I have vague memories in the 1980's of other people using a contraction of my surname at my first Alma Marta and I did a very early story line, (kind of earlier fan fiction) set in the "near future"
A date we have already passed 
called "Return of the Sticks" a kind of earlier version of my Mystical Realms Seasons one to five.
I also did IIRC "Karate Sticks", Resurrection of the Sticks" and another one which may have been "The Sticks Rides home" I will have to try and hunt through a load of 3.5 inch discs to see if I still have any copies.
But I digress
I was using some kind of nickname as "The Sticks"in 1990 and then on ICQ when I used to have it installed, but when I signed up to various forums I dropped the "Definite article" and just used
Sticks which is just a contraction of my surname, so why did I just ramble on about my earlier fan fiction work
Must be getting senile in my dotage
