Outi Alanne (born 4 May 1967) [1] is a Finnish writer, also known by the pseudonym NeitiNaru. [2] [3]
Alanne was born in Oulu. In 1995, she started studying literature, art history, Finnish language and theatre in the University of Helsinki. As a student she also worked as an intern archiver at the Finnish Literature Society. [2] In her thirties, after a period of introspection following the divorce from a failed relationship, she found herself in a new relationship with a dominant male, and discovered her masochist self. [3]
In 2000, she started a website called NeitiNarun Ihmeellinen Huone (MissNaru's Wonderful Room), where she discussed sadomasochistic sexuality under her pseudonym, until in 2002 she published an autobiographical novel called Neiti N:n tarina (Miss N's story), [3] which earned her the "Year's Kinkiest Performance" award by the cultural society Rsyke the following year. [4]
Alanne has also served as chairman of the BDSM organisation SMFR, founded in Helsinki, between 2002 and 2004. [2]
