I got persuaded by ysabetwordsmith to make a Dreamwidth account for a possible upcoming event promoting my Five Moments of (Nonsexual) Intimacy fic form. So here I am.

I have multiple identities online. I don't yet know whether I want to openly combine them here, but they're not that hard to connect. And since my Pillowfort post about the fic form is under my Arkylie Killingstad public persona, it makes no sense to be coy about that, especially as questions might arise about whether I (Zaniida) swiped the idea from "her" (Arkylie) when they're really both me.

I specifically chose an AO3 pseudonym that's distinct from my normal online identity, because I do delve into dark topics and don't want the unwary to happen across them while looking through my more family-friendly fare. Also, I started Arkylie Killingstad when I realized that I needed a personal public identity that isn't borrowed from my favorite media and thus is entirely my own, without being necessarily connected to my real-life name. So I would hope that the connection to Zaniida stays in fan-friendly spaces and doesn't leak out too much to the world at large.

Anyway! With any luck, I'll be able to set this event up in time, and claim August as the month for creating variations of my fic form ^_^
