So like, 3 years ago, barely a few months into my joining the worm fandom, there was this poll blog of "best fictional new englander," right. And cause worm takes place in new england, right, I was like, submitting worm characters to the poll blog in hopes of getting them to win. And like. they were taking submissions in a specific format, and so i'd call the characters "Lisa 'Tattletale' Wilbourn," or something. And I wanted to submit Victoria Dallon as a character, right? But I wasn't sure what to call her, since neither the moniker "Glory Girl" or the moniker "Antares" is necessarily more popular than the other in the fandom. So, I was like... "Well, she's a hero in both circumstances, which is like a kind of cop, so what if I just call her "Victoria 'Cop' Dallon?"" It was intended as a joke mostly (who would actually think her name was Cop?), but the person who ran the blog took it at face value and submitted her to the tournament as "Victoria 'Cop' Dallon." it was official and everything. So then a bunch of people's first exposure to worm was that they saw "Victoria 'Cop' Dallon."
It was the talk of the town for a good long while. I didn't want to come out as the person who did it both out of a sense of embarrassment, and partly just because it's more fun to imagine it sprouting from the worm zeitgeist like athena from zeus than imagining that one particular person did it. Also I was an egg at the time which probably played a role--didn't want to take credit as the guy behind it, you know?
