Ah, how I love stalking.

Well, not really stalking, per se, but finding out the names of people who try to be anonymous.

And

Dear Dragon Lady,

I love your writing. Like your blog. And your old board writing. And I think baby dragon is adorable. Even with a carrot nose.

Heart,
Gio, who stalks you mercilessly. But not in a creepy way.

Who'd you figure out, C? And Gio, I'll have you know that if any of us wanted to be truly, absolutely, positively anonymous, we could do it. Like LJ. I have to award a gold star to anyone that's figured out his identity without meeting him in person because I don't think it's possible.

Pretty sure you all know my real name.

Sauron likes his anonymity more than I did, though. So play nice.

I find that interesting, as I would have put him as one of the least concerned about people being able to connect him to the Board. Though I'm not sure how that comes across, as I kind of missed out on the stalker phase of Board readership. As I understand it, Tangerine was the top competitor in that arena.

As an interesting side note, (and he may not appreciate my pointing it out) but if you do a search for 'awesome' on the board LJ's nym pops up again and again. He really is that amazing.

Well, I figured out you. And Anomalous.

I got insider info on Laser Jock, but without the help I'd be totally lost; he is very good at keeping things close.

Ditto C4's comment about LJ.
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

Awww. Even though I called you a duck and thought you were Marduk and said you were faux-flirting with bismark? Man. I must be a good writer!

So, I haven't updated my Dragon Lady blog since … [checking] … wow. April last year. So do you mean that blog? Or have you sufficiently stalked me (not hard) and read my real blog?

And I think Dragon Baby is adorable, too. Even though she is teething and needy today. But she started crawling while holding her toys in her mouth today which made me laugh right out loud. And she went to bed at 8 without a fuss. Minus the teething, she's a dream baby. Orange nose and all.

Thinking someone is Marduk is a complement, imo.

Your real blog. Mostly chilly is the downfall of anyone that thinks they want to stay totally anonymous. But honestly? You're probably way easy to figure out. But we still love you!

And C4 is going to be giving Tangy a run for her money soon.

And dragon baby's carrot nose is absolutely adorable.

I think Chilly gave Tangy a run for her money long, long ago. (And no, I don't think chilly is the downfall. I think anyone who takes advantage of her resources and knowledge is the downfall. It's not like she runs around and distributes a list of writers and their real names.) And you're right. I'm not too hard to figure out. I never tried to conceal my identity. Heck, the simple fact that I picked my nym from a real life story… Mostly I was just curious.

*cough*

I figure everyone out myself. Chilly has not really been that helpful. There'd be no thrill in reading a list of people's identities, anyway.

Okay, now I've been revealed as a ruthless stalker. It's like having friends.

I wish someone cared enough about who I am to stalk me... it isn't like it would be hard.

Maybe you have been and no one's seen fit to tell you. Goodness knows I've never approached any of the writers I know.

True. Very few people have ever told me that they've stalked me. But apparently more have than I thought.

PS Chilly, I wasn't talking about your facebook friends list. I was talking about... other stuff. But not facebook friends lists. So you can unblock me now.

Speaking of stalking, I just made a twitter account so I can stalk the gluten free bread people from the farmers' market who also just made a twitter account.
