I hid my online life from my parents for years, not because my parents had any idea that there was even such a thing as fanfiction, but because they were convinced that everyone on the net is a pedophile. Anyone I was talking to was probably a predator out to murder me horribly. Which, you know, is a problem on the net, certainly it is, but really - there's caution and then there's paranoia that makes your kid hide things from you. I'm hoping I'll know the difference when the time comes.
