Yes, I've had a few people who aren't remotely interesting in BSB read my stuff, especially my non-fanfic stories. In my creative writing classes, we had to share the stuff we wrote so that really helped me with my shyness.
I'm not really ashamed of it like I once was. Although I did freak out a few weeks ago when I logged onto my web site and saw that I was logged in on another computer. I forgot to log out on my computer at work and left the window open, so one of my BFF's and co-workers, he read some of my stuff and said that he liked it and that I was a really good writer. So that made me happy.
I've just found that if you're going to be real and true to yourself, don't be ashamed of what you do.
