poll & questions & do you think you can dance
Well, bugger. I can't actually put a poll in here. Stupid unpaid account.
Poll: (Answer in comments, if you feel like it, please? Anon is fine!)
Are you 'out' to your friends and family about your fandom involvement?
1) OMG NO
2) To some people about some things
3) Completely!
4) OTHER
Pretty much no one I knew in my MFA program (aka the last three years of my life) knew I was at all involved in/aware of fandom. My family kind of knows, because they're curious when I write all the time at home, and they ask about it and I'm not dishonest/evasive, just...vague. But. Most of what I write is either porn or indulgent id fic. And I feel...inexplicably vulnerable when I think about sharing it.
Next question:
If you were me, and your mom was all "I am awesome! I teach Women's Studies! You write all the time. I want to read something you've written!"
(I made the mistake of telling her one time "It's...sort of...porny." And she was like "...I do know about sex, HB." Although she used my actual name. And I deleted most of that conversation from my brain, because I'm pretty sure my parents have never had sex ever.)
But anyway.
If you were me, which of my fics would you show to my parents?
In completely unrelated news:
So You Think You Can Dance is on and I love it and it's beautiful and Mary Murphy is still my fave. If I remember correctly there are some fans of SYTYCD on my flist.
