Your privacy on the net..

[Britwitch]

Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your point of view, I share my real name (exactly!) with a famous athlete so any Google search with my name brings up a ton about her...

And Britwitch, there are loads of them all over the place it seems, some of them connected to me, many are not though...

Eh, my handle has my name in it and considering monique_minx was already linked to numerous lingerie/nude photos all over the net, finding my erotic writing on here is the least of my problems!

Besides that, even if my boss did discover it, I wouldn't get sacked for it so I'm not bothered. My family and friends know of my deviant nature, so do a few of my workmates.

All that aside, my boss gave his old phone to my dom partner recently *giggles* he forgot to delete the photos and let's just say that my boss ain't exactly Jesus himself either

Soooo totally alluding to it at the work dinner party on Saturday!

So I just googled myself, twice actually because I had a former RP name(now my author handle) on here. The first username I ever used was not found, except for my stories. This one all i found was rps nothing revealing.

However, like Luna. If you were to google my real name (which I rarely give out) you find my fb page.

Google'd my screenname. You can find me pretty easilly, though you'll have to sift through some hits about a farmaceutical company.

Only 2 people know my real name, and if you'd Google it, you won't find anything about me since a): I don't use Facebook or anything and b): It's an alternate spelling of a popular name, so all hits will be from that name.

Thank you everyone for joining in. I found the subject fascinating, if worrying. I'm glad you're all happy/secure in your online activities whether your privacy is an issue or not.

Those who I allow to know the real me have known me online for years.
Do they know my real name? Yep. Do they know my address/phone number? A few. Two of them are people I've talked to or sent things to a number of times.

There are a few others I'd trust with more personal info like that. Have they ever asked? Nope... so I haven't said anything.

As for "outside" life mingling with "net" life... The only people in my day to day life that know about Lit are Mr and an old college buddy that's peeked in here once in awhile. (I have no idea what he's calling himself. So, uh... If you're seein' this, Jay...? PM me, you ass. I told you my name a good 6 times, dork. )

There's a slight possibility that Lit could harm my work life. I know there's some threads I need to delete/edit around here. But other than those few? I doubt anyone would really care. They know I write. "Naughty" stuff isn't a first thought that would come with that, but I know one of my friends is aware of what goes on in my head, to a point.

I let online friends see a further side to me than RL people get to. I think that part would be the bigger surprise.

My real name is rather unique, but surprisingly its more common than I thought- at least, my maiden name. My married one comes up with hits to me rather quickly. I don't know what my name here brings up on google, aside from posts.
