In response to question 1--I haven't felt the need to f-lock anything yet. I write about whatever I'm feeling, but I think I feel more comfortable doing it on LJ because I have a lot more anonymity. I have another blog that all my friends know about. This is my TV fandom/obsession/fic journal. I wouldn't die of total humiliation if rl friends found it, but I might clam up a bit. You're not a freak at all. I use cut tags if I think something is boring and not everyone wants to read about it.
In response to 2--We are different. My boyfriend teases me about the way I watch TV. I get physical reactions from things--I shake with anticipation, I get jittery, I bawl uncontrollably, etc. I am much more of an active participant than a passive viewer. I question things and research things, etc. I think you're on to something about fen being whole hearted in every aspect of life. I'm kinda this crazy when it comes to food, work, school, etc.
I'm more comfortable dorking out on LJ than I am in real life. Mostly because I think others wouldn't understand--a lot of my friends have never been part of a fandom! :(
The meta made my brain hurt. Must sleep.
P.S. To add to my novel-length comment, I'm praying for you. I mainlined season 1 of BSG after seeing the first half of season 2 and the mini. So out of order! I was already totally emotionally involved with the characters and then going backward just about killed me. Enjoy the pain and suffering. Then you'll have to wait until October just like the rest of us.
