Hi everybody,

this is something that I've planned for quite some time, but I never had the courage to do so far.
When I joined this community over 8 years ago I choose the nick of "Anon" because I thought I would just lurk in the background and never took an active role. Being on SGInc and later here was a secret, guilty pleasure of mine and I was a bit ashamed of it. Back then I would never expected to become an active part of this site - not to mention getting the responsibility of being Librarian.
While being Anon has been fun, there is one thing that bothered me over the last year or so: the feeling that I was hiding from my own fear. As I said SWM style fiction has been a guilty pleasure for me, one that I enjoyed throughoutly. Even so I cme to realize that SWM is the only part of my internetian life that I keep carefully separated from the rest for fear of being judged by my RL friends.
In many ways I'm a coward, I tend to be so afraid of things that often I retract into my own cozy corner and don't even try. too often I'm not afraid of doing, I'm farid of being afraid. Hiding behind a mask or a nick, help to ignore this fear, but now I decided that this has to stop somehow. I'm putting my real name up there, although many of you already know it, due to e-mails and stuff, but ever since I started being online there was a nickname I used consistently: Woodclaw.
So I'm changing my nick here to match and if you look on DeviantArt , Facebook, Steam or any number of RPG sites you'll find stuff by me. The guy behind the keyboard will still be the same.

Stay safe and happy writing

Woodclaw (formerly Anon, still Librarian)

We all need a little private space to wrestle with our deepest, darkest urges. With the advent of the internet and a bit of casual anonymity we don't have to wrestle alone.

In certain circles it's become a spectator sport.

Much respect.

There are times we do need our own personal space for our fantasies where real life sometimes won't understand. I really have known your nick for a long time. At least you have the courage to come out. I respect you for that. Hope to see and read more great stuff from you.
