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.

Like others, these days all of my friends are slashers I've either met online, or been introduced to by other slashers.

The only non-slasher who knows I slash is my little brother (now turning 18) who's very cool about it (and, I think, views it as an eccentricity of mine). He's fun to watch stuff with because he sees the slash, even though he's got no interest in reading/writing/fandom/etc.
