You're right. Perhaps I should have clarified what I meant. I meant serious lurking, because like everything else there are degrees of lurkdom. And from her comments in the S1 episode it is possible that she joined the fansite recently solely to learn more about the character based on her (a definite possibility, and I think something a lot of people in her position woudl consider doing).
I was thinking more dedicated lurking. As in, she'd done it long before she met him (I know she's a fan, but you can love an author and not have any desire to follow them on the internet), as in she lurks in more than one fandom, and uses fandom to decompress, even if she doesn't participate.
Her comments in S1 (as I remember them) don't really put her on any specific place on a lurkdom scale, just confrim that she has at the very least visited a fanboard. I was putting her at the higher end. Not insane, but seriously invested.
Which, reading my original post back probably wasn't clear at all.
