I understand what you mean. Fandom friends know about who I am as an original fic writer, but the other way around? Not so much. Though I'm realistic enough that's simply a matter of time. But then, I can't change my writing history, and the only way to avoid any risk is not publishing, or if I do publish, keep as quiet as possible (and even then...)

The hardest is getting my work outside the close circle of flisters to those who are simply interested in a particular story. Word to mouth is still the best way to do that.

I've read it on your LJ. I'm more than happy to send her a copy. I just need a mail address and to know if she accepts attachments. I'd tell her myself, but I don't want to come across as some kind of creepy stalker.
