Well, I think Kelly mentioned that her husband knows she writes fan fiction... But there again Kelly is not one of those super scary sex obsessed fan woman types LOL

lol see, Kelly is so normal i'm not even thinking about her.

I know some normal people who are married and write Bsb fanfics and their husbands know... like Kelly.  She says her husband teases her about it, but she's obviously open about it with him, and he seems cool with it.  He made us that awesome 00Carter pic, didn't he?  That's not weird to me at all; it's her hobby, and she's not out there writing obscene visuals all over the place.

Her stories are very mild. :) The people here are very sane.

I know LOL... you've got 50-year-old women writing Nick visuals, and it's like, uh... when you were Nick's age, he was 4 years old.  I'm sorry, but that's weird!!  I've got no problem with people that age being fans, but lusting after them like that kinda weirds me out.

God... When you put it THAT way... *shudders*

No one knows I write BSB fan fics and I hope to keep it that way

I agree. I think it's only strange if you're running around writing obscene visuals... It brings Cougar to a whole new level...

See it can happen! A woman can be married, have a family, be a BSB fan, write BSB fiction and STILL be completely sane!
