* Forget about all the photoshops and fanfiction, even the BritishNewspapers were getting in on the HoYay of the [[BritishPoliticalSystem 2010 British Parliamentary elections]] between Conservative [[{{Seme}} David Cameron]] and Liberal Democrat EstrogenBrigadeBait [[{{Uke}} Nick Clegg]], respectively. Poor GordonBrown is pretty much left behind as the RomanticRunnerUp. Clegg's status as Cameron's personal bitch has only gotten worse in {{Fanon}} as accusations of him selling out for power pile up. That both attended very posh schools where there supposedly remains a tradition known as 'fagging' for older boys have not helped either.
** There's even been media-endorsed [[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/parliamentary_sketch/article7132376.ece Mpreg]].

** And while ''DoctorWho'' RPS is typically limited to new Who actors, there is floating around on the internet Patrick Troughton/Frazier Hines slash.
** Then there's [[http://sam-storyteller.livejournal.com/129218.html this]] story, written in response to David Tennants' shocked reaction when he was exposed to Doctor Who slash fic on a British chat show. This RPF story suggests his costars from ''DoctorWho'', ''{{Torchwood}}'', and ''HarryPotter'' all teased him by showing him that oh, there was SO much more than that. (The story is SFW, and is a delight.)

*** Essentially the basis of Pete Wentz's entire career. Both within his own band, Fall Out Boy, and between all of the bands on his label. He loves to encourage fans to pair him with lead singer Patrick Stump, and has had the following (joking) remarks to say about Patrick on the band's official website Q&A [[http://www.falloutboyrock.com]]:

** Jeanette/Miranda is somewhat popular too.

* Can't believe that German rock band TokioHotel haven't been mentioned yet. Seriously, there is tons of the stuff floating around the net, like [[http://www.twckaulitz.com here]] and [[http://www.tokiohotelfiction.com here]] and [[http://tokiohotel-fff.get-forum.net here]]. Tends to mainly be TwinCest shipping between Bill and Tom Kaulitz, or band member/fan/AuthorAvatar fics. Both are pretty common. But seriously, some of the stuff on these sites is written by fourteen year olds, and would probably scar everyone else for life.

* While not really "fanfiction" per se, the use of [[HistoricalDomainCharacter historical figures]] in fiction has gone on since before the time of WilliamShakespeare, [[ShakespeareInFiction himself subject to incorporation into historically-based fictions]].

* TheBeatles seem to lend themselves quite well to this due to their almost mythical status. This is probably because of their relatively short lived career, leading a lot of fans that want more than just the decade of activity filling in more of what they view should have happened after 1970. It also helps that there are three movies featuring them as themselves, each one goofier than the last.
** Fandom invokes John Lennon's questionable sexuality in 99.9% of the fics. Interestingly enough, most of fics do NOT include Brian Epstein, their openly gay manager.
* Perhaps because of his flamboyant nature, people just love to use DavidBowie as a character in their fanfiction.
** He admittedly does lend himself to it. However, as often as not he ''is'' being Ziggy/Thin White Duke/Halloween Jack/what have you at the time...
*** There is also a fair amount of [[ScrewYourself Bowie on Bowie]] fanfiction, clearly due to his numerous personas.
* Most {{Boy Band}}s are ripe for [[SlashFic slashing]] due to their prepackaged FiveManBand archetypes.
** [[ThePlotReaper Both kinds, probably]], if [[MostFanFicWritersAreGirls most Fan Fic writers weren't tweens]].
** Japanese and Korean boybands acknowledge and encourage the slashing to a ridiculously high degree. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWEfliT3aik This painfully awkward interview with Jaejoong and Yunho]] of [[DongBangShinKi TVXQ]] illustrates the trend to a T. Their ridiculous stage gay is almost a market in and of itself.
* There are numerous fanfics of the various members of My Chemical Romance, usually involving the band members becoming teachers in the fan's school or something along the lines.
** Not solely limited to MCR. Quizilla (before it was overrun by bad anime fics and relaunched to many a user's agony) was particularly infamous for "bandfics" that were wish fulfillment for extremely horny girls, starring characters from any band that featured a moderately attractive male, from Simple Plan to All Time Low and EVERYTHING in between.
** Also, bandslash. ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Tends to be significantly better written than the Sue!fic, and significantly less concerned with reality.
*** Essentially the basis of Pete Wentz's entire career. Both within his own band, Fall Out Boy, and between all of the bands on his label. He loves to encourage fans to pair him with lead singer Patrick Stump, and has had the following (joking) remarks to say about Patrick on the band's official website Q&A [[http://www.falloutboyrock.com]]:
--->"His body is made up of kittens, Saturdays, 70 degree weather, first kisses and butterflies. Trust me, I cut that bitch open once to check."
--->"We try to keep our relationship strictly sexual."
--->"We are in love and live in a castle in the sky. Our next door neighbors are carebears."
--->"Patrick is the love of my life but I can't deny Joe's doggie style. They are both pretty good in bed I guess."
*** Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie and now former lead guitarist Ryan Ross fought rumors for several years that they were really dating because they always had the stage-gay dialed to eleven. Probably Pete's idea.
**** Pictures [[http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo265/Blossom_Morphine/Ryden-exists.jpg like]] [[http://i382.photobucket.com/albums/oo265/Blossom_Morphine/exists.jpg these]] probably did not help at the time.
**** On the same topic, Brendon and Pete are both [[LauncherOfAThousandShips launchers of a thousand ships]], Pete because he knows pretty much everyone on his label and the label he's signed to, and Brendon because of the above pictures and, undoubtedly, [[http://img.buzznet.com/assets/imgx/3/2/2/7/3/2/1/orig-3227321.jpg this]].
**** The entire Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance group (and their friends) are pretty easy to ship, seriously.
* The cult British indie band The Libertines are probably only remembered now as being the group that brought supermodel-chasing drug-botherer Pete Doherty into the public eye. That band's dissolution hinged on Doherty's fractious (although not gay) relationship with guitarist Carl Barat. The band's self titled (and final) second album [[http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff315/libsdom/Carl%20and%20Peter/libertines.jpg cover]] sees a vacant, mildly distressed Barat cradling a collapsed Doherty.

