Getting real...

[phyncke]

I guess in light of the QAF thing and that issue, I should get real but I don't reveal all that many details that can actually pinpoint me online as I don't believe in that. I am an event planner, fan fic writing, elf-Tolkien loving kind of person. I try not to link with my actual identity so as to keep my slash writing tendencies away from my FB account and the real world. I don't feel that I really misrepresent myself as I am Phyncke and Phyncke I am. I am a middle aged female from the Bay Area. That is about all you are going to get. Along with my thoughts and feelings as expressed here in this journal. I have dabbled in the Terminator fandom but always used my journal constructed name as my pen name.

Not very dramatic but I am not making people up. That takes a lot of energy that I don't have. We all have a story about people that have done this and I am sure that it will happen again. This is the nature of the internet where people can use smoke and mirrors and be who they want to be and not who they really are. I guess that is the fantasy.

Anyhoo. This is it, my getting real post. This is it, that's all you get. :P

I think someone else who is not on your flist would have posted about it. Someone in the Queer as Folk fandom passed away and it came out that she was posting fiction as two authors and had created two "people" online. So she created these fake identities and was maintaining them for years and people believed that they were real people etc. Happens all the time, I am sure but it just came out recently. That is it. That is what all the hubbub was about. Yeppers. I am sure there are people who are lying about themselves online...you never know.
