Many of us, when we go on-line, choose pseudonyms for ourselves. I made the name "Rhyader", thinking I was being original. I later found that I was not; and there are even some strange coincidences. (See "about the name".) I came to like the name, and the fact that some people know me as "Rhyader", and call me by that name. Indeed: are not the names that we choose for ourselves just as much ours - perhaps more so - as the ones that were given to us? And so, I call it an "autonym", not a "pseudonym", and use it all worlds. I am Chris Wilcher. I am Rhyader. Welcome to my little corner of the web.
