White Wolf brought out this little point:

The fics.  It appears there is no chance they will be finished now.
Suggestions, anyone?  Some of those stories beg to be finished.

Suggestions... Hmm... Well, I think Leifker and her other co-authors have the 
right to continue the projects they had started with Hitomi, but we have
_no_ right to give her other works (as much as I'd want to see 'Alternate
History
of Ranma 1/2' continued...) to other authors. In my opinion the only situation
where somebody's work can be given to another author (and how to choose who?)
is when the orginal author is dead. And that is only when there is
_positive_ proof
that the orginal author is dead. 

Now, while for all intents and purposes the pseudonym 'Hitomi Ichinohei' is 
very probably dead, the person behind that mask is still alive, and, in my
opinion, we have absolutely no right to steal his/her work and give it to
somebody
else to continue. 

That is my opinion at least.

Now, a little about one other thing that this revelation of Hitomi's true nature
has caused, people sending posts where they basically say: 'I'm me and not
somebody else.' Why are you people doing this? I see no reason not to use 
a pseudonym or an alias on this list. I know I would have stayed 'The Martian'
if my mail addy hadn't been a dead give-away. (but then, can you be sure it's
my real name? ^_^)

Then again, its a completely different thing if you use a pseudonym to do
something dubious(I think that's the right word).
