P isn't as much of a fan as I am, but he couldn't resist asking when I started sniggering at something I'd read, and I think he just became intrigued. I tried to get someone at work interesting in it as well, but I could see the shutters go down when I started talking about what it was about :/
Unfortunately, most of the LJ communities I've seen related to forensics seem to be filled with either posts from people wanting to find study options or get into it as a career, or teenagers who get off on rotten.com images of death and dying. Personally, I just like to watch Discovery channel forensic science shows and read murder mysteries and books about criminalism - it's just... interesting, I guess. I don't think I'm a particularly morbid person, drooling over gruesome details, I just like the detective work side of crime and medicine.
