defining the pseudonym

Define: verisimilitude

• "the appearance of truth or reality, as opposed to fantasy, science fiction or the fairy tale. Verisimilitude usually refers to a real person, place or thing described in much believable detail."
• The sense that what one reads is "real," or at least realistic and believable. For instance, the reader possesses a sense of verisimilitude when reading a story in which a character cuts his finger, and the finger bleeds. If the character's cut finger had produced sparks of fire rather than blood, the story would not possess verisimilitude.
