I can definitely understand being embarrassed if some socially-awkward fan shoves their (or someone else's) fandom activities in an actor's or creator's face, but I feel like if said actor or creator actively chooses to go seek out fanfic or fanart about them, it's no longer on the fans to feel guilty or embarrassed. I personally don't write RPF, but if an actor or writer happened to find any of my fics, I think the thing I'd care most about is whether they thought I did justice to their character(s).

Pretty much. I don't blame people who don't want to write in fandoms where the actors or creators are very aware of their fanbase, but I also don't think you need to feel ashamed if they go looking for it.

I've not heard of them seeking it out of their own volition. Mainly there are some obnoxious fans who strongly disapprove of the part of the fandom that write fic that love to bring it up to the band to, I guess, make them feel like we're weirdos. It doesn't help that said obnoxious fans purposely seek out the small minority of REALLY fucked up or weird fic and show them that, instead of the majority of innocent or more normal fic (like, they show them mpreg and cannibalism and shit. There's only a fraction of that, but that's what they choose.)

And it's come up in interviews in the past, with the interviewers being extremely creepy and pushy about it.
