yikes. Well. All that data certainly puts some things in perspective about her.
Keeping yourself hidden is so difficult. I mean, I have gotten a little bit less careful about it now that I'm not actively reviewing video games (the shit I got via emails for not liking one FF game -- and I'm sure you can guess which one -- is a big reason my paranoia lasted as long as it has), but if I ever do get published and have to do the Visible Author Brand thing, I'm going to end up creating a whole "me" that is that author-self under that pen name just to make extra sure the SEO is thoroughly seasoned. I know I can't do a complete and perfect wall, but yikes. (At the end of the day I care more about keeping this ID separate from my wallet name than I would an author persona, just because, well, video game fanboys--and I use the word advisedly--are just fucking like that and I play online games with this handle.)
