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

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.


[Poll #370787]

Quite a few RL friends know -- ranging from disinterest, to mild disdain -- and my ex knows, thoroughly disapproves (I think he's more anti the anonymity, and the fact that I don't spam slash stuff all over my 'real' LJ) and keeps trying to 'out' me, which is worrying only because of his motives -- there's worse stuff he knows about me: most people he could out me to would not be at all bothered.

Does that make sense? Words not doing their thing tonight.
