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.

Just clarifying a couple of things. I've told a number of RL friends about the fanfic, and responses have ranged from squicked but accepting to "Wanna read my Spike/Buffy epic?" I checked all the applicable boxes for question #6.

Also, as you probably know, my Someone Special is not only supportive, she is my beta reader. She's even started writing the occasional fic herself.
