And that is before Mrs @oneagainst starts reading more of those 1M words and the hard questions start:

Mrs Oneagainst: "The things the men do to the women, the women do to the men, and the women do to each other in your stories.... Oh my God! So I am I to believe you want me to do to you.... you want to do to me... you want that young blonde from your work to do to us...."

Talk about shivers. Of course, there is always the possibility it all works splendidly and you got your new biggest fan. Best of luck mate! I truly would like to know how it all works out.

Before we go any further, can I point out that I showed her, uh, a more mainstream part of the corpus. Not Alena's Game or The Light Between The Trees. I'm dumb, I'm not suicidal. If she asks for more, I'll give her Love Is The Last and hope she doesn't dig any further because after that, it's turtles all the way down.

"I read Alena's Game, ch 5, and I bought some clippers, dear. I'm assuming you're into this stuff, right? That's it, just bend over."

My best friend knows. Not his genre - he doesn't give a hoot.

My wife knows, but not her genre. She hasn't read my online piece yet. My next arc has been in her hands to beta read for almost 3 months for comment and she's only read 2 chapters. At least I've forestalled the potential trainwreck that @oneagainst fears...

The calm before the storm...? You get home one night and get those dreaded words: "honey, we have to talk".
