It really is a topic that I'd love to dive into further. I can see it tying into feminist theory about how women are less likely to write true autobiographies because they're afraid of offending people, even those who claim to love them no matter what.
Like you, I could never imagine hiding fandom from my partners and how much of who I am would have to change in order to do so. Because seriously, I have a huge ass DVD and comic book collection, action figures on my mantel, t-shirts about Star Trek, B5, WriterCon, Buffy, and Captain America, and those green and purple bedsheets are not by accident. We won't even talk about speech patterns or music on my iPod or how much my friends bring up tentacle monsters...
It really does boil down to honesty and I'm all about it, sometimes to a fault. One of Jason's very few rules is to be honest at all times no matter what and sometimes, it's not fun, but at the end of the day, I still prefer it.
