It's more of an annoyance to me when an original character name is used for an online handle, particularly if they're currently using said character in something they're writing whether it is fan fiction or original fiction and submitting it online for viewing. It's hard to get over and through a story if every time the character is brought in I'm thinking about the person who is writing it. Plus, it just screams 'Self Insert'.
It's kind of funny though that you brought this up when the 'Writer's Block' question is 'How did you choose your Live Journal username? Is there an interesting story behind it?'
