Real People Fanfic Complaint
So if you disagree with me (which I know some of you out there probably will) I accept your views on this topic and your insight. If you can convince me that I'm wrong, go ahead. I won't take offense to it, instead I may change my views.
So I love fanfics overall. I do enjoy them, but don't read them these days. However, I don't like fanfics using real people like K-pop or J-pop stars. I guess my issue is that they are real people and to me that is creeper than using anime characters. Anime characters aren't real and therefore the stories will never happen (unless the animators coincidentally make the same plots...but still...THEY AREN'T REAL PEOPLE). I guess I'm more okay with characters who are not real, but with real life people....I guess it just doesn't settle with me.
I'm mostly posting this b/c in one of my J-pop groups, someone posted a fanfic of a kid version of Jin Akanishi (singer in Kat-tun) talking to someone about puberty or something along those lines....seriously...it seemed kind of ridiculous to me that someone would write a fanfic of a kid version of a celebrity....but maybe that's my problem and it's perfectly legitimate....but for me I don't want to be reading that stuff....
