Note: This is the first RPS/RPF I have recommended. In case you don’t know what that means it stands for Real People Slash/Real People Fiction. So instead of writing about Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor, authors are writing about Gale Harold and Randy Harrison. I, personally, don’t have a problem with this genre but I know some people do have an issue with people writing these kinds of stories. If these kinds of stories bother you, then I suggest you don’t read them. I prefer BK & JT stories, but I do like GH & RH from time to time and I will be recommending RPS in the future; however, I will always indicate the story is an RPS story, so if you don’t like it you can skip it even though these are really great stories in my opinion!
