I've never understood why discovering that someone you know IRL is in fandom should be such a hugely embarrassing thing. If you don't feel comfortable sharing that part of your life with your boss, or you think it would be unprofessional to make a fandom connection in your workplace, then by all means, don't mention it to her (either directly IRL or to the online identity you suspect to be hers), but why should simply knowing that this person has the exact same dorky hobby as you do be such a source of embarrassment?

Unless it's a matter of, "I can't read her porn now without picturing my boss and that's awkward," in which case, fair enough I suppose.

I think OP is weirded out just by the fact that their boss maybe writes hardcore porn.

I'm just hazarding a guess here... but I think it has less to do with their boss being in fandom (which they kinda already knew about), and more to do with the fact that their boss writes explicit smut.

And that they have probably read the explicit smut.

And possibly even enjoyed it.

I'd have trouble looking them in the eye, too.

I think I'm a bit weird insofar as I don't tend to get tremendously embarrassed by sex things, but I think I'd find it more awkward if I didn't enjoy the smut. Then I'd have to live with the knowledge that my boss writes bad porn.

Ooh. That would be horrible.

Well, I think some people just like to keep their fandom life and their real life separate. I know I wouldn't want my co-workers to know about my (pretty tame) fannish activities and I definitely wouldn't want to know about theirs.

Personally I'd be so freaked out I would have to consider changing jobs, but that's only because my boss is a very douchy person, with very volatile temperament, and who likes to torture people with cheeky comments when she's pissed, which happens often.

But then again, I have a very strict personal policy of never, ever check anything fanish online while at work...
