FYI: public and less public spaces

[hedda62]

Just to be absolutely clear: obviously I have no problem with broadcasting my real name in my fannish spaces of DW, LJ, and Tumblr. I'm less thrilled with anyone directly linking back to those fannish spaces (including AO3) from the public spaces of my author website, Facebook, and Twitter. If anyone should want to leave a comment there saying something like "I love your fanfic so I'm sure I'll love your book!" [/modest] I don't mind; I'd just prefer that you don't provide a direct example of, you know, E-rated Finch/Reese. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

Better to say that here before anyone does that sort of thing, though I doubt it's likely.

I think it's always good to know how connected anyone wants their ficcish life with everything else. I was planning to recommend you to a vaguely fannish friend and did wonder whether or not to mention the fic side of things.

I guess it would depend on how fannish and whether we share fandoms, but I really wouldn't mind.

I suspect this will eventually end up being a lost cause -- unless, of course, you are obscure enough that only people you know personally read your books.

I'm still mostly in that category, and I've been outed at least once that I know of.

I'm sure it will eventually, but might as well ask people here who understand what it's like to hold to it for the moment.
