I think erinaceous just wants to put us in a lab and do experiments on us.
She does have a rather Fred vibe. Do the AtS writers know her?
I'm verra fond of my user number so that would be shiny.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
who knows how many lurkers know all about me
Knowing the world of academic journal publishing, probably far more than would ever read about you through journal articles.

Is there any chance that our quotes would end up in a publication of any kind, like an academic journal of linguistics or anything?
This is possible, although not incredibly likely. It would be probably a computational or corpus linguistics journal, and would most likely show up as a Key Word In Context, or KWIC. So if the word was 'foamy,' for example, 'foamy' would show up in the middle of fewer than twenty words, like this:
and Legolas is incredibly foamy, and now PERSONAL NAME's going to kill me with her pinky finger
I can't imagine that there would be any more context than that. There would probably be at least five and maybe as many as thirty OTHER 'foamy' quotes around yours, as well.

Would Legolas need to opt in?

Yeah, true.
And thanks, erin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
erinaceous, that's the ONE context you can keep my name in for.
eta: though now I'm trying to imagine true anonymity, which would require MARTIAL ART NAME all over the place, and it's making me laugh.

Hee. No, fictional characters will be included without any effort on their part. I'll have to ask what they do about that, though!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and Legolas is incredibly foamy, and now PERSONAL NAME's going to kill me with her pinky finger
The PERSONAL NAME change will unforunately eliminate the possibility of "Nilly" entering the language as a verb. Ditto with "meara" and "mejia" and "anya."

Unless the deleter only deletes it when it's being used as a name.
