Thanks for making my secret lovely anon!

I was definitely hesitant to tell my bf about the fact that I read and write fanfic but it's absolutely turned out better than I thought it would. He teases me sometimes about characters I love 'so how much waxingly poetic fanfic have you written about this one?' 'shaddup', he also likes to try and guess what I end up shipping from something or even guess what the fandom's ships are.

It's nice to have someone else to share that with even if he doesn't fully get the enthusiasm for it.

He also likes to give me weird-ass story or shipping prompts sometimes.

That's really sweet <3

It took me half a year before I fessed up, but I'm glad I did. He'll never get what appeals to me, but you should be able to trust your better half with these things.

And, god forbid, should we ever break up, I'm sure there will be other stuff that feels more important to us both.

I've written fanfiction for years and if my long term SO knows, they didn't hear it from me. I like keeping it separate from real life.

I've never hidden being a fannish geek who has gone to cons and done cosplay (no time or money for it right now) and talked about fannish stuff online from someone I was dating... but I've never told a partner about reading fanfic, especially slash. I haven't been in a relationship where I felt this was for the long haul and should put everything on the table, though.

OT: man, my spell check really wanted me to be a "Finnish geek. "

Honestly, don't date anybody who you think would mock you about your interests. It's not worth it even if they're cute/the sex is good. If you don't trust them with the fact that you're geeky, then what?

-sincerely, someone who got mocked about their interests and is engaged to a fellow geek.

Date a geek, OP! My partner of many years and I are both nerds (with some shared fandoms, some not) and I would never date anyone who would mock my fannish interests. And of course, I would never mock theirs.

I'd be worried about the same thing. People know I'm geeky, but only my best friend knows that I write slash fic, get super upset over the deaths of anime characters, and have a tendency to squee when something cute happens in the thing I'm reading/watching (though I squash down the urge to do that when I'm in public).

I like to keep it somewhat separate in my marriage. My husband doesn't really 'get' why I like to read/write fanfiction, but he acknowledges that it makes me happy. And I don't go forcing it on him or anything like that. Which is just fine by me.

I met my husband in a RP and called him creepy on very first day so impossible to be un-nerdy. His job back then was for a prop studio working for Universal, now it is minding workshop in his own college. His job is being a nerd, he has to be on top of nerd things and him and his co-workers are huge arse Jurassic Park and Harry Potter fans. They make dinosaurs at work.

I do get you OP as all the geeky stuff consumes ... a lot of time and a bit hard to suppress it if you kind of merge it with your daily routine. However, the good news is: most people are nerdy about something and your potential partner will have their thing they probably will worry about same as you. We all have our guilty pleasures, cheesy passions and interesting hobbies plus it is fun to share them. It is also cool to have different ones but yep - most respect whatever their partner does or likes even if they do not.
