A House Pseudonym is a Pen Name that can be used by any writer at a given publisher. House Pseudonyms have been used to disguise that a long series has become a Franchise Zombie by allowing other ghostwriters to use the creator's name. They have been used to make a collaborative work look like it came from a single author, using a name that belongs to neither of the actual writers. In the internet age, some websites use them as well. It may be a conscious decision, or it may be the byproduct of giving a standard moniker to posters who aren't signed into the site. This article on The Other Wiki will tell you some of them. |

SiIvaGunner contributors who wish to remain anonymous have the artist information on their songs read "Barney Rubble" on the albums (in keeping with the channel's The Flintstones theming). Highest Quality Rips Volume FOUR HOURS! instead uses "Principal Seymour Skinner" (as the album chronicles the channel's Continuity Reboot, which substituted The Simpsons for The Flintstones). | |

Inverted with Harry Potter. Due to the great complexity of the series, several readers thought it was the work of multiple authors; however, J.K. Rowling rebuked those claims by stating it was indeed just her, much to the awe of this disbelieving side of the fanbase. | |

MAD has several pen names that are used by various contributors, typically to mask conflicts of interest among contributors (as most of their staff is freelance) or invoke Alan Smithee. | |

Dungeons & Dragons has had Richard Awlinson, of the Forgotten Realms "Avatar" trilogy (the first two were Scott Ciencin, the final one was Troy Denning), and T.H. Lain of the "Iconics" novels (nine different authors). According to an article in Dragon, the thinking behind this was getting all the books in a series shelved together in bookstores. | |

Prolific western author Noel Gerson wrote both the Wagons West and White Indian series under the pen names of Dana Fuller Ross and Donald Clayton Porter respectively. After he died, new authors continued his series but kept the pen names he originated. | |

Gold Eagle Publishing released two spinoffs of The Executioner in the 1980s; Able Team, credited to Dick Stivers, and ''Phoenix Force's, credited to Gar Wilson. Both were house names; the actual author would be credited in the book with the line "Special thanks and acknowledgement to (actual author) for his contribution to this work". Somewhat applies to the original series as well; while there was a real Don Pendleton who wrote all but one of the original 38 Executioner novels, he sold the rights to Gold Eagle in 1980. All further installments were ghostwritten, despite having Don's name prominently on the cover. The actual author would be credited with the same "special thanks" line. |

Carolyn Keene of the Nancy Drew and The Dana Girls novels, and Franklin W. Dixon of The Hardy Boys novels, fronts for the Stratemeyer Syndicate. Notable due to the fact that both series has lasted long enough that you have to apply a serious dosage of Comic-Book Time to even pretend to believe in the house pseudonyms. The writing careers of Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon span more than eight decades. If they were real people, they'd have to be well over a hundred years old by now. | |

In-universe: in Little Witch Academia (2017), "Annabel Crème", author of the 365-volume Night Fall novel series (an obvious sendup of Twilight), is revealed to be just the pseudonym of at least 13 (and counting) witch authors as of the anime's beginning, although in this case the name is handed down to a successor instead of used simultaneously for a whole circle of ghostwriters, making it overlap with Legacy Character. It becomes a minor plot point when Lotte is offered to write the latest sequel and in so doing become the next Annabel (the current one is a tiny 12- or 13-year-old, despite "Annabel" supposedly having written the series continuously for 120 years). The current Annabel never reveals her real name though. | |
