In topic: "How did you get your username?"

"Bandersnatch Wrangler" is the name I use on fanfiction sites, but it actually started when I got my first Facebook account. I decided I didn't want them to have accurate user info for me, so I claimed I was born on Elephant Island, Antarctica; studied at the School for Scandal, and worked as a bandersnatch wrangler for Borgin and Burkes. (This was in the Before Times when I still made HP references.)


The Bandersnatch is a monster made up by Lewis Carroll. It turns up in "The Hunting of the Snark," and in the poem "Jabberwocky" in "Through the Looking Glass." About all we know about it is that it is fast, very aggressive, likes biting people and has a long neck. Oh, and it is frumious. "Wrangler" rather than "keeper" is just there for the assonance.
