My primary fandoms are entirely RPF, so I clearly have no problems with it as a concept, though I do believe in doing so responsibly and respectfully. I once realized that when you googled a certain athlete's son, the first things that came up (before his own statistics) were gay porn fics of his father. That kind of stuff creeps me out. Same with when people forget about the line between fanfiction and reality. Basically, I think RPF is awesome, but inherently a different beast than writing about fictional characters.
