Geek. Fangirl. A place for stuff and nonsense.

At the moment, expect to see a lot of Dragon Age and Avengers, mixed with a little Vampire Diaries, Doctor Who, and Game of Thrones/ASoIaF. And musicians, always musicians.

Question for fanartists/writers

janiejanine:

Do you share your work with friends/family/significant others? Or do you prefer to keep your fandom life separate from your personal life?

I’ve been extremely lucky - for many years, my offline friends have been the same as my online friends. These days, the only really close RL friend I have that I didn’t meet through one fandom or another is my cousin/BFF. (And she knows about my fic and has read it on occasion, though she’s not in fandom at all.) 

… but otherwise, I get together with most of my close RL friends every Wednesday night to do crafts talk about porn and badfic. It’s pretty awesome, and I am constantly grateful for it. :D

  10. tarysande said: My husband knows, but reading would be lost on him. (He used to read my XF fic back in the day though). My family knows and I’ll chat about it. Couple of friends know, but unless I know someone *understands* fannishness, I tend to keep it to myself.
