1. Sometimes when your kid is doing an overnighter at her grandparents, you go to bed at 3 and wake up at 2:43. And then IT IS TIME FOR BIB FORTUNA.

so I admit that I have read your RPF fics (though not cruentum's), and I've enjoyed them, in much the same way I think people read the national enquirer - with guilty gossipy pleasure, but with no expectation that the stories are in any way 'real' or truthful, as opposed to fictive.

your meta-post leads me to ask you (and cruentum) the larger question: Why write RPF? what do you see about it that is more, or differently, attractive than writing about fic characters? Did you find writing the Nick/Carolyn fic differently problematic than writing a John/Scott/Gaz fic, or are they similarly problematic, just on a continuum of scale? (I suppose I'm thinking of the closeness, or lack of same, issue here ( ... )

You have to read my RPF. It's awesome. (Even if less funny than Mandr's ( ... )

Second layer, and this is something both Mandr and I do in our fics specifically, I think, is to create a false reality, if you will. To make the world we write in as real and honest and truthful as possible with the information that is accessible and to build it into something that looks real, but isn't. It's almost a game, at that, to have references and internal references to one another's fics.

I like to call it playing "WHERE'S CRUENTUM?"

Also, see mah thang below. We like, attached it at different ends, like that horrible pic of John and CJ eating the spaghetti. You can be John. I'll be the dog.

Well, I don't do it about everyone. I think for me, it's a natural progression. Like, I don't write RPF for most things that I'm a fan of, but TW has afforded me the chance to talk about the actors more than I usually do (for instance, I never spent any time talking about Peter Wingfield when I was in HL). so it was natural to move from that duscussion to RPF/RPS. This i largely because I believe that I do my best at, hrm, well, I suck at meta, I think it's boring for the most part, and so I'd rather talk about meta by writing fic. This means that I have things to say about celebrity, and because my thoughts on them have been spurned by TW actors, they are where I go. In almost every single RPS I've written, it involves that. I'm not interested in...Scott and John domestic bliss etc ( ... )

You're our third, Mandr, definitely our third.

Until some cute boy walks past who Nick wants to snog (or, get into his pants).

WHAT? WHAT? I AM NOT. I AM MY OWN PERSON.

UNLESS I AM WRITING WITH NICK AND THEN WE ARE "FISHPONIES".

HAAHAHAHAH. I GET TO BE THE HEAD LIKE IN VOLTRON.

LOL okay that is it! FISHPONIES. :)

YOU CAN BE THE VOLTRON HEART. NICK IS THE COCK. BECAUSE IF DIDN'T LET HIM HE'D SULK.
