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. 

Agreed.

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? ^_^)

In my case, I chose to stop using my pseudonym because I would prefer to
be me.  "Stormwalker" was becoming something else . . . something
different.  As I write from the soul, and bare a great deal of myself in
my works (if you know how to look), I would prefer to write under my own
name.

I am Douglas Alra Reeves, and I need be nothing else.  There is no mask,
no persona (at least, not anymore).  I can imagine that those who met me
at both A-kon and Otakon will attest to differences.  The mask came off
between those two gatherings.  Stormwalker attended A-kon.  I attended
Otakon.

Identity is a fragile thing, and I dropped the pseudonym to protect
mine.  I do not object to the pseudonyms of others, though you'll find I
won't often trust a person I have not met.  Not anymore.

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

perhaps unscrupulous? or dishonorable?
