You have done good work, bringing more people to fandom! An inspiring story. ;-)
My one RL friend who used to write fanfic, including some fairly explicit slash, seems like a *very* wholesome person. It's been almost 10 years, so I don't remember too clearly, but I know we "came out" to each other at the same time about reading fanfic and then slash during a few conversations, kind of gradually testing the boundaries of what might make the other one flinch.
The few people in my life who do know about my fan interests (husband, sister) just aren't interested in the same way themselves. And the friend I mentioned above has moved on to other interests. So perhaps I'm hoping that this other friend would fill that gap.
