I agree with Susan. I like to write papers on Harry Potter and I've
written a fair bit of fanfic in another fandom. To me that's fun.
My idea of fun is definitely different from some people, but not so
much from others (I'm not the only one writing HP papers and Anime
fanfic).

Also, when I'm at a HP conference I'm probably at least a bit
unrecognizable to my co-workers. I wear a hat and cloak. I am
definitely having fun recognizable by people I know or not.
