I wish I could go back in time and tell myself that I need to keep my fannish activities more of a secret. I used to be friends with this guy who ended up marrying the woman who later became my boss. I didn't keep fandom a secret from him. In fact, we collaborated on what is probably the biggest fannish project I've ever undertaken--filming a Firefly movie with action figures and props--and it never occurred to me that him knowing about my lj/dw would be a problem, but it totally is. His wife hates me, and she gets to decide whether I get tenure or not. She's already denied tenure to another former friend of my ex-BFF because she's so insecure. I wish the two of them didn't know I was in fandom. I'm terrified she's going to whip out my journal and say, "Look at these Lucius/Draco" recs or that Elizabeth/Teyla rimming ladyslash. She cannot teach your conservative younglings! Let us set fire to her in the quad and read Deuteronomy by the light of immolation." *sigh* Until I have tenure, I cannot sit easy, and even then, I'm paranoid that she'll still try to kill me in my post-tenure review.

My advice, as paranoid and as negative as it is, is to be really really really careful about who you share your fannish activities with, especially if you are in academia or in K-12.

>_> Burying fannish activity right now. BRB

Not really but close enough. Ughhhh. Too bad I've been going by the same name in fandom for so long or I'd bury it all like whoa.

AYRT

Yeah, me too. And given one of the other secrets in this batch, I don't think I'd be able to build up a readership around a new name. :(

And I don't want to do the whole locking everything down either. How easy is it for people who already know my screen name to make a fake journal and beg to be added? No thanks.

I guess I'll just take my lumps if it comes down to it, but man. Sucks.
