An author who doesn't want their authorship known will use a Pen Name. An author who wants everyone to know they don't want their authorship known will use Anonymous, or a pen name that very obviously presents itself as a pen name. This is done to convey the impression — which may even be true — that the author would be in trouble were his or her identity known. So it's often done with controversial works, or works that wish to present themselves as such, and with exposes. Compare Pen Name and Alan Smithee. Contrast Same Face, Different Name, where the pseudonym may not even be particularly opaque and serves largely to emphasize a Creator's Oddball. See also Reclusive Artist for artists who are secretive. |

Brotherhood, about the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, was apparently written by "X". Popular opinion was that this was Howard Mackie, who revealed this to be true in November 2018. | |

The creator of Luna Game, a famous series of creepypasta games based on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, has chosen to remain anonymous. Part of this choice was to add to the game's spooky and haunted feel, and part was to dodge the backlash they knew the first game would get. (Bear in mind, it was published before My Little Pony creepypastas became a staple of the fandom, so it was pretty shocking at the time, despite it overall being pretty tame and even hokey.) They've never publicly revealed their identity, since, while they're not ashamed of having made the series, they don't want to be known as "the creator of Luna Game" forever. However, they did talk with YouTuber Izzzyzzz and give some insight for her video covering the series. | |

cool and new web comic is a parody of Homestuck by an author known as "o". There are many theories as to who the author is, to the point that the very mystery of his identity is a meme. | |

The author of Girl: "Who are you?" Alien: "Er, I'm an alien." is completely anonymous. Not even so much as a pen name or username is given, as the forum the story was posted on allowed users to post without revealing their names. | |

Paradoxus (Winx Club, World of Warcraft): Being a fanfic pretty much ensures all of its authors use internet pseudonyms instead of their real names. There's the main author, Bloom_Farella, whose name includes the name of a canonical character and some random Italian surname; as well as the secondary authors: Daybreak, Popsicle, and Crowgirl. Plus Silvstardust as the official illustrator. | |

The identity of George Kelting, star of The Television Ghost, was kept a secret during the show's run in the early 1930s. His name was only revealed in the 1986 book American Television Drama: The Experimental Years. | |

Parodied in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Double Down. Greg has to write an author biography for school, so he picks the guy who writes the Goosebumps knockoff Spinetinglers. The author's name is obviously fake ("I.M. Spooky") and the About the Author section mentions nothing about him besides the fact that he's still working on new books. For his biography, Greg puts "???" under every section besides his name. | |
