I completely agree with you that when the subjects of your RPF decide to read your fic and then respond to it publically, that’s something you just need to accept as a potential result of having posted it in the first place.

OTOH, I remember back a few years ago, there was that one professional interviewer (Caitlin Moran I think her name was) who printed off someone’s Johnlock fanfic from the internet, and pressured Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch into reading some of it during a live interview. They were pretty clearly uncomfortable, but she just sort of badgered them into it. I though that was really not cool. Mainly, it was uncool to BC and MF, but it was also pretty hurtful to the fic author, and I think it was incredibly understandable that the fic author felt embarrassed and very stung (though she was a good sport about it anyway).

But in a situation where it's the subject of the fic itself doing the seeking out, then yeah, that's just a part of the risk you take by posting it where they could potentially find it, and getting butthurt about it is kind of ridiculous.

AYRT - Yeah. I think there's a huge difference between the subject of your your fic actively choosing to seek out rpf based on them and going, "Omg, I found this fic written about me; it's so weird!" and a third party using your fic to make people you admire uncomfortable.