* Try to find a non-{{Lemon}} fic about Paris Hilton... I dare you...
** ''[[WaxMuseumMorgue House Of Wax]]'' {{Death Fic}}s.
* I have seen metric buttloads of RealPersonFic taking place behind the scenes of ''TheLordOfTheRings''. It's especially popular to make the very {{Bishonen}} OrlandoBloom a {{Woobie}} and {{Uke}}. One fic made him a {{Hermaphrodite}}... and had him [[MisterSeahorse impregnate himself]].
** Speaking of Orlando Bloom badfic, there was once a story on a badfic LJ community involving [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom]] killing and eating KeiraKnightley, then shagging over her carcass. {{Squick}} {{squick}} {{squick}} {{squick}} {{squick}}.
*** Or, depending on your sense of humor, that sentence above is DeadBabyComedy at its finest (though I'm sure the fic was [=~So Bad It's Horrible~=]).
** When you realize that there were people who were [[DaydreamBeliever 100 percent convinced that this RPF was actual Hollywood insider information]] and that Bloom and Viggo Mortensen were involved in a super secret gay relationship and basically stalked both actors in the pursuit of "proof," it makes these stories seem like nothing in comparison if the authors were well aware they were writing fiction.
* Back in 2004 someone actually published a humorous story in ''The New Yorker'' where an unidentified diarist who was obviously Bush confessed to having a mad crush on John Kerry. One only wonders if that author knew of the Kerry/Edwards slash being written on the net at the time...
* Go on {{YouTube}}. Now, in the search bar, type in ANY word that has some sort of relation to love or romance, or could be used as a cliche metaphoric word in a love poem. Now, count how many "JonasBrothers Love Stories" you find. And it doesn't just have to be a love-related word. Sometimes typing in completely random words like "stairs" and "lunch" will also get you pages of these.
* There is ''Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds'' slash out there. One wonders if the band knows. [[PortmanteauCoupleName Nixa]] is my personal favorite.

** This depraved troper demands a link! Or several if available...
*** [[http://community.livejournal.com/topgearslash/ Have the comm. Yes you will need a Livejournal to join.]]

* There was an explosion of this, mostly about Zac and Vanessa, after HighSchoolMusical came out.
* Don't forget about all the historical slash. Usually slightly less tawdry than other real-person fic, at least in premises -- because history has basically lent the various personages an air of being fictional anyway. Founding Fathers slash, FrenchRevolution slash...
** Oh, like [[CrackPairing John F Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev]] ''weren't'' bonking.
** Elizabeth I with [[LauncherOfAThousandShips pretty much anyone she'd ever met]], including her sister and cousin (both named Mary).

