Text: I think I made a fandom friend. She liked my fic, we got talking, and now we’re messaging each other. I’m really excited. I haven’t really made a new friend in years, online or offline.

Here’s the catch: I know that’ she’s in college, which makes her at least a decade younger. We never specifically mentioned age, she knows I graduate, but it’s really easy to assume I’m a younger person, especially online: I’m not married, no kind, no stable job, have a casual boyfriend and squee about fandom.

I sort of feel like I’m lying by omission now, but I’d feel weird to just say “hey, you know I’m much older, right?” At this point I also just don’t want to lose her, but I don’t want to be seen as a creep, either. I just wish so much of fandom wouldn’t assume you’re a teen.
