As some of you may, or may not, have noticed, DA recently rolled out the ability to change your username if you are a Premium member!  You can do this without having to move all of your work with all past links to your old name linking to your new name automatically.  I have been hating on my Ladydove7 name for years now because it's just not who I am anymore.  It sounds so much like the teen I was when I first started this account here based on my AOL name.  Oh, I'll probably still answer to 'Dove' or 'Lady', for those special few who will remember Ladydove7 in your heart of hearts, but I'm glad to put this old username behind me.  I trust it will also be easier to remember, as well, for those who know my real name.

'ladydove7' is now 'angelasasser'!

Now I am just me.  No lame username with numbers that sounds so dated.  Nothing to tie me down to a genre.  Claiming this name FOREVER so there may never again be another Angela Sasser on DA, bua ha ha!

I've already changed ladydove7-artisan and ladydove7-stock to =angelasasser-artisan and =angelasasser-stock thanks to generous subscriptions from friends, fans, and family.  Now, I'm working on getting ladydove7-photos and ladydove7-story on the =angelasasser bandwagon once I can get them upgraded to Premium.

Many thanks to DA for rolling out this new feature! It's saved me from hating my name FOREVER because I was too entrenched to leave it.  Now, it's just a matter of keeping up with everyone else who changes their name.  If people keep changing their usernames to their real names, that will actually help me in remembering who all of you are in real life.  Just a thought!

Good luck to all of you considering the name change! It's a scary thing when you've been attached to that name for 10+ years.  I did it because I wanted to sound more professional and not be tied down to any genre.  I'm curious to know why you others might be considering your name change.  Also, if you have changed your name, tell me what your old one is so I will remember!
