Porn on a Train

[evadne_noel]

This morning, on my way in to work via the Metro, I sat down next to a 50-something lady with her laptop open. I, being the nosy busybody that I am, glanced over at what she was reading.



It was Buffy fanfic porn. Spike/Xander, no less.









I'm trying to think of something witty to add to this, but I think it just speaks for itself.

I think people just assume people are their age. I think everyone is either my age or slightly younger. And then get weirded out when they talk about high school, or their child's high school.

You know, that is exactly right. Not so much with high-schoolers, but parents, definitely. Especially if the parent and child are in the same communities or fandoms or whatnot. Probably because my parents are not recreational net users.

I can imagine someone with a high school aged kid in fandom, but I've having a hard time imagining her in the same fandom as her high school aged kid.

Probably because it would have freaked me out to realize I was reading my mother's fanfic.

Though, I suspect this would only happen in a fandom like HP or Star Trek.

Or even worse- to have one's parents find one's fanfic. Not that I'm a big writer of fic myself, but still.

My parents know about mine, though there isn't much to object to in the Tales of Lord Voldemort and His Idiot Friends.
