Okay. So you kids like your RPF. That's all well and good and dandy, I like me some RPF too.

But where I get pissed right the fuck off is when your little fic community is full of fics of a really implausible pairing, and every single fic includes a line about how the male half of the pairing's wife of nearly 9 years is a "crazy bitch." Usually enumerated by an actress known to be one of the classiest in the business, which just seems so out of character. Also, to write him cheating on said wife... just no.

(Literally. Every. Fic.)

Of course, seeing wank reports about various fandoms, I know that the real-life significant others of people who get in the way of their beloved ships often make fen froth and kermitflail, but this is such a small fandom, with a lot of not-as-well known people, I don't know why I assumed this one would be different.

It's disappointing to say the least. Guess I'll have to stick to the outskirts of the fandom once again, cause I don't want to get the crazy on me.

it's hard to write because it's "unrealistic." i wish some rpf fandoms really didn't have this massive trend towards completely mimetic fiction, complete with unhappy endings.
