You can just not associate your fandom name with your real life name.

I'm surprised OP was able to find the fan at all! Though I guess BNFs are sometimes more open with that stuff?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, they are - I know the name of a fandom BNF and could probably dig a lot of RL stuff up on her if I wanted to. (Other people have, she was an old friend of Cassie Claire's.)

[(Anonymous)]

During the LJ days most people knew the rl names of the BNFs, at least in the major fandoms.

That's what I do, but I can understand why people might be hesitant about that - especially because I was less careful once several years ago and then some point after that (but a few years before now) some random creepy asshole on Kongregate, part of the chat room I'm an on-and-off regular in, somehow managed to dig me up and found my Facebook page. Fortunately the mods cracked down on him when I told them he'd violated my privacy and he left me alone after that, but it was not pleasant.

I'm a lot more careful now.

Weirdly, it's kind of a one-way filter. I don't mind people I know IRL knowing my online identities, but I'm a lot more careful the other way around. I have shared RL info with a few trusted people, most of whom I've fallen out of touch with in the past but one of whom is now a very good friend of mine, but I'm careful about making connections like that.

The idea of it just really freaks me out for some reason. People are crazy.

[diet_poison]

Nothing wrong with not having one!

The one problem that comes to mind is that Facebook, from what I've heard, is not to fond of pseudonyms. Not that it stops a lot of people (including myself) having accounts under role-play names, but I have heard (second or third-hand) of people who have come to the notice of TPB having their accounts shut down.

My name on FB is the character of a book i love. It's not a 'common' name, either. FB hasn't ever given me any issues, though, so...i dunno. Guess you can't go nutso with something really out there?

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think as long as you don't go out of your way to get noticed, you can get away with it.

Facebook didn't like my real name so I've got a nick name. I also discovered last night I could change my FB username! Almost completely disconnect to my old name now. Although if ppl search my full name in Facebook it suggests my account... And a fake imitation me that appears to be sourced from Instagram? That account doesn't post so I'm keeping an eye on it.

Sounds like a good course of action.