* My local street press published a full page fanfic about the first meeting between Jack and Meg White. He later wrote a story about their fictional kid in the future...

* The Internet has been lately seeing ''tons'' of fics involving BarackObama, John [=McCain=], and GeorgeWBush.
* Gackt, [[strike:sometimes]] usually slashed with some other J-musician. These include most of guys he's worked with, especially Hyde, Miyavi, Mana, YOU (his violinist), Kami and Masa.
** Of course, his onstage gay is ''also'' dialed to eleven. I'm pretty sure he's bi.
** Japanese rock and metal bands fall under bandslash. Nearly any band will have some. Some bands play to the slashers and don't mind the slash, others are.... less welcoming. That said, some bands also have a BrokenBase even if the band itself is in favor of or doesn't mind the slash, where non-participating fans will loathe the participating fans as "yaoi fangirls" or "gay."
* The ''MuggleCast'' guys have quite a bit written about them. It is slightly more popular amongst another spin-off podcast that they did, SmartMouths, but... yeah. There has even been one story written by one of the hosts, though it is pretty much a ''DeadFic'' since she left for Costa Rica.
* ''LiberalityForAll'' features several famous conservative icons fighting an evil liberal U.N dominated United States.

* Non-FanWork example: ''My Name Is Bruce'' is a movie about a fictionalized version of BruceCampbell, starring and directed by Bruce Campbell. (But not written by him, so not an example of SelfInsertFic.)
* [=FanFiction.net=] used to have a ''CelebrityDeathmatch'' section, which was, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin naturally]], full of RealPersonFic about celebrities brutalizing each other. The authors in that section always responsibly rated their works PG-13 or R for [[ChunkySalsaRule the obvious reason]]. The entire section was discontinued for [[CompletelyMissingThePoint using real people]] and [[WallBanger describing brutal violence without an appropriate rating]].
* [[{{AmericanIdol}} Adam Lambert]] is the new focus of the AmericanIdol slash fandom. Out of all the other contestants on the season, he's most often paired with Kris Allen ([[{{HoYay}} and it's not always hard to see why, especially after the whole Rolling Stone thing]]), which unfortunately leads to poor Katy Allen getting [[{{DroppedABridgeOnHim}} thrown to the wolves]].
* Although the fandom seems to have died down a little sadly, I fondly remember the days when The Goth Detectives (the temporary comedy duo of Russell Brand and Noel Fielding) had a nice big fan-following with lots of slash fics to be found.
** That seems to be shrinking in direct proportion to the rise of ''TheMightyBoosh'' RPS. (Most of it predictably being Julian Barratt/Noel Fielding, though I found a Julian/''Michael'' Fielding fic once.)
*** That is of course, to say nothing of [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4052464/1/The_Jazz_Maverick_the_Mod_the_Wardrobe this story]], that has the works when it comes to bad fan fiction tropes. Fictional characters coming into contact with their real-life counterparts? Check. Unneccesary {{wangst}} and total {{character derailment}}? We have that. An obligatory Mary Sue self-insert completes the ensemble. The cherry on top of this shit sundae is a perpetually drunken and crying Noel Fielding becoming tormented over his developing feelings for Vince Noir. Is it incest or masturbation?
** I'd think it would be ScrewYourself.
* ZacharyQuinto and ChrisPine (Kirk and Spock in the new ''Film/StarTrek'') are starting to get a lot of this. They kind of bring it on themselves by joking about it and behaving affectionately in interviews.
** Unlike a lot of this type of fic, however, [[PortmanteauCoupleName Pinto]] fics tend to be ''very very good''.
* I confiscated a work laptop after firing an employee and found six or seven Real Person Fics on the hard drive while salvaging documents. Some very entertaining stuff, but always ending with the requisite hookup with the MarySue character at the end. The celebs? RobertDowneyJr, [[{{FamilyGuy}} Seth MacFarlane]], HughLaurie, [[{{Firefly}} Alan Tudyk]] and a very attractive co-worker. I didn't really [[{{IfYouKnowWhatIMean}} disagree]] with any of those subjects being worthy. If it weren't for the creepy factor, we should have hung out more. Anyway, I did tighten security for the next several weeks...
* I ''was'' working on a crossover real person fic that had [[LiloAndStitch Pleakley]] finding out that the MichaelJackson we know is an alien criminal who's been holding the real Michael hostage since after the filming of ''Moonwalker''. [[FunnyAneurysmMoment Cue MJ's real life death]].
* There are communities devoted to the pairing of HughLaurie and his long time comedy partner and best friend, StephenFry. To be fair, their real life behavior is not exactly discouraging to the fans...
** According to StephenFry, during his most recent appearance on ''Friday Night with Jonathan Ross'', he was subjected to a reading from one of these fics. It was cut from the broadcast, though. [=~And That's Terrible~=].
* I think a couple of people ship DavidTennant with JohnBarrowman.
** I agree with you, only because I think more people ship him with JohnSimm.
** My lady friend from college plotted one of DavidTennant with [[TopGear Richard Hammond]]. In a Morrisons supermarket.
*** Please say it wasn't near the meat section.
** I KNOW more than a couple of people ship DavidTennant and BilliePiper...
** I think some people ship DavidTennant with CatherineTate, too.

