There isn't.

I've seen this feeling before plenty, and I can understand it, but it's not
one that I have; I prefer my style.

But then, I learned very very early on to not give a damn what other people
think of me. ;-)

(And if you look at the 'about me' page on my livejournal, you may see that
I take this openness a bit farther than most.)

I don't feel that sharing my personal work compromises it.

However, this is obviously a highly personal issue, and I think a completely
idiosyncratic one. I enjoy my style, but if you enjoy yours then that's fine
too.

With LCS hat on, I can say that our aim is to support conlanging, conlangs,
and conlangers, period. The more we can do for the most people, the better.
If something like this would be something you feel would be important, we
take that seriously. ;-)
