RE: Neither left nor right brainer
I see what you mean. No I don't believe I've ever done this and I don't really see any benefits of it. However, from time to time I write in first person, sort of how "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" or "Catcher in the rye" are written. Not that I compare myself with the giants, but only using the same approach. I will post another story and it will be like this. I think people more often do it the other way around - write about themselves, but cover it up as if this happen with someone else. Especially if they did something shameful, and having carried its heavy burden inside for a while, are trying to splurge it to paper or some other media.
I agree with you, I think @stellabelle actually uses both of those deception types,
writing fiction(or getting someone elses fiction via "secret writer") and presenting it as someone else's real story, and writing real things about her life or thoughts and fantasies and presenting it as somebody elses experiences or just fiction. But you are right that ALOT of fiction written by females are really that, embellished self-referential personal stories disguised as fiction.
I personally hold deception tactics like those in high contempt, as you of course are begining to realize.
