I find your point of few rather strange and confusing.

It really sounds like there's a huge fanon for the characters, very loosely based on their actual lives and casual relationships, but the relationships in the fics are usually manufactured, because with few exceptions, most of these people aren't boinking their costars -- it's just that it would titillate the writers and their audience to think of them doing so.

So that puts RPF in a weird nethersphere where it isn't actually based on a real person, and yet it still pretends to be based on a real person. There isn't much actual Real Person other than the name -- at least not from the point of view of that Real Person himself. For me this is really messing with the Real Life/Fantasy boundry. Are you writing about real people in the sense of a biographer? If so, is it ethical to make up things about their lives? Or are you writing based on an idealized version of what you wish these people would be like -- and treating them as if they were fictional?

RPF is generally based on the public personas of the people involved. An RPF writer would consider all their public appearances and interviews to be the "canon" and are often not particularly interested in whether or not those people's actual lives bear any resemblance to that persona. To assume that they're attempting to be biographers is to miss the point.

Or are you writing based on an idealized version of what you wish these people would be like -- and treating them as if they were fictional?

This is closer to the truth. Though instead of "based on an idealized version of what you wish these people would be like" I'd say "based on the public personas they've crafted."

Again, very few people (tinhats excepted) are making any attempt to write about what's "actually" going on. They're writing stories about the public personas of actual people, which are often just as manufactured as the characters actors play.
