My family is better than they used to be. My sister is pretty geeky herself (I'd also say she merrily wrote fanfic before knowing it was a thing) and so is my sister-in-law (she's actually the one person who's wanted to read Evening Tide so far), and my parents are iffy but not entirely negative (I'd worry about getting the "you should be doing something monetizable" and Mom has like negative grimdark tolerance, but they're not completely clueless and have read my stuff before).
(And even/especially if the world sucks and is terrible, it's good for people to have fun, positive images of agency and efficacy to help empower them. Easy to say...)
