About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

Wordshore: I like words. And the shore is often that narrow bit between inhabitable and uninhabitable places. So it feels apt. It's also, coincidentally, pretty close to how some people back in the vale say Worcestershire.
