What's in a name?

Thanks for a great read, whatever name you go by.

Andrew Potter

Keep the words coming, no pics please, and we'll all be very happy!

Andre A

Just keep writing for us!!! I love this series!!

All good my man. Love your work

Z.W.Heald

Great story! Travis or Shirt

Jlaristotle

I saw Travis something in the chapter notification, only realized after reading the chapter, that it was that the author name had been updated. A rose by any other name still smells as sweet

Joshua Osbiston

Hey, you wouldn't be the first to expose themselves online, and you are definitely getting paid more than most to do so! Seriously though, we really appreciate your writing. I look forward to bragging to my friends that "I read that person's stuff when they were still using a pen name!" Kind of like people who brag about being a fan of Richard Bachman before he was "Steven King"

Philip Pleiss

Pants are way overrated, that's why I wear Kilts. And pleasure to make your acquaintance Travis, though if the planet's aligned and we got a chance to share a beer, I'd still call you Shirt lol

Turns out Shirts real name is Jason Asano and the webnovel is just a recollection of his adventures D:

BlueSkyBlackBird

How dare thee reveal thy name, the impropriety, the scandals, the delicious Argy fruit.

Cher, Shirt. . . Does sound similar. . .

Aclys

Wait, are you saying that might now have been the case? Could revealing my real name have turned me into TV's Charles Shaughnessy?

Shirtaloon

GASP, how scandalous!

Jeff Scott

Regardless of your name reveal, you're still the same person.

Jared Preston

Congrats coming out

Cameron C

I saw before that you'd done at least one interview under your real name, was that a preamble to all of this?

Monadologist

Pants are over rated

Zachary Nahrstadt

Letters. That’s what in a name.

TJ Neumee

Exposure is good though, just own it!

Hunter Vook

As long as you keep giving us the wonderful content, you can call yourself any damn thing you want! You have managed to jump into my top ten favorite writers list, and that is quite a feat.

Jeff Peck

Forgive me if I continue to call you shirt in my comments and on discord.

I cant be the only one that didnt know shirtaloon was a pen name..... For whatever reason in my head it was like sting or cher...

Happy to meet you Travis. Thanks for brightening my days.

"The Shirtaloon moniker is going nowhere" ... ... ...That's about as honest as it gets. I'm a bigger fan now my guy!

Jon-Pierre Baptiste

Travis... I expected a lot, but not that

Elvis Malkic

Travis Deverell more like Travis Deverell... I’ve got nothing.

the void

Making more money than most authors could dream about and he's nervous about putting his name on his books. Absurdity!

Justin

Nice to meet you Travis! If this NSW lockdown event ends at least you'll be able to start doing more public events across Australia if you wanted to. But now I have a question: are you "Travis with the Nukes" in the book? Is that character based off you? That would be cool!

Thanks for the awesome story ! I'm so glad to be contributing to you living the dream of all writers... earning a livable wage (or several times that). *wink You're even doing it all through actual people being patrons, legit sales, and even the RR freebie. Congratulations ! Keep On Keepin' On Travis Shirtsman (or whatever the kids are calling you these these days).

C D

I’ll be honest even if people track down what you look like I’ll still picture you as Jason. It’s too ingrained in my head

Enzo Elacqua

Well, you’re lucky. Your actual name is pretty great.

Robert Gunnlaugsson

love your work mate <3

Schuyler Bostedt

Saw it on one of your PDF chapters. I appreciate you stepping out of your comfort zone, you write a kick-ass story.

Aaron

Well-done you, Travis.

Paul Boros

And here I thought shirtaloon was your real name

Apotheosis

Hi Travis!!!! Thanks for writing this awesome story and sharing it with us!!!

loco

No, it just feels that way when I'm revising chapters at 3am

Shirtaloon

Big boy pants suit you, welcome to the realworld (tm) ;)

Björn Marl

Congratulations on going legit and being able to write full time. My brother and I live in different states but when we talk your writing always comes up. Keep up the good work! Also Travis is a fine name, I mean it isn’t like your name is Chad, or worse, Chet.

