I'm surprised! My friends and family are the last people I would show my work to, especially the erotic stuff. I'd much prefer they not even know that I'm writing my erotic stuff.

As for the rest of what I write, I'd only show my friends and family if I was already sure that it was good. I would hate to show them some junk and have them pretend to like it or make fun of me for it. I satisfy my urges for an audience with the internet, so much safer that way.
