Panromantic at least sounds a little better while getting the point across. :3
I got started when I was maybe eleven or twelve? So I kind of grew with it. Sometimes I have to remind myself that 'normal people' don't use internet slang like het or slash or genderfuck or so on to describe stuff. :/
I think about forty people explicitly know; the rest infer. Correctly. :)
I bet one is! Fandom is huge and massive and ever growing, with all sorts of people stuffed into it. So it's entirely possible. :D There's a chance that, at some point, fandom is going to be known to pretty much everyone and not just internet trawlers. :P We'll take over the world! Or at least the market audience. Which has already started to happen, if you look at how closely Supernatural and Star Trek tailors to its fanbase.
