Whew. The thing I've been fearing the most ever since I started posting my fanfic on the net actually happened: an RL friend found my fic. I can only blame myself, since I HAD been dropping plenty of hints that could be used to track me down, because I thought that if they really, really wanted to read my stuff, they should be able to. Nevertheless, I sort of freaked out when I first learned about this, but then it became clear that it really wasn't such a bad thing. Incredibly enough, the friend in question understands hurt/comfort, which is the most embarrassing thing to me about my fic (aside from the recent weird pairings), and the main reason I want to keep it anonymous. It turns out this friend actually likes my fic! Yay!
So, now I've got a friend with whom I can talk about my fic IRL, which is incredible, slightly disturbing, but really nice, too. I do hope that this whole thing isn't going to affect my fic writing in any way. So far it doesn't look like it has, haven't run into a writer's block or anything. Instead, I've just had a new idea. Don't know if it'll end up becoming a story. Anyway, I'm about halfway done with a Tony/Jarvis (sort of) story, and I've every intention of finishing it and posting it (if my lovely beta thinks it's all right). :)
