Real Person Fiction: Difference between revisions

'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_person_fiction Real person fiction]''', also called real-person fanfiction, RPF, actorfic, or celebrity fanfiction, is fanfic that uses live, famous, real-world individuals as primary characters. As might be guessed, RPF's existence rests on questionable legal and ethical grounds; its use is often discouraged out of the well-reasoned fear of legal reprisals for libel, though some celebrities have actually encouraged RPF featuring themselves. Fanfiction.net banned RPF in 2002.
