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.

Total sympathy on the boyfriend's roommate thing. That would be seriously irritating, if for no other reason than that you got blindsided. I mean, come on; if you're going to share my stuff without my consent, at least warn me that you did that before I meet the person, y'know? I'm assuming you explained to the boyfriend the error of his ways.

(And, of course, you're right; it's different if it's a mutual thing. I suppose lots of people's first impression of me is this LJ, but that's OK because they share the interest; I just don't want, say, my Best Beloved's sister's best friend to meet me this way.)
