Gladkova has requested that others not publicly link hir fannish identity to hir legal name:
"While it's not hard to figure out who I am, what my fannish identity is, I would appreciate it if people did not announce the connection too much. I'm not too fussed about keeping the two strictly separate, and will sometimes link from the fannish journal to this one, but I would appreciate it if the degree of connection between the two identities were left in my control."[3]
