Privacy of authors

[Guest]

If you write a story that is published, and you use a 'pen name', what is the guarantee of the site owners to the person's privacy. In other words, if the site authors choose to publish a story, do they guarantee that they will not divulge any real life info?

Unless your name is GW Bush I think Laurel would protect your secret idenity.

 

[tmuyo]

I dunno, they didn't seem to trip over their words like Dumbya would. pretty sure he/she's clean .

 

[*Lazer*]

I know I think you're GWBush

Why would you have to give your RL info to a site owner?
You don't have to do that here or at the other places to which i've submitted erotica in the past.

1. Just write your story. (Proof it, too. Better yet, if you're submitting it here, have one of the Lit Volunteer Editors proof it for you. I recommend Weird Harold or KillerMuffin.)
2. Utilize a free, anonymous email account from which you send and recieve email.
3. No real info is transmitted to/from the story site in this way, unless someone is *really* digging. Are you that famous that you'd worry about someone *really* digging? (Didn't think so. Not many of us are.)

Exactly. If you check the author sign-up page, you'll see that we don't require a real first or last name to submit a story - only a username and a functional email address.

You never can tell

You know, cym, you might be surprised at who is here.

The site owners have never revealed, published, hinted at or in any way engaged in discussion of an author's identity in the years I've been at Ltierotica, which is pretty much ALL the time Literotica's been in operation.

They have, however, come into my apartment in the middle of the night to eat spaghetti and watch Infommercials. Lawsuits are pending.

Just to be clear, Dixon, there's a big difference between spaghetti and Spaghetti-O's&#8482.

I believe the Nanny-Cam security tapes will bear me out. A sieve was plainly in sight, and a jar of Ragu with Meat Flavoring was found in a nearby 7-11 trash bin. See you in court.

I surprise easily, darlin'.
I probably would indeed be surprised.
Delighted and astounded, too, and all that with just the regular ordinary (uh huh, like any of us are ordinary) Literoticians.

No, you can't leave because just like mediaeval nobility, we require a "whipping boy" to vent our frustrations. You fulfilll the role so well.

Welll one thing I do know for certain is that you are anything but ordinary. I'm not even certain about "normal"

Ohhhh... lucky you.

[KillerMuffin]

But, KillerMuffin is my real name. Really. They teased me abominably in school. "Killer killer two by four, she lay you flat out on the floor..." It was horrible. Really horrible. I was accused of being a Muffin. "Muffin muffin, bo buffin, banana fanana fo fuffin, me my mo muffin, mufffin." I cried myself to sleep day in and day out and vowed that when I turned 18 I would change my name to HappyBagel.

I didn't, instead I bravely shouldered on in this cruel cruel world, known as KillerMuffin. It's a handicap on a resume, I tell you what.

 

[Never]

Poor Killer.

 

[KillerMuffin]

The worst part was whenever someone asked me if they could put their cream on my muffin. No, wait, that was lit's java chat...

 

[Never]

Or they ask you if your muffin's a killer.
Or if they can eat your muffin.

 

[KillerMuffin]

*looks suspiciously at Never*

Was that you? Hard9inch was forever asking me that. One reason I ditched it for this place.

Nah, Never would Never be so crass.

 

[Laurel]

LOL!

KM and Never, you need to take your act on the road.

 

[Always]

Laurel will keep your name secret, you don't need to worry. Hell, you don't even NEED to give a name.
