Poll: When fan fiction meets real life, what happens?

[thefourthvine]

In America at this time of year, we get extremely used to answering invasive questions from total strangers. So I thought I'd conduct a poll that could yield potentially interesting results.

Basically, I'm curious about how you handle the interaction between your real life and your fan life; as someone who just recently invited a real-life, pre-fandom friend to view this rather fannish LJ, I find this a topic of relevance right now. And it's sure less depressing than all the political polls I've been reading.

Heh, my close co-workers know I have an internet journal after a watercooler discussion on blogs but not my name or even what service I use.

As far as family and friends, everyone knows I write "short stories for myself and my friends", but my in-laws would be appalled to know I write slash. My family would be perfectly happy with the slash, but would be appalled to learn that I write fanfic. Priorities, you know.

My husband finds it all very amusing and I've pulled a couple of RL friends not only into reading, but also writing. Fear my persuasion!
