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.

Grrr. Condescendingly amused is - well, I'm not entirely sure it's better than a flat-out "ew" reaction. Though I probably feel that way in large part because I used to be condescending about FF (although, thank god, never toward an actual fan) until I found my way to some and realized, my god, this stuff is good. So now the whole condescending amusement bit makes me want to bite someone. I sincerely hope you're less, um, sensitive. Or that you have very sharp teeth.

(Yay, cousin!)