** Then there's [[http://sam-storyteller.livejournal.com/129218.html this]] story, written in response to David Tennants' shocked reaction when he was exposed to Doctor Who slash fic on a British chat show. This RPF story suggests his costars from "Doctor Who", "Torchwood", and Harry Potter all teased him by showing him that oh, there was SO much more than that. (The story is SFW, and is a delight.)

* As the quote at the top of the page attests, athletes are NO exception to this trope. There is a quite healthy [[strike: soccer]] football slash fandom, there's been a community devoted to fic from the 2004 Athens Olympics that was reactived for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and ThisTroper is personally involved in the FormulaOne [[http://community.livejournal.com/everythingf1/profile slash community]]. In her defense though, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDChjWxb52M David Coulthard did kiss Mika Hakkinen once.]]
** Not to mention [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvvtxoCcj3w this... um... interesting video of Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa]]. (Never mind what Michael's doing with his hands, check out what Felipe's doing with ''his'' hands...)
*** My god, I'd kill to get the context to that.
** Formula... One... Slash?
*** {{Rule 34}}, cherie.
*** Also, there are no women drivers. There can be nothing BUT slash.
** Misty May and Kerri Walsh, anyone?
* Bryke is not unheard of in the ''[=~Avatar: The Last Airbender~=]'' fandom.
** Also, a certain LJ community wrote a story that shipped the show's martial art's consultant with other members of the production crew. [[http://booter-freak.deviantart.com/art/SRS-BUSINESS-GAIS-78883230 He was not happy when he found out.]]

