I'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.

Such fiction of mine as there is up (most of it was written well pre-Internet) is under one pseudonym or another. I just always liked keeping one thing separate from another, I suppose. I do just come up if you Google my real name (so do both my brothers, and even my sister, once), but only just. And one of those is a photo, but, mercifully, a very blurry one.

I think it's a precaution. You know, if you get a Big, Important, High-Level Job - or even just a regular shite one - and you don't want your colleagues Googling for you one day when everyone's bored out of their minds and finding the slash fic.

Requires too much memory. I'm x over here, and y over there, and if it's a Tuesday and the wind's blowing nor'notheast, I'm z. Too confusing for my fragile little mind.

*shrugs* I mean, yeah, that's true, but... Right now, Big, Important, High Level Job can kiss my well-rounded butt. The likelihood of me gettignt hat job is so slim that I couldn't be bothered going back and changing my email address.
