What I meant was that the owner of the site has free speech - if the owner of ff.net doesn't want NC-17 stuff, then they've got the right to keep it off. It's like what they say about religion, freedom of speech also includes the freedom to say shut the fuck up.

So far I've only got two other pseuds, and I'm thinking of more, because I've just gotten this delightful email suggesting that instead of my normal crappy style, I imitate this other writer, who just also happens to be me. I could start the most pointless flame war ever, even scarier than the fight about Xena's methods of sanitation.

BWAH!

Okay, that's funny.

That's excellent.

I want to start a flamewar between myself and me, but I fear I would only amuse myself and no one else. And flaming yourself in private e-mail just doesn't have the same frisson.

Hmm. Well, a lot of fannish people seem to consistently confuse me with Dana (not that I mind, heh) or think that we're the same person.

Sometimes I amuse myself by thinking about how screwed-up a person a Dashriftna would have to be in order to pull it off.

Well, that kinda works out well for me, since I get to be temporarily cooler than I am.

But yeah, *that's* the twisted part. (Considers changing pseud to Dashriftna.)

Someone once accused me of being Shrift because my site is hosted on Shriftweb. I can only *dream* of being so cool. But I don't slounge nearly as well as Shrift.

And I don't hide my internet identity... I just... it just sort of happened. I never expected to have so much overlap between the other part of my online life and the Buffistas. Anyone who wants to know who I am can look at my profile and there is the pseud for all to see.

As for the "new" name Consuela, well, that's in response to all the people who were apparently calling me "Sue-Ella" in their heads for the last 2 years. Since Suela is derived from Consuela, and is a legitimate college-age nickname, I'm not going to feel bad about it.

Just, um, have mercy on the other Connies around here, and call me Consuela or Suela or Hey! You with the Dog! or cofax ... *grins*

Huh. I always said it as rhyming with Layla in my head and I figured I'd end up being corrected because it was really something altered or Welsh and obvious to all those truly educated.

Yeah? Ha! Who?

It amuses me greatly to see things like this. Because I already do an insane amount of fannish crap, and I don't understand how people could think I'd have the time to construct alternate identities.

Someone on ATF, when I posted there last spring to scold them for badmouthing Maayan for being French and having opinions.

I've since given up: I don't like that place and I no longer care what they think. And the demand that the Save Farscape Team must give up its anonymity in order to have any credibility on the campaign makes me want to bite nails and spit them at people. Not everyone has the ability to post publicly on fannish topics under their full legal name, folks. Feh.

Who in the hell would know who I am on ATF? I'm just saying. I've never been an active participant in X-Files fandom, except for one still unfinished Spike/Krycek story.

Unless, of course, I have a sock puppet that secretly writes X-Files fic and causes mucho trouble.
