CATS is back!

[Dragon Lady]

So, just curious...is everyone okay now with trying to publicly reveal/link writers?

D.A.R.E.'s bio says he's a former writer, so I consider it fair game to guess.

I agree. It wasn't until I noticed that that I felt comfortable chiming in.

i figure i'm pretty harmless since i live in texas. it's not like i can hunt y'all down and stalk you. though i am glad coggers and black sheep revealed themselves to me. and i figured out i'm also online friends with marguerite st. just. and they're all awesome!

I'm pretty sure you know who I am. But I don't know you.

To be fair, LJ, no one was "publicly reveal(ed)" as in, no one had their real name identified. So I go with the second option, and I see no problem whatsoever with that.

TL;DR: Publicly reveal? Don't do it. Link to other 'nyms? Fine.

[Laser Jock]

Hm. You're right, his real name wasn't outed, but to me linking 'nyms (unless the writer has already publicly done so) is another thing that's fair game, but not in public.

[Dragon Lady]

He already did.

The real question is: When reading D.A.R.E. should we be thinking black t-shirts advocating drug education, or Noodle dancing around her pad?

You're just worried someone will find out you used to write as Skippy DeLorean. (I'll never tell!)

[Laser Jock]

He already did.

People were/are speculating about more than just what he disclosed.

I wish.

Good catch. My new justification is: Someone else started it! (But if the Mods-that-be think this thread should be deleted, I'm OK with it.)

Nah, being that self-absorbed wouldn't suit you.

Haha. I was mostly remembering his legendary confidence with fashion and with the ladies. I don't mind not being self-absorbed, though.

I suspect the two (three?) attributes are not unrelated.

I only did it cause the writer in question's new profile said to guess, and I didn't know any more than anyone else, I swear.

Still, you may be right, and if the writer in question is offended, I hereby swear to make that writer a baked good. Let me know, oh writer!

[Dragon Lady]

He's not offended. He was actually worried that he had done something wrong. (I doubt he was too worried, though.) I sent him the link to this thread and he thought it was great fun. He wasn't actually trying too hard to keep it secret.

Though, he might pretend to be if he ever sees this.

[TheBlackSheep]

Ha, he can't fool me now!
