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.

Okay, this is where it gets fun...

I've lived with this person for 7 years, we've been together for 13 years, but the relationship is dead, dead, dead. I'm basically still here because I'm differently employed and he pays the rent.

No, he does not know I write slash. He would be mortifed and horrified if he did.

The people in my life that know about the slash, knew me as a slash writer before I met them in person. No one that is strictly from RL and has no contact with my VL knows about the slash. I suspect one or two would be okay with it, but I'm not taking that chance.
