Personally I LOVE RPF, which is probably the reason why the lack of quality fics frustrates me so much. I'm mostly annoyed that the vast majority RPF fics are AUs. I like RPF because I want to read about certain actors, not because I want to read about someone's student/fireman/coffeeshop owner OCs who share a name and looks with some actor. That's not RPF, that's original fiction. I suppose it makes people feel like what they're doing is less skeevy, but then they should just write original fic.

That's original fiction to you but not to everyone.

Writers should write what they want to write.

+1 I write tons of RPS, some AU, some not. I don't consider the AU stuff to be original fiction because I try to weave in the RL people's personalities, quirks, etc. It's not just that they physically look the same.

Yes. Most of RPF is original fiction. People are basically using the actor's faces for their characters. But nearly no one admits it's original fiction. For most people it's RPF. Aaaand that's what's skeevy.

Or maybe they just want to write an AU. Personally, I've only come across AUs from prolific writers, which is probably because those are the ones that get bored with writing the same basic storyline every time. AUs in RPF are no more original fiction than AUs in other fanfic.
