My mom gets it! Well, okay, not really.

I just went out to a lovely dinner with my mom at the local diner.

While there, I decided I might as well bond a little, so I asked her if she wanted to read one of the stories I'd written.   She said yes, as long as it's not too long, and I pointed her to a short, relatively PG story.  I guided her through the characters of the show, and told her about fanfiction.  She read the story, and commented that I was a good writer.  It was obvious that she didn't really *get* it, but she was mildly supportive.  At least she wasn't telling me it was a waste of time.

We moved on, after we got our dinners, a chicken caesar salad for me and a hot turkey sandwich for her.  Midway through our munching, she says, and I quote, "So you took these characters out of the show," (slight pause here, where I expect she's starting to get it, that I write about these guys and such) "and you made them gay."

Salad, meet face.

Yeah, mom, that's what I did.

*smooches to all*

eum... Is that a bad or good reaction comming from your mum? ^^''
*curious*

[krossero.livejournal.com]

It's...good, I guess. She's just sort of confuzzled by it all, I think. But I seriously almost lost it in the middle of the restaurant, it was so funny. *bg*

Mom, meet slash! *g*

[krossero.livejournal.com]

Hee! My none of my RL peeps seem to really get it. Sadly, surprisingly, and scarily, it's my DAD that comes the closest to 'getting' it. Sigh.

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

My Mum knew I read fan fiction, but not that it was slash. My J. and our kids know about it, but I don't really want anyone else in my RL knowing about it. They'd all judge me and none of them would get it. Too old, I guess. =>}

Again, sigh. I'm only 18! I should be able to find *some* fangirls IRL somewhere, shouldn't I? Oh, well. Maybe in college. :P

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

Good luck.

I'm 58. All of my life, from when I was a girl, I slashed in my head. I never knew how many others did the same thing until I got online in 1996. It was a whole new world out there for me. *g*

[krossero.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well, the times are a'changing! But I'm pretty content here with my online family.

It's just that I like to have some sort of answer when my friends/family ask "What the heck is it that's taking up so much of you time lately?"

Just this little obsession, guys. Nothing to worry about. *g*

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

My few friends in RL here have no idea what I do with my spare time and for the rest, the explanation of fan fiction is more than enough. =>}

[krossero.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have some friends who're into fanfiction, just not *slash* fanfiction. It's in a whole 'nother class. :D

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

I'll read the odd Gen. story, but slash is where I want to be most of the time.

They STILL don't need to know that, ever. *g*

[krossero.livejournal.com]

LOL

[fluterbev.livejournal.com]

LOL! Yep, that's pretty much what my family back home have said that I do, as well ;-)

[krossero.livejournal.com]

*g* She can't seem to wrap her mind around "taking two perfectly gorgeous men and taking them out of the running."

Oh, mom. :D

♥

[fluterbev.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yep, it's a bit hard to explain that, "No, I don't want to sleep with them. I want them to sleep with each other while I watch!" \o/

[krossero.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear. O_O I can only imagine the reaction if I put it that way...

As it is, I get my fair share of odd looks directed my way every day. After that, I'd be surprised if my mom ever considered me sane again! *g*

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

*g* Well, at least she didn't shriek in horror or anything.

[krossero.livejournal.com]

LOL! Yep, that's definitely a Good Thing.
