Pseud update!
So as some of you know I have a separate AO3 account called AtthePotters for the smuttiest of the smut fics. I initially started this account because I was too shy to post smut on main (haha) and I kept it for the smuttiest fics.
Now I don't care as much anymore and switching accounts can be a hassle so I decided to move those fics to my main account but under the 'AtThePotters' pseud
So the great news is if you are subscribed to my account already, you're also subscribed to this one. My tumblr sideblog @atthepotters will also remain up for updates for those fics (omegaverse, keep your eyes on that one ;) )
So pseuds:
GinnyWPotter Atthepotters
Hi! So, I'm very new on ao3 and would love an advice on it's mechanics if that's not hard for you👉👈 On ao3, you have like a side-profile, I think, under the nickname zestiec, and I've seen other authors having those too, with their main profile name being in brackets (like this). How to create it? I've searched on the profile page but didn't find any instructions :(
HI I HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN IN MY INBOX, SORRY!
So those side profiles are called pseuds, short for pseudonyms! You can read the official ao3 FAQ about them here, including instructions for how to set up a pseud.
The short version is that they were originally conceived as a way to collect all your usernames from different sites/forums/etc under a single ao3 account. Some people (like me!) use them more for organization. I personally put my incest and younger underage fics under zestiec; other people might use different pseuds for different fandoms, or to keep their old username attached to works when they change it.
Things you can do with a pseud:
Have separate works lists
Have separate icons
Maintain a separate bookmark list
Sign up for exchanges as that pseud
Comment as that pseud
Things you cannot do with a pseud:
Have separate subscriber lists — all subscribers are subscribed to all your pseuds
Have a separate gift list
Leave kudos as your pseud
If you're looking to do those things, you're better off making a second ao3 account (sometimes called a sock).
Aaaaaaaaaaahh i just checked your ao3 and saw you added a new pseud Bulbakar!? 👀 whats that about??
I was thinking I might post original works there, but idk. I feel like no one actually wants to read them. So now it just sits while I decide whether to use it or not
My AO3 Pseuds!
lil bonus intro post about my ao3 pseuds cause i have. four now
Lightning_Zombie - my main pseud where all my parx RPF fics live. any other rpf fics will go here (if i write any)
FluxApocalypse - for my yogs fics. currently only has the one flux buddies fic but i will probably write more at some point
TechnoViolence - for my old MCYT/DSMP fics that give me the ick but i refuse to delete or orphan
ZakInTheBox - for my "normal" fandom fics. you'll find TMA, The Mentalist, Doctor Who, etc here. basically made so people dont click on my account and immediately see the 63 rpf fics and realise im insane

I’ve seen times where someone wants to quietly change pseuds, without fanfare, only to have someone else within fandom disambiguate them later on. And that could be due to excitement, like, ‘Oh my gosh, I love your stuff, I’m so glad I found you again, and it’d be cool for others to know this cool stuff you made years ago.’ Or it could be, like, less wholesome reasons, like, ‘This person created something five years ago that I’m now bringing up as an example of me thinking they were or are a horrible person.’ And so there’s an element, too, for me, of the right to be forgotten, when someone wants to move on from an earlier part of their fannish life, or from a particular fandom, and I don’t think fandom really allows for that.

what’s in a (pen) name by princess weekes is a great little look at why pen names and have historically used! i love how varied the reasonings behind their choices to use pen names were, and i think that it’s a really great thing for web denizens to be mindful of because we’re all living with pen names. like, even if you are one of the people who uses your legal name for some purposes in your online spaces, even your url IS in some ways a pen name and it’s good to do some analysis of that identity, i think
