And the OP of the secret was talking about doing just that and afraid of it STILL being dug up. You seem to be stuck on the idea of someone including their smut penname in their middle-grade book's author bio.

I re-read the secret and no, they said nothing about being worried their works would be dug up after being orphaned. The secret is only about how much it sucks that they have to orphan those fics in the first place.

You'd be surprised how many times I've seen it happen. I've seen smut posted in general art/fanfiction channels on discord servers for kids, and the author was fighting to the death over their right to post it there. I've seen people post untagged smut on tumblr under children's fiction tags and explaining that no, they can't tag it, because then tumblr anti-nsfw filters will filter it out. Some people just have no notion of privacy and separation of their main fandom activity from their NSFW activity.

And some people can't accept that fandom has always contained a level of NSFW content and if you want it to be separated that's on you

And some people remember the times when "fandom" was divided into separate communities, which rarely interacted with each other. And you had to lie about your age to get inside a community that hosted NSFW content.

Aka clicking a button that's says yes. Very fun.

Which you can still do on AO3 to this day!

(I don't see it often because I've set it to not show when I'm logged in, but sometimes I like it for the nostalgia value. :D)
