I don't normally read the comments for fandomsecrets, but for some reason I decided to when I saw this secret yesterday. And I couldn't stop laughing.

I'm an actor in a television series that's got a pretty active fandom- not on the scale of things like Doctor Who or Supernatural, but big enough. One of the biggest pairings in this fandom is slash and involves my character. Secret 1: I write slashfic about my own character and post it on a sock puppet livejournal. I've gotten some pretty good feedback on it, too. Secret 2: I know the writers on the show aren't going to take it that way, but I still would love to do a storyline that makes the slash canon.

About half of the commenters thought it was fake. The other half thought it was done by Bradley James (Arthur on "Merlin"). One person thought it was by someone in "White Collar". A second person agreed, but figured that it had to be Tim DeKay, because Matt Bomer was "too in the closet". And a third person thought it was Stephen Fry because of it being grammatically correct, but then decided it wasn't because it wasn't written in Latin.


I think they're thinking about this too much.

WTF? Matthew Bomer isn't "in the closet." He doesn't bring it up in interviews because it's not relevant to the show, but I thought everyone knew he was gay. Fandom Secrets is a hilarious place.

Yeah, it does seem to be an open secret. Though, it also seems like there are some people who are trying to squish that fact (though that's Hollywood for you). But I give him credit for going the "my private life is private" route every time it comes up. (Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with someone mentioning their family.) Fandom Secrets really is a hilarious place.

That's either the greatest thing I've heard this week, or the biggest psych ever.

Nah, that's not Stephen Fry because the phrasing is totally American rather than British.

But a real hoot anyway. And when even I know that Matt Bomer (whom I've never actually seen in anything, not even in photographs; I just know the name) is gay and out, well...let's just say his closet contains nothing but clothes!

LOL. :-D

I think you might like "White Collar" - it's a lot of fun.

Here are some pictures:

And here's Matt on "The Ellen Degeneres Show":
