I've already mentioned fandom and fanfic in Ros' presence, but she's just tumbled to a another piece of the fandom puzzle.
We were visiting my mum this weekend, and last night Ros talked her grandmother into letting her watch Hockey Night in Canada. As I have absolutely no affection for hockey, and Ros was engrossed in the game, I pulled out my laptop and started working on my Take That secret agent AU. (32K words and counting!)
But then, without my noticing, during a break in play Ros came over and sat beside me and started reading over my shoulder. Which read to this exchange.
Ros: Is your story about the guys in Take That?
Me: Um...No! Absolutely not! What makes you say that?
I don't think she was convinced.
And man, why did she have to read the RPF? Though I suppose I should be thankful that it wasn't an obviously RPS scene. (Not that I'd write a sex scene with my mum in the room. She's already proven she's not above reading my stuff over my shoulder.)
Why is my family so nosy?
