I think it's best to use code names then reveal who they all are later so that you can be honest and not worry that some one can google XYZ and get "OMG, I thought they were the lamest, and they had the ugliest dresses!" Once you decode, you can go back and see that Vanilla who had the lame, ugly dresses was XYZ, but it isn't so hard to just randomly find it without reading the whole story. But, I'm tired of the whole fad anyway.
I'm still waiting for someone to make a thread tracking recruitment stories to let us know when they are over and safe to read! I'm sick of checking over and over just to see that some one is begging for an ending.
