I want you to name names so I know if I'm recognizable, coalie!

That might deanon me, sorry.

The thing is - this only works of you're very familiar with someone's body of work. Like, I've read maybe a handful of astolat's fics; I'm sure she has a distinctive style but I wouldn't be able to recognize it. But if I've read 20+ works by an author because I like them, I'm attuned to recognize that style. I'm know there are people who recognize my style from being guessed while my works were anon, but I'm definitely not a BNF.

Genuine question: how would it deanon you?

Are they prolific but only write in one microfandom that you also mostly write/read in?

It sounds like you’re talking about a BNF (to you) that writes in a lot of different fandoms and is consistent in how they write, which seems impossible to deanon you. TDC fic may be samesey (in a good or bad way) but since she has written in like 100 fandoms across 500 fics, how in the hell would anyone know that it’s secretly you, ao3 user becky, that is on coal talking about them?

Naming a single author wouldn't deanon me, but posting a laundry list of my favorite authors might. Probably not to the general coal population but at least to the authors.

And like I said, they're not BNFs. I like TDC's work, but I haven't read enough by them that I would recognize them.

NA

So you're concerned that the authors might, what? Find out you post on coal? Find out you like and recognize their work? What's the outcome you're concerned about here?

Anyway, I think for the purposes of this conversation, just one or two names would suffice.

Find out that I'm talking about them on coal, which they might not appreciate (I know I wouldn't). So I'm not going to do it other than in a vague general way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh yeah that makes sense. I was thinking like your top/random sampling of 1-3. A whole list would be overkill/deanon even if it was a bunch of big multifandom BNFs lol
