If anyone who knows me in RL listened to my podfics I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be hard at all to figure out it's me (but I can't really see most of those people listening to podfic). I do have something of a distinct accent and what's more there's a short podfic that I've read in English, Finnish, Swedish and also my very distinct dialect of Swedish. So anyone who knows anything about those languages shouldn't have much trouble figuring out I'm Finnish and with the addition of my dialect... yeah, narrow it down to very specific region of Finland. I didn't think about that when I did it, not until someone actually did connect the dots, though not someone who knows me in RL so they still didn't know who I am. Thankfully it doesn't really matter to me much if I'm discovered (if it did I probably would have realised how easy I was making it for people).

To be honest I have a bit of trouble understanding why it's so horrible to some people if they were connected to their fannish existence. I can see it could be a bit awkward, but... I mean it's not that I don't get the reasons when someone explains them to me, I just don't have any personal experience of that kind of situation. I just can't imagine any kind of serious consequences for me, neither in personally or professionally (well, I did start studying again, so maybe I'll feel differently some day). I mean I ran my reading of an nc-17, non-con, wincest podfic through my mom and dad before posting it to find out if I sound normal while reading it (to be fair, neither of them are fluent in English so I can't say how much of it they'd get, I was checking my tone of voice not the content).
