Of course, this fandom has more high quality porn/erotica than I was ever exposed to, before.

Interesting you say that - I don't have much experience outside this fandom, so I haven't much to compare to. I felt a small flush of pride for our fandom, there: oh, we're the best sex writers evah!

You know where I really notice the change over two years - when I talk about/skirt around what I write with my RL friends. Used to be I was very closemouthed about all aspects of it, but now that I'm so accustomed to the topic, I say more than I probably should.
