That sounds like the right way to do RPF. Even more so if you lock your fic, so relatives of the people involved can't stumble across it by accident if they do a googlesearch for the celebrity's name.

This seems like an unnecessary step to me. As long as the story is clearly labeled Fiction, what difference does it make if a relative stumbles across it? If I found porn that someone had written about my dad, I would:

A. Laugh hysterically
B. Not read it

(Anonymous) 2015-02-21 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Locking's not a bad idea considering the trend of interviewers bringing up RPF (and fanfic/slash in general) to the involved actors.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-21 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
You know, that's a good point. Even if someone who writes RPF isn't sending it to the actors, other people might, or might find it and bring it up to them.

Or worse, to their kids.

IDK, it seems to me that the onus should be less on RPF writers to keep everything on lockdown and more on people to not be assholes.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-21 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
It should be, but people are assholes so you gotta do what you gotta do. As I recall, it used to be standard procedure to keep that shit on lockdown, in part to prevent people from using your fics as tools of assholery.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-21 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. You're the one writing the creepy porn, it's your job to keep it under lock and key.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-21 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, because that's exactly how porn works.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-21 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, no one stumbles across fanfic porn these days, don't believe that for a second.

(Anonymous) 2015-02-21 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. You can't make the process asshole proof and it's just not rational to hold people responsible for other people misusing their fic. For example, I could take anyone's fic and do something shitty with it, like harass the creators of a TV show about making it into a real episode. Does that mean every fic writer should lock down their stuff in case there might be an asshole with poor judgement reading it?

(Anonymous) 2015-02-21 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
I agree with this 100%

(Anonymous) 2015-02-21 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Be reasonable. If you're George Clooney's cousin and google him, then you shouldn't be shocked to find there might be some bad or weird stuff about him on the internet and it's NOT the world's job to protect you from this possibility.
