I may be in a similar position myself someday. I'll teach, too, and I imagine it'd be awkward to see one of my students somewhere (anywhere; even somewhere unrelated to fandom, like a supermarket). I think what I worry about is whether they'll take pictures to document their bemusement at seeing their teacher outside of school (at a fandom event, no less). We're of course allowed to have lives and enjoy things, but administration may disapprove. It's already a ~thing here that they investigate our online lives before offering positions. So I understand your precaution. Still, just try to have fun. As I said, it's your life and your enjoyment, so long as no one's getting hurt.

Wait, they investigate online lives? But how deep can they search, really? I mean, I assume they can go pretty far, but could they easily find your fanfiction/Livejournal/etc? They could look at my Facebook all day and find nothing because I rarely use it. But I do go by the same name in fandom. -_-

This is what really disturbs me now. I can see checking with the police for a criminal history etc, but what I do at home or online should have nothing to do with whether I get a job, provided I am qualified for said job. Why should my hobbies and interests be a "black mark" just because the hiring committee doesn't agree with them?

It really bothers me that they're even allowed to do such things, and I've heard of some places demanding you log in to your facebook/etc so they can see unrestricted things. It seems to cross a line between work and home that I don't like at all.

I work to pay my bills. My propensity for enjoying slash fiction and bad action films has nothing to do with my ability to do my job.
