She was a member of alt.zines and an active participant in its rollicking, rowdy flame wars before software and pornography pirates bogged down the Usenet, and people migrated to internet blogs and discussion boards. She does two blogs, Language Barrier, an ongoing narrative on whatever, and Anna Sadhorse where she posts some of her poetry. American by birth, Anderson has spent extended periods of time in various countries and posts photos from her wanderings on Flickr and Instagram.
