would write his ideas about Garak’s backstory/biography and read it at conventions. It was published as A Stitch In Time, and thus canonized! (Side note for any DS9 fans, if you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend it!)

Anyway, that got me wondering if there are any other instances people know of fanfiction being canonized? I would imagine it’s probably not uncommon in large franchises like Star Trek, Forgotten Realms, etc. but this was the only instance I know about off the top of my head. Curious if anyone knows about similar examples!
