Question of the Day - Part 4

I was thinking yesterday about how we all like to write different things and the reasons I like to write what I do, and I came to the conclusion that there are three types of fanfic writers:
1. Writers who write about things they wish would happen, or their greatest fantasies.
2. Writers who write about things they hope never happen, or their worst nightmares.
3. Writers who write about things that really did happen, either in the Boys' lives or their own lives.
I'm sure most of us do all three, to some extent, but which category would you say you fall into most of the time?

I've written in all three.
My early stories are more or less number 1, I've self-inserted with a few stories and they've been romance. Although to be honest, I wouldn't want them to come true! Like with Ten Things, I had the character (who happens to be called Steph but is not really like me) marry AJ after a drunken night in Las Vegas.
Now I'd say I write a mixture of 2 and 3. I'd never want any of it to come true (like the plane crash in Save A Prayer, or being executed at the age of 30 like Unwinding Truth), but it's fun to write it.

I have a question which has probably been answered before but I can't remember.
Do your friends/family in real life know that you write fan fiction?
RokofAges75:
I don't know if that was ever an official question, but I know we've discussed it - but that's okay, because some people are just joining in and maybe didn't answer it before.
My immediate family - my parents and my sister - know I write fanfic. My sister knew almost from the beginning because we still shared a bedroom when I started, so it was kind of hard to hide it from her. My mom knows about my site, but has never read my stories - she promised she wouldn't way back when she found out about my site, and I actually think she's kept that promise. I have to give her credit; I think I would totally snoop to see what my kid was writing, but I don't think she really cares to read stories about the Backstreet Boys, even by me. I think if she had read some of them, she probably would have mentioned it by now. She's the only one who ever asks me about my site or my writing, but it's usually with the attitude of, "Are you still doing that?? When are you going to stop writing about the Backstreet Boys and write a real book?" My dad is completely computer illiterate, so I doubt he's ever seen my site.
None of my real life friends know, and I would be mortified if they found out LOL.
