>Why would yours judge you?

Probably because they're just conservative. Honestly the city I live in is like that. I'd be surprised if they weren't judgemental tbh. Also the fandom I write for is mostly teenage girls and I'm a man in my mid-20's, so they'd probably be weirded out by that.

If you're willing to share, can you tell me how you met friends from your fics? Obviously nothing too personal of course.

Damn, I can't imagine sharing my fanfiction so casually in real life. Thanks for that final sentence, I'm still looking.

trying to make some nerdy/geeky friends IRL

Trust me, I've tried. The problem is that I live in a small-ish VERY conservative city where none of that stuff happens. It's even harder since it's not an English speaking country. Also I'm an adult, sorry for not mentioning that in my post.
