Oops, I misread the "no1curr" part - OP is talking about the classmate not herself there, right? Understood and I get that it can be annoying...

Still... having been on the other side of that it might be possible the classmate is just looking for someone to talk to about her favorite stuff and just doesn't have the social skills yet to realize how annoying they're being.

ia on the lack of social skills part. that was my first thought too. i agree the classmate kind of comes off as oblivious, not really realising what she's doing wrong.

so i think it's probably not the classmate's fault she bothers people, but i don't think the OP is elitist for not wanting to get mixed up in that.

Yeah... I admit I agree - OP isn't really elitist.

I had this same problem with a coworker last year...she went on and on about Dr Who and her other fandoms and I just kept shtum because I didn't feel it was appropriate to talk about fandom with people I worked with. I never let her know how involved in fandom I was. If she'd wanted someone to talk to about that side of her life, she should have only mentioned it when we met up outside work; if she had, she might have got some decent conversation out of me, but because of her poor social skills I decided not to let her know.

NA

I have a coworker very much like this, except that she knows how involved I am in fannish stuff. She's very casual in mentioning her fandom involvement in the office, and I am terrified that someday she's going to bring me into it somehow because she doesn't seem to understand that I don't want to explain my smutfic to my coworkers. :/

Oh god. Should you maybe warn her not to? That is so awkward whatever comes of it, though. :(

I neglected to say in my previous comment - I had two fannish coworkers at that point. The other one was much more discreet, never talked about specific fandoms she was in but only about processes (like, art techniques and stuff) and sites she used, waited months before telling me her dA username when we were on break once (ie. NOT while we were working), and only ever got really fannish-at-work once when we were doing a nightshift together and were therefore the only two people around. I've considered reaching out to her as a fandom friend now I've moved on in life because she handled the whole issue so well and I think I'd trust her not to tell my fandom username to anyone else I know IRL. I definitely wasn't inclined to tell her while we were still working together, even though I knew hers; I do a lot of porn and she doesn't, so.

I've warned her not to, but she's not really a "think before you speak" kind of person.

There's another fangirl in my office as well, who I was close with both online and IRL before she started working there, and we're both very discreet, so it's a pretty sharp contrast. I just can't imagine wanting to try to explain fandom to my non-fannish coworkers. Even if they don't think it's insane, it's still not something they necessarily want to talk or think about.
