Surely people allowed to have hobbies?
Absolutely - but there's an *impression* that the world outside of fanfic have of the people who participate. I admit, I even have that thought about certain fandoms. <insert show name> Really? People write fanfic for that show?
Which is why I don't want people in my RL to know about my hobby but I'm okay with my family and one old friend knowing about it. It's the people who don't know me very well (or those who just think they know me) who might make an unfair snap judgment about me.
Then again, maybe they're right and I am just a tad too obsessed...
