It's simple: remove any mention of your name, then everyone guesses who you are. Or it could be your characters, not you.

Leave clues in the post: a catch phrase you/your character says, a mention of your favorite book, etc.

An't you going to start off? Give all the cute and ignorant little kids out there an example to follow up?

An example... hmm. Supposing I mentioned that Fire Light was my brother. Now, without seeing my name, another user would guess who I am. Sa?

The wince that you wince when you see your quote in the quote generator is quite a wince, I tell ya. To know that the whole YWS community has read and judged your quote is quite an awkward feeling like oh noes. *manly blush*
