Pseudonyms:
Who is who, and why do they do it? Early writers of pulp science fiction use pseudonyms for a variety of reasons. There are three main types, which are the collaborative pseudonym, the floating pseudonym, and house names. A collaborative pseudonym is one that stands for two or more authors who work collectively on a story. Thus, Robert Randall represents Robert Silverburg and Randall Garrett. These pseudonyms will not always be this easy to spot, as S. D. Gottesman can represent Kornbluth and Frederik Pohl collectively, or Kornbluth by himself. A floating pseodonym is one that is available to anyone who wants to use it. Ivar Jorgensen is a one that is taken up by a number of authors. A house name is a variation of a floating pseudonym, where a publishing company will often use such a name to cover the fact that there are two contributions by the same author. Another reason might be that the contributor does not want others to know he or she has stories published in a certain magazine.
