Out of the Closet?

[druffine]

I wondered what kind of experiences you made..

1. How did you get into slash?

2. Does your significant other know about you reading / writing slash?
How was his/her/their reaction? Did it improve your sexlife?

3. Do other friends/family members know about it and how was their reaction to you reading/writing slash?

permission to take to your own lj of course

Hi, don't really know you, but I avidly read your writing
and this seemed fun.

1. I accidentally stumbled upon fanfic in general about 6 years ago while trying to find out how old James Marsters was (my mom said he was too old for me, sadly he kinda is; he's nearly twice my age.) I followed a random link and started reading Spuffy stuff. That got real boring real quick, then I started reading Spillow, again boring, then found some slash and out of shear curiosity and boredom read some Spander. Was hooked. That was about 3 years ago, I refuse to look back.

2. Two of my ex-boyfriends knew I read fanfic, but not that it was slash. Right now I'm single and there's this guy that is trying to win my affections and I told him in a desperate ploy to turn him off. It didn't work.

3. My parents know I read/write fanfic, but not that I read NC-17 or slash, they would be so disappointed. My best friend knows I read NC-17 slash, that I write slash and that I'm attemptimg my first NC-17. She doesn't 'get it,' however she's awesomely supportive of it as an art form.

Hi! Doesn't matter you don't know me - time we get to know each other.
Can't say anybody said he was avidly reading or even reading my lj regularly before. lol.

I am a sucker for quizzes - can't help it.

I refuse to look back.
Yeah, I am into slash for about two years and James Masters is nearly twice my age too, and I really don't like to admit that I was a SpuffyReader once. It all seems so wrong now, doesn't it. Girls! *shudder* lol.

My discovery of slash fic was after the break up with my ex but we are really good friends (if me liking his company and him mooning over me qualifies for that) and he is still the one person knowing the most stuff about me, slah fic addiction included. First he was a little stunned, then this evil glint got into his eyes and he offered himself up for experimentation. Hah. Oh I would so have taken him up on that if he hadn't had that new girlfriend. *cries*

It didn't work. *giggles*

Well, my mom knows about it, about me reading slash and it somehow slipped when I was out to lunch with my mom and dad on his birthday and she tried to out me as lesbian to my dad. He said nothing would shock him anymore - so I said Kirk and Spock (his fave tv show again and again and aaagaaainnn). He did a looong blink then. I don't think he'll ever get over it. He is kinda homophobic too.

Best friends and their support is soo important. I lost enough to know that. Btw, *looks around* Is anybody watching? Look at this, just found it.

Yes, I am bored, answer? And thanks so much for joining mm_fic_catalog, made me happy.