Kraken

Uses fake name, doesn't wear pants...this is troubling stuff.

You're braver than me. I've been anonymous on the internet since forever and I can't imagine attaching my real name to my (modest) creative work. On the other hand, it's better for you to own the reveal than to have it leak. I want to keep saying Shirtaloon. It's just too good.

Reno

TRAVIS!! TRAVIS!! TRAVIS!! Wait, does this make him T-Shirt? :p

Rahul

Speaking of names, I was reading some previous chapters and I started to think: Why has Jason Never EVER gave the next answer when someone says: "You are Jason Asano" and Jason answers "No, actually, my name is Jhon Smith. For soem reason some mad interdimentional god is trying to convince everyone, me included, that my name is Jason Asano."

Alan Fernando Elías Etcheverria

cool last name though ;)

s476

<3 thanks for trusting us have a good one.

Alexander Dupree

There's no need to harp on Shirt guys, he already lives in Australia. Historically you serve your punishments there. He's still doing his time. Let the man live. 🤭

Zachary Laydon

Coolio

Wesley Fan

Great name! You will always be shirt to us, but you real name is good too.

Matt

So you're telling me you're not a disembodied floating shirt with 20 ethereal hands constantly writing ?! Anyways nice to meet you (again) Travis !

Jesus Nunez

Congrats, nice name

velocibadgery

I do remember feeling a little disappointed when i bought the 1st audiobook that it didn't have your real name...Imma still call you shirt though...

TerrestrialOverlord

Now I don't feel special for knowing. :P

Josh Perlstein

That's a smart business move, in my opinion. Webnovel monikers look strange on bookstore books.

Marvin

Thanks Travis for this awesome work.

*chants* His name is Travis Deverell, his name is Travis Deverell...

Heath Miller

It's all good, Mr. Deverell. I'm sure someone will do something stupid about it, but the rest of us appreciate the gesture.

mistermerf

Thanks I hate it 😛

Draugluir

You’ll always be shirt to me

Dominic Harney

It is taken. Repeatedly. Shirt/ Travis mentioned it in another comment recently. And lamented that he needed a cooler backstory 😉

mistermerf

People pay you $30k a month to write, you'll be fine 💜 You got this

Thomas

Awesome thanks Travis! Sound like a pretty awesome name to me. Thanks so much for your work!

We do not wear pants, only shirts that's why.

Adam Miller

Yes, if Jason has taught me anything, it's wearing pants can really up your game. Love the story, under any name.

Avid_Lemon

Why hello there Travis, do you happen to be interested in pottery? Jk lol. Nice to meetcha…sorta….again? I dunno. Hope your day is coming along swimmingly!

Allastin

Pants off dance off!

So why Shirtaloon instead of Pantsaloon?!? :)

Mark Thorne

That ones on the ama like 5 times of you pretty curious. It’s back a few posts.

You have a shirt already. Was probably time for pants. Or is pantaloon taken?

Christopher Rhoades

Cool, I can add your name on my favorite authors note. Shirtaloon is already there but the intent of the note is that if I ever get amnesia I'll be able to reread all the cool books I read before. Having an actual name may bump it up my memory lost self's to read list.

Sean

Hugs!

Pants off party time!

Nice to meet you Travis!

Greg Lambert

How did you come up with your pen name?

Kevin McGuire

Would have been the best chance to troll everyone and say it was, Thadwic.

Kallem

*Pats shirt on the head*

Brad Thomas

Thank you Travis!!

CptJimmy

Congratulations Travis!

Obsessivehobbyist

Still gonna call you Shirt. And yeah if I could walk around without pants all day I would.

Jake Minor

Huh, I figured you were a Humphrey. ;P

Jon

Such a manly name lol

CoCo-Jin

I mean you wouldn't catch ME attaching my real name to stuff I post online. Can't imagine the stress, good on you though.

Doodlyboy15

Still Shirt to me. :)

Austin Cagle

And we love your writing regardless of the name you use.

Nice to meet you Travis!

Lets stalk him

Landsraad
