As I think about it, I've had IP logging on ever since I had troublesome someone on my journal. I've always allowed anonymous comments, so that was a way for me to see if the troublemaker was who I thought it was. It usually was.
No, it's always so funny in fests to see your art and facetiously ask myself, 'hmmm, I wonder who that could be'. I'm actually not convinced that a well known artist can ever be truly anon. It's even hard for some writers who either have a distinctive style of writing or who tend to use the same side characters (I recently realized for me that would be Hestia and Emmeline) or they tend to reuse phrases a lot. Anyway, sure, take your time. I'm so easy going. I tried to keep all the commenters anon at first but they kept commenting with their user ids and I am not a mother duck who needs to chase around after rambunctious ducklings. The anon is mostly there so that people can ask for what they want and if it is something they can't even whisper outloud, at least they can ask for it a kink meme.
