Hey kids, Loon here. I wanted to be one of the cool kids with a snazzy profile, but I also don't want to ramble so I decided what better way to introduce myself than some hypothetical Q&A!

Who are you?

I'm a 20-something Canadian with an applied degree in professional writing. Yes, I've actually taken classes and am trained to do this for a living. Make of that what you will.

Why does your account say you registered back in 2004?

Weeelllll, because I did. Back when I was a teenager, I thought I'd do the fanfic thing, but for some reason I got annoyed at the site's uploading system and quit before it went anywhere. Thus did my account sit around idly for nine years.

LoonRider?

Yes, LoonRider. Way back when, on a forum, I made mention that I was "loony" and someone interpreted that as my wanting to be called "Loon." I didn't really hold on to the nickname, but while I was trying to think of a new pen name for this account, I thought of this one. Not just because of that nickname, but as mentioned, I am Canadian, and Kamen Rider was the show that prompted my return to this place. Also a superhero riding a giant loon would be awesome, don't deny it.

What are your fandoms?

Too many to list. As I said above, Kamen Rider brought me back to this site, and I've been on a tokusatsu kick lately so there's KR Decade, Double, OOO, Fourze and Wizard, plus various Sentai shows (Gaoranger, Gokaiger, Abaranger, Dekaranger, Boukenger, Shinkenger, and Magiranger). I'm also an avid Power Ranger fan and have many animes under my belt. For now, expect toku. For later, who knows.

Your stance on honourifics?

Okay, since I do write for fandoms that are in Japanese, I figure I'll address this. There are exactly three instances where I will use honourifics (-san, -chan, -kun, -neesan, -niichan, etc). They are as follows:
When the honorific is part of the nickname - By this I mean things like Sho-chan (Shotaro) or Jin-san (Jinno) in Kamen Rider Double, or Ei-chan in Gogo Sentai Boukenger. My reasoning here is that the parties are clearly close enough that the shortening of a name is acceptable, so the honorific is part of the nickname, rather than a sign of politeness.
When I feel the name alone looks strange - Okay this one is a bit of a nitpick on my part. The only example I have here is Santa-chan of Kamen Rider Double, because I've tried writing his name as just 'Santa' and it just doesn't jive with me.
When it suits the flow and purpose of the story - This is just a personal author decision. I love the characterization given by the use or lack of use of particular pronouns or honourifics, so if I think adding the honourific (even if I don't use it any other time the character speaks) will help the story, you bet it'll be there.

On a related note, Japanese names. If a name is within dialogue or first-person narration, it was be Surname Firstname. Everywhere else, it will be the reverse.
If I ever choose to include OCs in my tokusatsu or anime fiction, I'll include what pronouns/honourifics they use in the author's notes. As I said, I really like what they say about characterization.
