Also, yes, I think it's important that fandom knows that the creators legally aren't allowed to read fic.

I've told some of my "straight" friends about my fanfic (though, I should point out that my fic is mostly gen and the stuff that isn't is only cuddling :P) and for the most part, they're like "Okay..." and then I even give them links to it, and they don't care enough to even read my stuff...and that's that. It's always nerve-wracking telling them though, but I feel better afterwards for having told them. (Mind you, two of them keep trying to think of ways that I could make money off of it, and I keep trying to explain THE RULES, but they keep looking for loop-holes no matter how many times I roll my eyes and tell them to shut-up about it. So, yeah, there's a danger of "straight" friends just not understanding the culture of fandom...but that's the biggest danger I've found so far.)

Again though, I write gen...and if I write anything scandalous, it's usually for an anonymous kinkmeme and I don't reveal myself. So, obviously, I'm not about to put my name on the hard core stuff either, so I can't really talk. I'm not necessarily ashamed of it though. I just think of this journal as more meta+resource focused. The demented'verse aside, I'm not really a prolific writer...and part of me just doesn't want people to start demanding NC-17 fic from me once they find out that I can write it...I barely even read it anymore. It's just not a huge interest of mine.

It sounds like you and I feel the same or similar about the internalized misogyny.

Sorry for the 2 part essay. My sleep schedule is all messed up and it's 3am...and I think I've gotten a bit too rambley in my tiredness.
