out_thereI'm still vaguely thinking about changing my online name. It's a thought that's occured to me a couple times over the last few weeks. I tend to list my stories under, basically, my real name.
Not that I expect anyone to be bothered googling my name, but...
Yeah, total vague worry. (I think it's just excess exam stress.) I could change my name, but it would mean changing my site, and contacting about four or five different archives to change it there, and maybe double checking all competitions/challenges that I've responded to. Which would be a lot of work but the thing that makes me stop is that I'd need to change my email address too. Otherwise it's still damn obvious.
I like my email address. I don't change email addresses easily or wantonly. So, yeah, I don't think I'll be changing my name.
All the same, this led to me googling it. Huh.
I think it's a rec (in Chinese?) for my Schindler's List fic. Huh.
Mind you, I also found out that two of my fics were nominated for the Josh/Sam award for the Jeds. Huh again. Well, considering that I never vote in that contest, it shouldn't be surprising that the nominations surprised me. Um, that did make sense inside my own head.
Okay, I think I'd better stop typing before I say anything even more stupid.

Example: The war brings out the nasty side of man.
Personally, I think you meant "man" as in "race of man". In the translation, it became the gender man.
Other than that, heck, even the chinese version read really well! Girl, when your work has been translated into anonther language, you know you rule! :)

good luck on the exams!!
