You’re absolutely not in breach, JD. What we did previously is valid. It’s just going forward that we don’t necessarily need to make new joint accounts for people. But the reason for you to request and be given a second account is one of the reasons we’d consider compelling. We’ve allowed second accounts for authors who write two such different genres that they wanted separate pen names to avoid aggro or upset with readers who might love the lighter stuff but are profoundly traumatized by darker work. Keeping your adult-oriented work separate from your real-world life is also compelling, since in many cases it can be a serious matter if that gets out. So, to sum up, you’re right as rain with us, JD! I’m not letting you off that easily, because I enjoy your work too much!

Exactly. I miss DA, and her reviews, wish she’d find time to come back. I do have some of those “avoid” tags on my stories… that cuts down my audience a bit.

Repeat reviews pushed up You!’s reviews as well. They’re all valid reviews though and it’s nice to see folks coming back. We gots to appreciate what we can get!

My highest, here, is 9 reviews in 2632, because Dirty Angel loved to review until she decided to go off-grid.

That’s a drool-worthy review to hit ratio.

Was she dead or alive in it?

Thank you again for the clarification on the rules. I appreciate the support of the site staff in keeping the accounts seperate. And thank you for the compliment!

I PM’ed or emailed DG about it in 2011 or so to discuss and was allowed to keep my old account at the time – my reason was I no longer used the old username as it was known to real world people, and the stuff I was writing as JayDee was much harder core, but folks maybe still wanted to read the old stories. My understanding was that DG just needed records of this as well as the reason for why although with it being 7 years ago I don’t recall a lot of the details too closely or still have the messages. I can’t even prove I discussed it with DG beyond that query in 2009 in the thread above. My concern today and why I queried Melrick’s answer is that if the policy had changed then it would put me in breach of the rules as they are now. I’m basically Lawful Evil here and try to follow the rules so it’d be bye bye JayDee if there were no longer exceptions (quit that cheering at the back there). With your clarifying reply I can now just keep my fingers crossed that the reason I gave DG in 2011 remains sufficiently compelling for an exception! And If it’s not I bear no ill will ‘cos rules is rules and would just say thanks everyone for the support and reviews and interraction and that and would totally understand the deletion of JayDee as a second account. I don’t expect things that were ok years ago to always remain ok, after all Thanks for your time.
