A Question.

What are people's thoughts on Real Person Fiction?  Have you read any of it?  Does the very idea of RPF squick you out?  Do you think less of a writer who tries her hand at RPF?  Is there some RPF pairing you would want to read or even write but don't?  Do you have an unabashed love of RPF (and don't care who frakking knows)?

I'm not saying yet why I'm asking!  But I am curious.

It does squick me out a lot. I tried to read one once, and I just couldn't do it. The justification I've heard is that the writers "treat them like characters," but, they're people, they're NOT characters. And I can't see them as any way but people.

I dunno.. it just feels wrong.

THAT SAID. There are people on my flist who write RPF, and I am more than capable of scrolling on by, lol.

You just feel wrong.

(Don't worry - I have decided that I ain't posting shit, because wow, was that a unanimous reply. Hee! My flist does not like RPF!)

I AM WRONG! *CRIES*

Aww, I'm sorry. You should find an RPF community or something, I'm sure they're out there!

Heeeeee, we found one called niche-rpf. Considering that I wrote about two actors from an old show, and it's not even rated R because I can't write porn, it's like...double niche.
