I haven't done this yet, but is it possible to become a Member of W and A using one's pen-name when one is already a member under the real name?
Is it 'cheating'?
What details would be viewable (as it were) in the public domain of W and A?

Johnathan, thanks for responding.
There'd be no point, IMO. The site's designed for helpful advice - no-one really cares what name you use. And despite what others have suggested I can't see how posting a work excerpt counts as 'publishing'. Using another name makes no difference to that and your alter-ego'll suffer plaudits or brickbats just the same.
I gather some peer-review sites have suffered from members using multiple identities: presumably they believe they may gain some advantage in terms of reviews, chart position, etc, but if so they delude themselves it makes any difference in the real world.
If you're happy with who you are, I'd stick with that :)
