'''[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 (usually) 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.
Fewer legal and ethical issues are seen when the Real Person appearing in the fanfic is actually long departed. [[The Sidhe]]'s long-running [[series]], "[[The Other Side of Time]]," features a number of major American Civil War personages, primarily from the Confederate side.
