So Deep in the Fic Closet I've Found the Door to Narnia

[jenni_snake]

So here I am at a professional two-day meeting away from home, and when my colleagues ask what I'm going to do when I get back to my hotel I want to casually throw out the truth: oh, I'm going to work on a few WiPs, try to hammer out at least an outline so I can go over it again later in the week and at least have something to edit. But I don't. When my coworkers are talking about their weekend running schedule or their fishing trips or just watching the game, I want to off-handedly throw in that I've got to catch up on some writing. But I don't (because no one ever just leaves it at that - oh, what are you writing? - and truly, what curious being wouldn't ask that question?

I want so desperately to find like minds out there in my offline world, but from overheard conversations just my tv watching habits might seem too out in left field!

So I'm curious - is anyone actually out of the fanfic closet in their non-virtual lives?
