[skippercollecto]

My Internet name, which I use for everything I participate in, is skippercollector. Usually girls immediately know what it means, but it puzzles guys. Skipper is one of Barbie's younger sisters, and Skipper's been my favorite doll since second grade. I'm talking about 1968, when I got a blonde Twist N Turn Skipper for Christmas. Although I own lots of Barbies and Kens, my collection mainly focuses on Skipper and her friends. Unfortunately, in some of these discussion groups, the name has too many characters, which is why you'll sometimes see me listed as skippercollecto (no R on the end).
My Battlestar Galactica fan fiction name is Tatiana, which I came up with in the early 80s when I joined some fan clubs. I have always liked Russian history, which is where I borrowed the name from.
And as for my given name, it is Mary Ann Elizabeth Wernke.
