well, the nightmare scenario happened for someone here: tatelou saw pop_54 driving his porsche this weekend at Newbury with three strapping young boys in the back seat and one on his lap.

Ever since popping my real mug on my avatars, I walk in fear of being accosted while out with my wife (or worse, my kids) by someone who tells me that he's seen my willie on the internet and read my stories and thinks I'm a tosser/a beautiful person.

Who else besides Tatelou has accidentally seen another AH poster here? What did you say to them? Or, like pop_54, have you been spotted in the street becasue of your AV? Did you run?

Or if it's just a secret fantasy of yours, tell me aaallll about it, in detail. Who was it. What were they wearing. How did you get past the initial awkward phase and down to the hot stuff...
 
I have never had such an encounter and probably never will. The only possibility that I know of would be from being in San Francisco and seeing Perdita. If I did, I would probably not say anything to her but when I got back to my computer I would PM her and mention it. For the most part we are unknown to one another although friendships form over these threads and if the individuals want to meet in person, that is their business. There is a certain amount of soul baring going on here and some of us would be very uncomfortable about knowing that a real person knows so much about us.

I think that if somebody recognized me and approached me, I would be allright with it if I was by myself but not otherwise.
 
That's preposterous, Pops wouldn't drive a Porsche. Was Lou wearing her specs?

I see MathGirl all the time at the SF opera, I'd see her more often if I liked baseball. (She makes me feel so tall.)

I will never go to San Jose (not that I ever cared to) now that I know Box lives there. ;)

I have a special fantasy about meeting a certain AH bloke against a certain wall on the grounds of a certain castle in a certain British town.

Thanks to Lit., all the cabbies in SF recognize me now (all five of them); it's good to be famous with cab drivers.

Perdita
 
My god! I don't think I've laugh/cried so hard since last time I laughed/cried so hard!!!!!:D
 
the people I would most like to meet in R/L are Perdita, Dr. M, Colleen (as long as she's not mad at me), Tatalou and CharlieH. Maybe Mathgirl too. --How could I forget Svenskaflicka-- Probably a few others I've forgotten, so don't be offended if I left you off or anything.

My R/L boyfriend recently joined the community, and I feel a little bit like singing Madonna's ''THis used to be my playground'' It just feels different when someone you 'really' know is here.

If I saw (or thought I saw) Perdita, I would *have* to say something. I would sure try to be discrete- but I could't let the moment pass, no way no how.

One time I saw a girl on the bus that I thought resembled Chicklet. (But I dont think she lives anywere near by me.)

Ever just look around a group of people and wonder if one of them could be Pure, or Box or Shereads or someone else you've been talking to anonomously on-line?

No need for discretion, Sweet; I'd love to meet you too. :rose:

No, but now I'm scared :p

Sweet, I am laughing cos I am very shy. In fact I'm near to agoraphobic. But you I'd feel fine with. P. :)
 
I'm almost certain that EL has been in my pub on Sunday nights for the last month or two, but she's never said anything so neither have I.

Joe. I've paid you one on.

Yep, bloody big grin he had on his face, too. :D

(See the Brit thread for more about this, btw, and to find out if I really did see him. ;) )

I've said this here before, but I'll say it again... I got recognised about three months ago. The gasman came to service my boiler (seriously!!!), and he was giving me wierd looks. He seemed friendly enough, so I wasn't too worried. Anyway, he got on with the job and when he finished he just came out and asked me if I was a member of Literotica. I said, "Yes." And, he said, "I knew it! You're Tatelou, aren't you?" A few embarrassed looks from me and he said, "Cool," and that was about it. Off he went to his next job. Freaked me out a bit, but, I gotta admit, it also made me smile. :)

I have seen two other AH posters, too, but neither of them were accidental. :D

Lou ;)

P.S. Sweet, you are very sweet! I'd love to meet you, too. There's loads of people here I'd love to meet, all too numerous to mention.
 
It's never happened because of a posting here, but then I've not been posting here very long and rarely use my own pic anyhoo.

But I used to post on a music-related site for a band called Suede and met several people at gigs who knew me from that site by my posting name as I had my photo in a section for regular members of the chatroom there. I even had a brief and very enlightening fling with one of them. *evil smile*

We met in person for the first time at Piccadilly Station in Manchester and I carried a pair of silk daffodils, sticking out of my back-pack to identify me. That one was planned, but other people have come up to me since, at shows, and asked if I was a regular on Suedeland.

It is quite bizarre.
 
Not from the AH, but from Lit. My handle "Liar" is so commonly used in all kinds of circles, both in RL and other net places, that one of my local friends asked me a little while ago (somewhat translated):

"Hey, do you post your poems on the net?"

"Yeah, why? Wanna read them?"

"Well... what's the URL?"

"www.literoti..."

"Ah-hah! I thought that had to be you. What are you doing on a porn site?"

"Writing poems and reading porn. How about you?"

"Same thing. Sans the writing."

I have bumped into a few actually. A few were friends who at one time or another stumbled onto the site and found something I had recently posted. I have a pic on my profile so I just admitted when asked, yep that's me.

One other was a bit more scarey. My mother in law found the website because I had been visiting there and lit was in her pull down addresses then. WHOOPS. She did already know I was a big perv and sent me a little message about a couple of stories. It made the next family get together a little strange, but then she pulled me aside and asked when the next story was due out lol.

As to one point made here, my wife does know I write on here and she approves. Hell, she actually encourages another creative outlet so I don't bug her for sex all the time. :D But like I always tell her, if I can't be doing, I may as well write about it.

There are a few on here I'd like to meet, a few I'd be a bit unsure about. If I recognize some one from here I'd just say hello and keep going on my way unless they wanted to sit and chat sometime.
 
Never happen.........

While it would be very fun to meet many authors, the practicality seems farfetched.

I floated a balloon about a "lit author" conference. While several said they would travel the world to such a conference, many indicated a reluctance to be identified in rl.

I understand that! I am not sure how my peers in business would react to my participation in an environment that is outside the norms of society. I enjoy it, it fills a need, plus I get to write and submit stories. So self gratification comes from this place.

But it is not for everyone! I would think that actual pictures of oneself is gratifying in and of itself, but what about the looks, whispers, and even comments that may come from others that because of childrens school, workmates, etc. that get raised in the wrong situations.

While fun, I continue to absorb the white box of the faceless, verbose few.

I think it's simple mtnman2003, if their are whispers and things. If they know you from this site alone well that means they were reading and looking anyway lol. No one is forced onto this site, so I would probably be proud to say hello to another person when recognized because it means they read porn too.

I will confess, I have told my bosses and a few co-workers because we have a very friendly environment and they are all naughty people too.

I just saw Tatelou and MathGirl's Aunt's Beagle in the Piggly Wiggly.

Elvis and Kurt Cobain were with them.

Huh? The whatly whatly?

I've been down the beach all day with my doggy, but he's not a Beagle, he's a Border Collie.

Hmmm... maybe my thought projections are working.

Lou ;)
 
I met with my psychologist and she says you are all a figment of my twisted imagination.
