Don't bother with a sock or name change, really dedicated haters will find you out anyway, and you'll feel guilty for hiding (although you shouldn't, but feelings are feelings) and end up producing less fic (or art, or whatever). It's not worth abandoning your existing fanworks, especially if you're attached to them. Just keep producing what you love to produce, and do your best to ignore the crap flung your way. Plenty of people looking for quality fanworks to enjoy will be glad for your stuff, and many of those people don't even engage with the social aspect of fandom.

Also, try to remember that not everyone flinging crap is necessarily a horrible person. They're just naive for believing lies -- unfortunately on the Internet, it's very easy to "prove" lies but extremely hard to disprove anything. They're flinging crap at a fictional version of you, created by a butthurt egocentric loser, not at the real you. Eventually they'll get tired of it.

Alternately, you could drive to a city four or five hours away from home and spend a couple hours in a public library creating a sockpuppet who will insult the BNF even more, and from an IP far removed from your own. Maybe the new target will distract her. But you won't do that, because you have better things to do with your time.

Good luck.
