Location Explanation
Why did you choose the place you entered in your location box, the first time you visited the Chatterbox? If your location has changed, why did you do it?
My current location, "Schokolade", is the name of my imaginary country. It lies between Xanadu and Eldorado, far of Faerie, but much nearer it than the Land of Nod. (The last isn't near as interesting.) Random bonus points for anyone who knows what "Schokolade" means! ;D
At first my location was "The New World." I changed it to "Rivendell", because that sounds more geeky. And then I got tired of that, so I have this. Very thorough and comprehensive explanation, I know. I look forward to the possibility of hearing your anecdotes! :)

I chose my location because I am a NightWing. They are a species of dragon from Wings Of Fire. But my friend and I made a fanfic of WOF, and I chose to be a NightWing. So, it just made sense to make me be in the NightWing Kingdom. At first, I would change my place around, like I was flying from place to place. I.E. "NightWing Kingdom", then "travelling", then "SeaWing Kingdom", and so on. Now, it's just easier to say NightWing Kingdom. But, when in a SI or Ski Lodge, I will change my location to wherever my SI character is or where the ski lodge is. (I'm pretty sure everyone does that...)
So yeah. Mine's not very interesting. :)

Mine has to do with my name. I don't post it every time, but when I do, it is pretty self explanatory.
Also, Schokolade means chocolate!

My first (and only) recurring location, which I no longer use, was "Where Bluebirds Fly."
It just makes sense.
As a funny aside, St. Owl once pointed out that my name is a preposition(al phrase)! Oy!

Well, when I first came onto the CB, it was on Kyngdom. I posted as shadow of everywhere, so I put 'everywhere' in the location box.

@ Embers in the Ashes:
did you choose that name because it's cool, or because you read (and liked!) the book "An Ember in the Ashes"? I read the book, and it's really good. The second book, A Torch Against the Night, isn't as good. (Weird question, I know. Sorry :) )

I chose my location to be that, cuz I LOVE the flash. Occasionally I will be with Kara, then sometimes I will be ganging up with Arrow, Felicity, and dig (Lil' dig, no actually he is a really tall guy lol) Sometimes I will be wit Cisco Ramon, thinking about geeky stuff, then I might be with Barry, doing de erectile work at the police station. I might also be with Catlin Snow, doing test runs of Barry's blood. Anyway, if you are not a DC fan, you won't get ANY of this. Also you might think I am Esquire of Rohan, but I am not. Also I am sometimes with Iris West-Allen (Barry West-Allens fiance/wife/ect.) Doing my work, writing for Central City Picture News. Okay you know what, I am like just am EVERYWHERE.

I chose fairyland because my name is the name of a fairy from a kid's TV show. But it also represents a lot about me, my imagination, my dreams. :)

I LOVE THAT QUOTE!!!!!!!!!!
Also! Schokolade sounds a LOT like chocolate.

I don't put my location in the location box anymore, but when I first joined as Leafpool, my location was "The forest" because, Leafpool...cat...Warriors...yeah. But now I don't use it anymore and I'm just Leafpool!
I do, however, use the location "The TOP of the forest" when I'm topping things. Because...why not?

I put my location as Idaho, because I named myself after Zeus from the Michael Vey series. (Why, I don't know. I don't even really like the series.) Zeus didn't technically even live in Idaho, Michael did, but I wasn't sure where Zeus originally came from... California? I chose Idaho because it was vaguely connected to Zeus.

At first my name was Tuxedo Kitten as you all know, and I had Bag End in the location box. Once I changed it to what I have now, I decided it would be more fun to have a different fandom as my location. Playing Xbox is fun (even if I don't have one) and Marvel is also one of my favorite fandoms. The superhero was obvious Hawkeye's my favorite character. So it all came together to form what I have now! Esquire of Rohan playing Xbox with Hawkeye.

I put "the Milky Way" as my location because it makes sense for there to be nebulas in our galaxy. However, I wanted my age to be "older than the stars" because nebulas are where stares are born (look it up) unfortunately the box isn't big enough so I put in 1 Million.

These are all so interesting! Thanks for your time. I've been wondering about Esquire's location for some time now. ;D
Elementgirl gets the Bonus Points! "Schokolade" is "Chocolate" in German.
