Real-Person Fiction Discussion

This would be focusing on Real-Person Fic (Celebrity Fic), which seems to be understated these days.

I don't know if my attempts at writing Alternate History count, since they mention real people, but I'm uncertain if it would count as Real-Person Fic. (especially since one is an Alternate History of Henry VIII.

I was talking about celebrities. I had been trying to promote my fan-fictions. Another trope site was kind enough to open a page.

Most people consider Real Person fanfics creepy and invasive, which is why you shouldn't expect much activity in this thread.

I know, but you be surprise on much of audience they have in one site alone.

I have a sort-of RPF in the very early planning stages (as in I don't even know if I'll write it yet) where Ungern-Sternberg is the Big Bad and a Stand user. After reading up on the guy, I figure somebody that insane would make for a perfect JoJo villain.

I'm not into RPF works but they're very popular on other websites like AO 3. I wouldn't doubt more than a few tropers like them.

I used to be a slight Chenzel fan but I always feel embarrassed and awkward when I read RPF fics, even of those who died centuries ago. Historical domain characters are still a grey area.

Closest I've come to writing RPF are about The Protomen, who present themselves as characters within their own mythos so it's closer to Kay Fabe.

I did a Top Gear fanfic once, based off of Richard Hammond's line about a plasma-powered horse.
