What can one say? It’s all a whirl, so far.
A seminar on SF, while congenial
Hardly left the ground, eschewed the stars.
A spat on pseudonymity, more menial
Raised greater passions: sabres, then were drawn
Twixt those who advocated full transparency
And those who found their confidence might be shorn
By full exposure. Many preferred to see
Themselves as brigands of the internet
Heroes with a mask, a domino
Writing wrongs, injustice for to set
Aside, a blazing world of fiery show.
But what happens if pseudonymous success
Exceeds that of reality? Who can guess?

Oooh, I’m so gobsmacked, you could knock me over with a feather.
Not. ;-)
