If you were published under your real name

[KillerMuffin]

Would you tell us here? Give the particulars--such as title, author, etc.? Why or why not?

 

[Chicklet]

I would tell specific people, but I don't think that I would tell the whole of literotica.

My reasons are that I would want my friends and people I trust to know, and for them to go out and buy my book so that I could feel like a best-seller, but I wouldn't want all my stalkers and some of you creepier folks (you know who you are!) to come to my home town and, well, beat me to death with my new novel.

[wildsweetone]

I will be telling a very few people from Litland... ones who I consider friends (and I don't consider friendship lightly by any means) and I will tell them because I will be saying 'thank you' to them.

I'm am not a 'boaster' nor do I actively seek publicity.

edited to addfor crying out loud will ya look at this sig line? rofl

 

[MathGirl]

I've published under my own name, but in an area far, far from erotica. I don't think anyone here would want to read about rare earth element contamination of C-60 nanotubes and the effects on semiconducting properties.

I know that hedges the question. I thought I did rather well in covering it up with bullshit, though.

[Quasimodem]

That all depends upon what you mean by published.

Where I work, they pay me to write my stuff, although outside the business, it is anonymous. Most people think it is the extemporary speech of someone else.

I do publish on free sites under my own name. Someone here at Lit. knows where some of those sites are published, and what my name is.

Where I work, most know that I write on free sites, with the notable except of Literotica.

Was there ever any real money involved, I should probably find myself in need of a sharp lawyer, to convince some judge that what I wrote does not belong to my employers.

Why I wouldn't tell everybody at Lit my real name, and what I have published under it.

You have got to be kidding, no?

 

[gauchecritic]

Anyone who knows anything about my background (I've gone on about it enough) wouldn't even believe my real name, so there wouldn't be much point really.

[MlledeLaPlumeBleu]

Would I tell? Nope.

Hi all

Like MG I have published in my own name, but unlikely that Lit folks would be interested in a kids fantasy blurb, or a tech publication regarding voltage drop and amperage increase causing deterioration of the insulating properties of PVC cable coatings over a long period of time.
This of course is made worse if the cable is surrounded by thermal insulation and no correction factor was applied during circuit design.
Oh and not forgetting the stress effects of over current caused by the use of semi enclosed fuses.

See what I mean, no I won't tell you my name.

[deliciously_naughty]

I would tell "friends" on lit, but not put it out there publically

 

[DarlingNikki]

No, I wouldn't.

D-

Doing the literature search now, dear. Proofed a friend's dissertation for him about growing nanotubes last year.

pops-

you make my heart go pitter patter just reading about fuses and currents.

As to the question:

Yes, I have published in the real world.

And would I tell? I'm with Quais- YGTBK!

PS... doesn't anyone like my new AV?!!

 

[Just-Legal]

Anything that involved my real name would not involve this site.

Why?

My ex partner is currently awaiting trial on rape, assault and battery charges. ON ME.

He is a techno whizz and is on the internet regularly.

He googles my name regularly.

If he pulled this site... he would probably pull my stories as evidence of my "sexual perversion" and use them in the case against me.

My lawyer has advised against using any more than my first name here until the case has gone to trial.

After that... who knows?

Dear Bridget,
You won't find it. Dissertation ain't published yet. Other pubs deals with slightly different subjects. Get outa my literature!
MG
Ps. I haven't figured out your AV. Looks like a couple standing face to face. Also looks like a strip torn out of something. WTF is it?

Downcast.

Think running tights. You know I have been training lately... up to 8 miles.

[Dirty Slut]

I have always used pen names....

Even under my legitmate work I use Pen Names, Nomdeplumes, what have you. I enjoy my privacy too much to let the world media start knocking at my door, and ring my phone for that kind of exposure. It has nothing to do whether or not I post at an erotic site, which as of today, I have. [I don't know how many days it takes for the stories here to be posted, but I'm looking forward to any feedback that I get as I'm aware from all of your posts here that that's what turns your muses on.] In any case, I don't really see the point one way or the other since I don't publish under my real name in any way shape or form. Only those who make out the checks know my real name. LOL

Dear Bridget,
I don't see running tights in your AV. C'mon, tell us.
MG
Ps. Ewwwwww, a fellow runner. I go at least five miles a day.

 

[Guest]

Nyet. I've had a few poems published in poetry/lit journals but I wouldn't give my real name (which I love) here simply because of the exposure to the less than savory reading population I've heard so much about, though encountered in feedback only a few times. That't too bad because exposure on Lit. would, I presume, bring more outside (paying) readers to Lit. authors.
--------------

Bridget: I like your AV, calls to mind some of Matisse's women. Is it your work?

Pops. I too find voltage and amperage talk suggestively kinky; but then my gaze turns to kink so readily. May we discuss wiring in private? All my parts are in working order, just need a bit of a starter switch I think.

[MNGuy]

No, unless I became famous and notorious for some reason. This is my Mr. Hyde side.

 

[fiery_jack]

Considering i use another pseudonym to post stories here at Lit, i think it's unlikely. Besides, what would i do with the yellow spandex and pointed mask if i told everyone my secret identity?

 

[yaspis]

No, no I wouldn't. I have a pesky ex that too googles my name on regular basis. He's not a rapist, and certainly not violent, but he seems to have pretty damn hard time letting go and living his own life. Even without his existance I wouldn't, since I dream about being a real author when I grow up. Besides, my last name has so many Scandinavian umlauts it really would seem weird to non-Scandinavians.

 

[PepperTed]

Muffin,

you do like to throw a good challenge around.

My answer is no.

Although I would like to have my real name attached to my work. Unfortunately there is enough stranger danger with regards to the net, which is a real shame.

I have met some great characters on the boards, and have heard some funny stories, received some great advice, and enjoy the stories... but I still like my privacy...

 

[snooper]

I don't really hide my RW name. If I get into email with anyone, they get it, ands my porn-for-money pseudonym.

My published for money includes Computer Security taxtbook on policy principles and practice under my own name and a slew of BDSM erotica novels under another name which I won't put on here because it ain't allowed.

 

[Star of Penumbra]

I might mention that I was published and what genre, but you'd have to figure out which book on your own.

 

[Madame Manga]

Never having been published (I would define that as advance and royalties on a printed edition) I really can't say. Right now, I think not. But if I were published, my ego might overflow its bounds to the extent that I would collar strangers just to show them my name on the cover of a real book. ;-)

My usual nightmare is getting Googled by a prospective employer. I DID use a version of my real name for a batch of erotic stories on Usenet, eons ago. It was my first account, the Net was an innocent, spamless place, and I didn't even realize that you could make up a pseudonym. ;-) But I've switched to my husband's surname since then, partly in self-defense.

[PAUL C]

my real name

I have told those who have asked or I feel need to know.

Some, like Laurel, even know my contact address.
