anon memes

[terabient]

does anyone know the proper netiquette for reposting stuff you've written for an anonymous kinkfic meme?

like, if you've already filled a request and posted it anonymously, is it considered bad form to 'out' yourself by posting it on a personal journal or website?

(hamimifk, would you know? you know a lot more about these kinds of things than i do...)

Oh, I tend to out myself ASAP. Mostly out of a paranoia feeling of others stealing my work (everyone has their irrational moments). So I out myself either by 'accident' on the anon meme or just go right ahead and post it to my journal/FF.net/wherever with the explanation that it was written for 'Such and such anon kinkfic meme' by me.

I've seen a few others who go and post their anon pieces to their journals, though not very often. So, no, I don't think it's bad netiquette to out yourself on an anon piece. More of a matter of choice. So long as you wrote it, you can do whatever you want with it. ^_^

thanks! i never considered the possibility of somebody else claiming my writing as their own, tbh... :0

(although for a variety of reasons i doubt that will happen in this case! XD )

still not sure if i'll actually repost using my name, just because...well, i probably wouldn't have filled some of the prompts that i did if my name were attached. they're a liiiittle embarassing. ^^;;
