Yep! I can so relate! Twice now I've had ...OMG! Yep! I can so relate! Twice now I've had a RL friend text me because I've been MIA and have not checked in via e-mail all day.(my RL friends all live in different states and so we e-mail at least once a day). Ummm...yeah it's because I've been busy with work and then checking my Twi-Fic e-mail acct., and reading and writing and oh yeah checking Twitter. *blushes in embarrassment* Of course I can't tell her that. And I've had my mom ask me (on a weekend) "so what have you been doing?" The usual response is "oh...ummm...nothing, being lazy." I can't tell her the real response: "Oh I've just been reading/writing smut fan fiction stories." :)<br /><br />No one knows about my Twilight FF obsession. As Kenoshachick said, fanfiction is not on most people's radar and I would have to explain THAT whole concept first if I did tell people.<br /><br />(Oh and my work load at the office is often slow, so I too have stolen some time to read or write and many a time I too have almost gotten caught before I can hide or minimize the window!)Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058787052861067588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291157166360423354.post-8301224047842928472010-03-04T21:21:51.474-06:002010-03-04T21:21:51.474-06:00i know how you feel. i printed a few chapters of ...i know how you feel. i printed a few chapters of a very good but smutty story and forgot them in the printer. needless to say, my co-workers (who are really the people i supervise, b/c i'm there BOSS!!!) found them. they never said a word until we were all at a going away party for a collegue. Then they blew up my spot! I was embarrassed but tried to play it off like they were the crazy ones who were missing out on reading really good smut. Didn't work so much.

I am a self-proclaimed twi-addict and all my co-workers know it. However, nobody (and I mean nobody) is privy to my fan fic obsession. Even my fellow twi-tards have no clue that I spend my days off reading (and sometimes writing my own) fan fic. I can relate because I would be absolutely mortified if my secret was ever discovered. Thankfully I don't work in an office and I'm the one in charge!Michelle Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695912244527888319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291157166360423354.post-8315686595658787622010-03-04T16:01:28.635-06:002010-03-04T16:01:28.635-06:00Great column hun, your posts always make me laugh ...Great column hun, your posts always make me laugh out loud. <br /><br />I started reading MOTU around the 31,000 reviews part too. <br /><br />Good luck with your co-workers, though I'm sure they haven't made the connection to this. <br /><br />My mum used to tell me that the best comeback was 'so?' This worked pretty good in high school when I rocked up to a non-school uniform day wearing non brand clothes, one kid came up to me and told me I wasn't cool or something like that. I remembered what my mum had said, and while I cried on the inside on the outside I was like 'so?' <br /><br />I adopted this method whenever I was caught out and someone was being all judgemental about it, just the 'so what? i don't care what you think, i like what i'm doing, it makes me happy. so there' or something like that. <br /><br />All the best hon, but i wouldn't worry about it. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291157166360423354.post-86844275197471198162010-03-04T13:56:18.639-06:002010-03-04T13:56:18.639-06:00Well, then I'm really the last one to know abo...Well, then I'm really the last one to know about this master of the universe bussines...I still don't know it but believe me, I'm going to work on that right now.Stardust1https://www.blogger.com/profile/16461260631271305466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291157166360423354.post-30473686992210918152010-03-04T11:50:44.491-06:002010-03-04T11:50:44.491-06:00I really thought I was the last one to find Master...I really thought I was the last one to find Master of the Universe. Finding a great story when it already has a lot of chapters is always bittersweet for me. One because I can keep reading until my eyes dry out but oh that is the sweet part. The bitter is realizing on man I need to be getting up in hour. With the whole Twilight fanfiction being an addiction I completely understand. I once said "My name is Adrianna and I'm a twilight fan" to a group of friends when I got outed. I can't even remember what I did before fanfiction came into my life....<br /><br />WTF is favorite!

I've told my friends I write stories and even that I post them online, but I won't let them read them or tell them what they're about beyond a vague description. One afternoon, my friend leans over the table and says, "So...are they sex stories?" So that's where people's minds go? In my case the answer is no, but I suppose for many the answer would be yes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
