"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, anything about the woman's sexual past is not admissible in court, unless it's being used to rebut statements by the prosecuter. (Like, if the prosecuter says that the woman was a virgin, then the defense is allowed to bring in guys who say they slept with her before.) But according to my sister, who's a lawyer (she just walked in the room, so I figured I'd ask her), there are no laws against newspapers or TV reporting things like that; it's just generally agreed that it's Not Done.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
And this is legal?
Not really, no. There's all kinds of room for defamation of character suits and the like in there. Unfortunately, though, that would put the woman more into the spotlight.
There are reasons the alleged victim's name isn't usually reported in cases like this.

Why is her identity open knowledge?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I've written (sadly, my archive is a bad count) 50 or 60 AtS and BtVS pieces, two pieces of political slash, one Smallville, and one popslash piece. Oh, and one co-written HCL/AtS PWP.
Stories range from drabbles to novellas, generally falling under short story or short shorts.

Why is her identity open knowledge?
Somehow--and I don't know the details--it got leaked onto the Internet.

Why is her identity open knowledge?
Because it's a big case, and there's no way to stop people from getting the information.
The identity of the alleged victim in a big media case will often get leaked. In this day and age, with the amount of tabloid web media, it's almost inevitable.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Oh, and one co-written HCL/AtS PWP.
Sorry, I meant twenty fandoms.

Always Anti-fascist!
I've not written a lot, cause I'm new at this. As an adult, I mean. As a kid, I wrote a few Star Wars ones. But I've written Buffy. An Angel & Will and Grace crossover PWP, mostly to pair Karen/Darla for Plei, and am working on a Homicide and Buffy crossover.

"am working on a Homicide and Buffy crossover."
Erikaj, that is something I would like to read. Very intriguing possibilities in that regard. Crossovers are my favorite brand of fanfic.
I have thought about the dynamics of a Buffy/Batman crossover. Clearly, not your 1960s camp Batman, but your Frank Miller-Dark-Knight-Returns-he's-50-years-old-angel-of-vengeance-I-am-the-LAW Batman.
A problem that I have before I put words to keyboard to write fanfics is that my imagination doesn't keep me to simple xovers. I think three or four (at times five or six) different series and hopelessly grand epic stories. Because I see the conduits in each of my favorite tv series or literary works that allow for "plug-and-play" type storytelling.
