Oh, I'm so with you on this sentiment. I think we're about the same age and sometimes I think am I being totally silly spending my leisure time watching/thinking about fannish stuff? Then I think, what else should I be doing? Worrying about the state of the world?? Everyone has a thing they do to pass the time and keep their brains occupied and happy. I don't know why what we like is labelled as not cool. It's awesome! And, for the most part, the community is filled with really great people!
I do, however, keep my online fannish life completely separate from real life. I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with letting family, friends, and coworkers know that I write fanfic. Isn't that silly??? I don't mind online friends knowing about my real life but I'd hate for real life friends to know about my fannish life.
