It struck me that I ought to explain why I have a pseudonym for my Fish entries.
I set it up in 2004, when I started writing and trying out comps. I used my younger son's Christian names, for luck. It seemed to work now and again! (There... that gives a hint as to which it is.)
It's easy to just carry on using it, for online entries, so I havent bothered changing it.
That's all. No great mysteries!

Waterstone’s says: "...some of the most beautifully crafted and engrossing stories that one can read..." The Asham Award website says: "This stunning range of work is not afraid to explore the darker side of human emotion, yet allows us to see the light which often wavers at the end of the bleakest and longest tunnel. These beautifully written stories are in the best literary tradition, lyrical yet understated. "

That's a shame - your choice of pseudonym could have become the basis for a short story ;)
Now there's a thought! Thanks for dropping in, Phil. Interesting stuff you do...good luck with the thesis.

see if you win some money having subbed with a pseudonym, who do they make the cheque payable to? Or do you let them know after they have posted your story as the winner?

Good question. I have let people know who to make the cheque out to ini the past... but there are writers who have a pen name and open bank accounts in that name.
