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.

I suspect most people will have good manners and not inquire into the fan fiction bit - either that or they won't understand/don't care. We shall see. I'll report back if anything of interest happens!

As for my mum - no, it wouldn't be weird. We've been swapping bodice-ripper romances for many years, many of which are pretty damned raunchy. So a switch to slash wouldn't make much of an impression, really. She certainly has no objection to watching gay-oriented movies; it's my dad that raises all the fuss.
