I really like fanfiction. Reading and writing it. Nobody in my life knows and I plan on keeping it that way.

Surprised how often "furry" came up in this thread. Seems like it would be more fun if more people IRL knew. Granted, perhaps its probably better when those IRL people originally were online furry friends that became IRL friends? Idk. Don't consider myself a furry, but also not exactly not-a-furry. But its no secret I watch a lot of furry twitch streams for my immediate family.

I've never been one for the "fandom". I just like the pretty pictures. Otherwise, the term has so much baggage since it's so all-encompassing that depending on your social status or workplace, you might not "survive" it coming out
