This page says "Allison Reardon" was another pseuds, so then she would have also written het MSR with this story. Is this pseud matching right? Opinions?--Ratcreature 22:37, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Allison Reardon doesn't ring a bell, but my memory is for shit and she did a lot of jumping around in those days. Which is partly to say -- I'm a little surprised to see the main entry under this name, because in her XF days she represented her legal name to be [real name deleted]. (Like, she had superuser privileges on USENET, under that name, and my understanding of superuserdom is that it was not conferred to just any Tom, Dick, or Voldemort.) Also, I find it kind of funny to read the article as phrased (politely) now, because the only major fact I remember about her is that her name was a pure and unadulturated byword for wank. And do I remember the details (much less have cites to hand)? No! Just the hilarious memory of her wankdom.--Vee 00:17, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, aha, found an in-fandom pseud decode, which says yes, Allison Reardon was the same person. (I don't know if some of those pseud equivalencies constitute outings, i.e. some of them are real names from the lamb-white days of people not knowing about real names being a bad idea on the intarwebs, but for the Allison Reardon verification, it's useful.)--Vee 00:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Er, yeah, that is the site I linked earlier, I just wondered whether there was another confirmation from elsewhere, because I came across it by chance, but it was just one story I could find by that pseud and that was het, and all her other fic with pairings seems to be slash, so I was wary of just adding it based on one site which I know nothing about without having any real basis in my own knowledge. I think the article is under her SGA pseud because that is the latest on the list? I have no clue which if any is a real name myself, or any detailed knowledge of wank, I mostly thought that if the other pseud connection was real it would be interesting for the writing biography as non-slash fiction.--Ratcreature 02:34, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Was she 1/3 of The Krell as well? --Betty 21:03, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

? I don't think she is every pseud. lol. I have no real clue about this Krell you speak of, but according to this wiki (on the Constructed Reality page) The Krell was Killa, Rachael Sabotini, and elynross. --Ratcreature 21:54, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Nope, definitely not the Krell. --Arduinna 22:09, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Ah, okay, I'd somehow remembered the K was for Kass. My bad. --Betty 22:12, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

list of linked names/pseuds

As a heads up, if the linking of the name is undesired, this talk page and its revision history needs editing as well, see above.--RatCreature 11:29, 11 February 2010 (UTC) (AttentionGardeners |because=The page itself and its history was edited for RL name/privacy concerns, but this talk page which shows the same was not, apparently my plain comment above wasn't noticed by the gardener who did the changes, thus this attn notice--RatCreature 20:49, 13 February 2010 (UTC) )

Editing the history for privacy concerns is actually an admin function, not a gardener one, but I'll drop the admins a note pointing them here. Thanks for the heads-up! --Arduinna 21:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Ah. I did not know that, and there is no attention admins template anyway, to be more specific is there?--RatCreature 00:00, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
