AUTHORS WHO ARE LYING TO YOU.
CONSPIRATOR #1: Oscar/Richard Lawson.
Actually, for a while I *did* have a pseudonym. For a brief period I posted
under the name "Tendo Nabiki". I even wrote a fanfic (a lemon involving
what amounts to rape) under that pseudonym. I did it to see if anyone would
read my fanfic even if my name wasn't on the byline (a. al. Stephen
King/Richard Bachman).
The response was very positivie, making me feel good about my writing
abilities. Unfortunately, I began to get a bit carried away with my
pseudonym and eventually killed her before I could do serious damage.
The draw of anonymity is quite powerful. It can be quite liberating,
sometimes too much so. Just wander into your average AOL chat room to see
what I mean. :)
Always your,
Tendo Nabiki (aka Richard Lawson)
