(Anonymous) 2011-04-02 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)(There's a fair chance I'm misinterpreting your comment here; I'm assuming that the 'this is why I don't do RPF' and 'if you think otherwise you're delusional' statements are directly connected, but I suppose it's possible that you instead think fangirling a celebrity is inappropriate regardless of RPF-writing or not, or some other interpretation that I've missed. If I'm correct in assuming that you've assumed that the OP is an RPF writer, though, I'm just pointing out that that's not necessarily the case.
This is the world's least coherent comment. I'm dreadfully sorry. Being an occasional RPF writer myself, I think I opened the comment box with the intention of defending myself, realised I was indefensible and decided to instead defend the secretmaker, who might actually be innocent.)
OP
(Anonymous) 2011-04-02 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)Basically, I have mixed feelings about RPF in general, and a lot of it feels weird because even if no one in my family has confirmed that they know these people, I keep thinking to myself "But what if they do?" and get extremely afraid to even mention the movies/shows/bands to family members in case they bring up that they DO know the people involved. And even with fandoms involving celebrities who I'm certain nobody in my family knows, I can't help but think "But these people could also have friends and family who are into fandom! And they could be reading these stories right now! I can imagine how weird that must feel for them."

(Anonymous) 2011-04-03 02:14 am (UTC)(link)I should have been more specific, yeah. Stuff like this, the fact that they're real people, is why I don't do RPF. It feels so wrong to write things about real people, regardless of how famous they may be.
The fourth wall comes into it because I've seen a lot of people use the "well they're famous and I'll never meet them, so it's just like they're fictional characters anyway" argument. To me there is no "fourth wall," you can't put celebrities in a box like that.
To me being a fan of a celebrity feels somewhat awkward, but is completely acceptable, so I guess I'm with the OP there. I guess my comment was a bit off-topic really.
I am also somewhat incoherent, and I apologize. I am not very good at wording my arguments the way I want them to come out.
OP
(Anonymous) 2011-04-03 03:29 am (UTC)(link)So I'm actually a bit glad you mentioned it, as that gave me a reason to discuss it.
