Thanks Carl-E.
My Avvie is a fanart pic I picked up from Outpost Daria and done as an adjunct to one of my favorite fics on there. It's supposed to be a representation of a painting Jane did for Daria to celebrate the first official publication/sale of her first Melody Powers story.
As for the other thing, like you most probably thought, DrPhibes could have figured my gender out by my siggie.
