Nom de Guerre

[Clare Quilty]

I'm curious if anyone posts their stories under a different Lit name than the one they use in the forums?

 

[oggbashan]

I do and I don't.

Most are under Oggbashan.

Some are under jeanne_d_artois.

Fag-Ash Lil hasn't written any yet. She's too busy wandering around scrounging cigarettes.

I hadn't thought about the matter. Is the use of a female name considered a tactic to get better reception for, say, a lesbian story?

Just wondering.

A female name gets more reads and more feedback but some of it is 'inappropriate'. A good looking AV helps get both.

I have another nom de plume with two or three prose-poems, but most of what I write is posted under this name.

I didn't post those poems under a different name for any reason other than sheer boredom. It wasn't any sociological experiment or anything.

I never got much inappropriate 'feedback'. I think my stories and poetry intimidate most of that particular cross-section of readership.

Perhaps it was Jeanne's naked Yoga pose that did it. Her current AV isn't quite so explicit.

Oh, so now I am intimidating...

 

[Clare Quilty]

My primary reason for posting under a nom de plume is that I would find the nature of Lit's feedback system to be an inhibiting factor to the free expression of sometimes unpopular opinions on the boards. The potential for backlash would seem to be significant, and I prefer for my stories to sink or swim solely on their own merits.

Naked yoga! That sounds liberating.

Because my poetry sucks sooooooo bad... i started the ferociouskittycat nick so I could post poems with that and leave this nick for my erotic horror.

Funny, they know it's me LOL
