The funny thing is, I don't want her to know more because I worry she's going to think it's a waste of time (and that I should be writing more original fic) than because it's slash, or homoerotic.
I think this is a common neurosis--my mom knows about fandom and while she thinks my friends (those of you she's met) are lovely, that really is her biggest complaint... Plus I think the impulse to hide things from your parents is normal in adolescence and then when you get older it persists because it's just easier to tell them stuff on a need-to-know basis--unless you're really sure they won't suddenly be all, and why aren't you in graduate school/married/providing me with grandchildren yet? Which I think most parents have a rather disconcerting tendency to do at some point or other, usually when you least expect it *g*.
