So, the Dream SMP. For those that don't know, essentially, a bunch of streamers roleplay characters. But it's a bit different from typical TV, because the characters are very closely related to the streamers.
The fanbase is mostly comprised of 10-18 year olds, and bad writing is pretty rampant. But the thing is, the line between Real People and canon characters is pretty thin. They tend to go by the same name and have similar personalities, but canon characters have their own backstories and powers like a book or movie character
So yeah, I was just wondering. Would fics about the canon characters count as badfic and then ones about the Real People be still badfic but not in the PPC jurisdiction? What about ones where the character being canon or not isn't specified. Would they be sporkable?
(this isn't because I want to write a DSMP mission, this is because I have a large quantity of canon character badfic and I'm curious)
