Are you sure that person wasn't Victoria Bitter/Andy/Amy Blake? That kind of swooping around from fandom to fandom and claiming to be something that hits all the standard fandom SJ buttons seems similar.

Enh, he's been going by the Andy Blake name and male gender for a long ass time now. Though if 'Christine' has that same godawful traced art, that'd be an interesting new chapter to THAT saga of wtfery.

I don't know who those people are, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was just someone claiming to be something or someone they're not and changing identities to suit different fandoms. My first thought reading the secret was that one or both of those identities was a lie. Probably both.

I'm always surprised when people believe what someone says about themselves when their only interaction with that person is online. You'd think with all the catfish stories and the like that people would be more cynical about these things and realize how easy it is to create identities and say whatever you want, no matter how divorced that is from who you really are.

Some of us even like that part, actually. I can think of a couple of online communities where the big name, or "star" of the group always posts under a fictitious name.

In one case, (pretty much) everyone knows it's fake. Most people assume she's actually a man. But she posts in character rather than get it tangled up in her real life issues. And her various followers tend to use obviously-made-up identities as well.

In another case, the community grew up around the fandom of a column written under a house name. It's conventional to pretend that the writer actually exists, even though this is practically impossible.
