Re: Can someone please explain to me the appeal of RPS/RPF?

I think it's exactly what you said: at the end of the day, you don't really know them. So taking into account the constrictions of what you do about their real lives and their careers and their public personas, you have a lot of room to speculate and come up with ideas and explanations and theories. The appeal comes from the challenge of fitting the outlandish stories and personalities you come up with into the constraints of RL facts.

Also, it's fun to put a layer of subtext onto what you see of their characters onscreen, in the case of actors. Like, everyone in the fandom is familiar with "that scene", so then you can write about what the acts were doing right before/after "that scene", what they felt about "that scene", how turned-on they were during "that scene", etc.
