THIS.

I'm not in any RPF fandom (there aren't any celebs I like well enough) but I have friends that like it and it's not like they think they're writing about the PERSON but the PERSONA. It's pretty much ALL fanon with some canon stuff sprinkled in.

I'm very sorry OP had to go through that because someone you know doing that is threatening because "what if it's a fantasy" but in fandom... it's not like any of the writers want any of what they write to happen. There's a remove.

It gets creepy when other people show the fic/art/whatever to the celebs. Then it gets weird because they KNOW it could bother the celeb most RPF writers don't want that to actually bother the celebs... they just want to exist with their imaginations and squee with their friends. It's no worse than having a sex dream about celeb of your choice or reading gossip sites about so and so dating so and so.

+1. I think there's a big difference between writing something about someone you don't know, will probably never meet, and don't really know that much about and sticking it on the internet where they may or may not happen upon it, and writing something about someone you know personally and telling them about it, or showing your fic to a celebrity you've written about. There's a personal detachment to RPF in most cases which makes it much less squiky (to me) than showing your RPF fic to the celebrity you've written about or writing rape fic about your friend.

Yep. Not to mention that some celebrities, such as certain idols and pop band artists, deliberately play up their public interactions to spark the fans' imagination. It's all kayfabe and all part of their appeal, and both the celebrities and the fans know it's just fantasy - sort of like the trumped-up public rivalries of pro wrestlers who are quite okay with each other behind the scenes. And some RPF is more about casting celebrities in some alternate setting story, without purporting to represent said celebrity's persona at all.

The story about OP was creepy as hell, as is presenting celebrities with unsolicited RPF that they would otherwise avoid. However, those are instances of privacy violation and extreme oversharing - especially when someone's line of fantasy gives you good reason to fear that they want to assault you. I see that as clearly different from the likes of Steampunk Mythbusters, or a public-persona-based fantasy well removed from the actual humans behind the celebrity curtain.

it's not like they think they're writing about the PERSON but the PERSONA.

This is a completely awesome and succinct way of explaining RPF. +1 to you!
