I'm serious. The fandom's full of it. It's all over the place: in the Holy Musical B@man category, and in the Starship category, on FFN, and probably in other places, too, though I haven't had the heart to check. Seriously, when this is only the first of many similar ones that I found with no effort whatsoever...it really needs it. I mean, who writes this idiocy? If you're going to write RPF, at least write a polite disclaimer mentioning that these aren't fictional characters and you don't mean any offense to them, pay attention to what you can glean about their personalities from interviews and so on, don't make them into cliches, and, for goodness' sake, check your spelling and grammar and put some effort into your plot! Ugh.
So...we really don't take RPF on anymore? Also, could someone explain to me why we stopped? The wiki doesn't actually explain that, and I'm curious. I know there was a thread that touched on this not so long ago, but I don't remember a full explanation being provided. If there was one, and I missed it, feel free to just link me to the thread instead of wasting time re-explaining it.
This sort of thing just makes me sick. Seriously? They don't read like the Starkids. They don't even read much like any of the characters they play, except possibly for some of the ones in Little White Lie. They read like cliches, in a very badly written fic. And it just keeps on happening. So, if I can take on at least one of these, I'd feel a lot better.
Like I said: explanation, please?
