lassarina echoed everything I was thinking but didn't necessarily say when I typed up my response earlier in the week.
The real problem is that misogyny + butthurt + instability is a dangerous brew which means that anyone can become a target for no good reason beyond "winning" the lottery of being the wrong person on the wrong day who just happened to write an article on something that set off a fantatic into threaten/abuse/attack mode. A number of institutions I know of (including one I worked for) went through years of handling all mail and packages as potential bomb/anthrax threats, and did so for very good reason. Threats to staff members at a variety of my past places of work were commonplace enough that we had an entire procedure to handle it (especially after one person was shot and killed).
The issue isn't using your wallet name in fandom, but in people's ability to link your byline name (be it a pseudonym or wallet name) with your photograph, your home/work address, and your home/work phonenumber. That is the real problem.
In your case, you are lucky because you get to think *now* about how to tie anything in your current work, LadyBusiness, with any identifiable aspects of your identity/whereabouts, rather than being in the uncomfortable, time consuming, and sometimes expensive position of needing to obscure this info once it is too late.
