Nom de plume?

In talking to my mom, who propably knows me better than anyone I really know in real life these days...

The kind of writing I'm drawn to?

Well...

As tempting as it is to come up with a pen name, if I did, then the people that know me, or think they know me, would never believe I wrote it.

This bit of historical erotica for example. Okay, I'm making notes, and thus far, I've got a set of fraternal twins that practice incest, slavery, and homocide. I have a priest that is addicted to seducing men and women, though doesn't actually follow through, and beats himself up over it. The child of the taboo pair previously mentioned, kept as a pet/serving boy, but not in a sexual capacity. Then there's the eunuch, the tarty maid, and the simpering, gay fop.

Dude.

No one that knows me here on this side of the computer, my cousins, co-workers, and friends included, would pick that up and think, "Oh wow! That's my [cousin, co-worker, friend]!"

I'm a girly girl! I flirt with guys and they make me blush! I like the colors pink and brown, and sleep with a stuffed pink bunny named Skwish and a teddy named Cinamon every night. I like glitter and my cats and coo over babies and penguins.

Yeah...no pen name for me, not if I don't want people thinking that I'm trying to pass of someone else's work as my own.
