And, since you don't know me that well outside of my writing, I'm thinking I should probably preface this with a tiny story, if you'll indulge me.
For most of my life, I've sucked at relationships, and thus have avoided them mightily. I've dated octopi, crazy bitches...okay, mostly crazy bitches. So, about 6 years ago, I was in a crappy relationship, with yet another crazy bitch, who was needy, clinically bipolar, and looking for someone to make it all right. In the meantime, I was becoming friends with another writer in wrestlefic who could write a scene that would make you alternately cry, laugh, and need new batteries. We started chatting, and we wrote a couple of fics together, that in retrospect, practially ooozed with UST. CrazyBitch promptly dragged her into our relationship, making it an online threesome. That lasted about three months, at which time CB decided that we weren't paying enough attention, and dumped us both.
After another year of mostly online dating interspersed with weekend visits (booty calls *grin*) now and again, she moved here, and five years later, here nilchance and I are, still together, and more in love than ever.
So, when I say, go for it, I know what i'm talking about. Sure, it has the potential to blow up in your face, but hey, so does life. And, when it does work... *grin* It's worth all of it.
