I personally don't care if they see my real name because it is fairly common in the US, but if I did ever get an original novel published, I probably would stop posting fanfiction online for legal reasons, though I'm sure I would still write fanfiction just to get the plot bunnies out of my head. wink

I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. -- Aunt May, Spider-Man 2
