3. File names: there's nothing less interesting than a string of numbers for a filename. Labelling it PORN attracts attention.
*headdesk*. I thought I was being so clever labelling my fic folder with an innocent name, and supposed that would be enough. Then my mum acquired a radio which can get onto our network and play music off the computers. Great, no?
Unfortunately, once you give it the password, there is no way to limit it to only searching your Music folder, so it goes through everything, randomly throwing up the names of some of the files it's looking at. I did not know this when I gave it my password. I have quite a bit of fic saved hastily by description rather than title, so this means that yesterday, my mother could possibly have seen files labelled, among others, tentacle porn omg, stripping and rimming, hotel sex, phone sex 2 and pottersnogsmalfoy (I don't even know what that last one is, it's not my filename). I'm fairly sure she would be amused rather than horrified, but I would prefer not to find out!
The mp3 file of someone reading NC-17 fic has been relabelled as a .doc file, too. eek.
