question about "being a fan"
I don´t know if it´s okay to ask such a general question here. If anyone find it improper, feel free to let me know ;)
I was just wondering: what do your friends/family say about you "being a fan"? I mean especialy if you´re reading or writing fanfictions?
I was writing fictions long before I had the PC, long before I knew something as "fanfictions" exist. Then I discovered the fanfiction.net and the and whole new world with it. Though I wasn´t able to tell it anyone until like... six months ago.
What about you?
In the society I live in the fanfiction and its writers are something like exotic animals. People think they are weird and it´s something everyone laughs at. If you´re a writer, you usualy don´t talk about it, we usualy don´t know about each other(u should see my surprise when I discovered my former schoolmate reads fanfictions too! :D).
I was wondering about your experience. What about your parents, friends, partners?
(Lately I realised I became something I call ,,hidden slasher". I was always avoiding slash and I am still pretending I do, but... I don´t. In fact I am big H/R shipper! And there is only one person from my surrounding who knows about this! Being a fanfiction-writer is like ,,Uh... she´s a weirdo, don´t touch her.", but being a slasher is ,,OMG! DON´T LOOK AT HER OR SHE´LL BURN YOUR RETINAE!")