* There's been quite a healthy [[PortmanteauCoupleName RDJude]] community around the 2009 ''SherlockHolmes'' film. This is encouraged by how the guys act together or describe each other in interviews: Jude describing RDJ as "gorgeous", and the nicknames "Hotson" and "my Judsie" being memorable examples.
* It is ridiculously easy to find slash about male figure skaters.
** I'll say. About eighty-five percent of the winter games kink meme centers around Weir, Plushenko, Lysacek, and Lambiel. The rest is Ohno/Celski, Token Straight Couple Scott Moir/Tessa Virtue, a few fics with Shaun White or some other snowboarder, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and one curling slash request]].
*** It got so bad the kink meme ended up divided into three parts: figure skating requests, speed skating requests, and everything else. Predictably enough, the figure skating part expanded into two sections just to accommodate the ''volume'' of traffic.
**** Update: it had to go to a separate ''community'' just to accommodate the volume of skater fic (though that's partially due to a missing mod at the winter games meme).
** Figure skating fandom exploded over this [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtLMvr6nHcc&feature=player_embedded very short video]], in which Stéphane Lambiel kisses and then tickles Johnny Weir.
** This troper once found a Stéphane Lambiel/Johnny Weir/Evan Lysacek fic in which Johnny Weir is a shapeshifting catboy. It was [[SoBadItsGood amazing]].
*** Could be worse. They're not immune to MisterSeahorse fics.
* The debate has been raging for ''years'' whether ProfessionalWrestling fic is RPF or not. This troper doesn't particularly care what you call it - it's been around for ages and [[AscendedFanboy Henry Jenkins]] has written essays on it (along with the rest of fandom). At any rate, there seem to be three different versions...first, television-based, in which the stories are about the people in the ring being exactly who they are on the show and the matches and conflict being real. Second, character-based realism, in that the wrestlers are their characters, but the matches and conflict are scripted and all part of the show, and finally, the real-person version which is based off real life. Different writers use different methods, some explicitly only write television-based, others dabble all the way down to RPF. Of course, there's also AU, but that's another trope altogether. Further subgenres include:
** Back in 2001-2003, the biggest and most vocal (and also virtually ''only'') het shippers were the [[FanNickname Smoochy Dreamers]], Chris Jericho/Stephanie [=McMahon=]. Chris/Steph is nothing so much as a kindergardener pulling the pigtails of the girl he likes, and between the [[GagBoobs boob comments]], kissing as gross-out tactic, and his seemingly extensive knowledge of her supposed sexual practices ("dirty disgusting trashbag ho" is probably the least filthy), they were ripe for shipping.
** Then there's the slash, which, [[CaptainObvious as you can probably guess]] is the much larger genre. Between the [[BroYay Matt/Jeff Hardy fangirls]] to the [[FoeYay Rock/Austin subset]] to the [[{{Nakama}} Kliqfic]], if two men were anywhere within a five-block radius of each other, you can probably find fic about them. If they were tag-team partners, it's almost a certainty.
** Troper does not even want to go ''into'' the MarySue self-inserts (all the long-lost [=McMahon=] children, the Lita-Sues, the random "cousins").
** To be fair, Professional wrestling writers themselves are just as bad on most of those fronts.
* RPF '''abounds''' in the ''InglouriousBasterds'' fandom. It might help that Eli Roth found the KinkMeme.
** It certainly didn't discourage the fangirls: the RPF kink meme went up the ''very day he found the first kink meme''.

* People apparently ship [[SomethingPositive Randal Millholand]]/[[GirlsWithSlingshots Danielle Corsetto]]. Millholand was not amused. (He'd posted some comics of them hanging out together at conventions.)
* Tarja Turunen/Tuomas Holopainen is suprisingly popular amongst {{Nightwish}} fans. The lyrics, the whole 'beauty and the beast' theme, and how depressed he got after she was kicked out of the band don't exactly help matters.
** Said things generally consist of 'Tarja broke our poor Ocean Soul's heart, the bitch!!!', completley ignoring the real reasons Tarja went solo.
* It's rare, but British indie singers PatrickWolf and Edward Eke (formerly known as Edward Larrikin) are occasionally shipped together.
** Oh, it gets better. There's an entire Livejournal community devoted to Patrick Wolf fanfics. Yep.

* An official, nonsexual example is TheLegendOfKoizumi. Standard shonen faire, starring heads of state deciding matters of national and global importance [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome with mahjong]]. It gets [[CrazyAwesome crazier]] from there.
* GracieLizzie ran across a list of fanfic that is supposed to exist out their on different computers most of which have never found homes on the internet; including a fic described as "Blair and Thatcher couple like stoats on the grave of Nye Bevan".... [[SarcasmMode thanks so very much]] for that mental image internet, really.
* Forget about all the photoshops and fanfiction, even the BritishNewspapers were getting in on the HoYay of the [[BritishPoliticalSystem 2010 British Parliamentary elections]] between Conservative [[{{Seme}} David Cameron]] and Liberal Democrat EstrogenBrigadeBait [[{{Uke}} Nick Clegg]], respectively. Poor GordonBrown is pretty much left behind as the RomanticRunnerUp. Clegg's status as Cameron's personal bitch has only gotten worse in {{Fanon}} as accusations of him selling out for power pile up. That both attended very posh schools where there supposedly remains a tradition known as 'fagging' for older boys have not helped either.
** There's even been media-endorsed [[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/parliamentary_sketch/article7132376.ece Mpreg]].
* Perhaps due to an unfortunate combination of {{Bishonen}} and IWasQuiteALooker, there does exist [[PeterGabriel Peter Gabriel]]-era {{Genesis}} SlashFic, usually pairing him with TonyBanks, but sometimes PhilCollins gets a turn as well.
* There is a disturbing amount of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses fanfiction.
** Fandom can't agree on whether it's all RPS or just some of it is. Obviously the fic where people write [[TheSpoonyExperiment 'Noah']] and [[AtopTheFourthWall 'Lewis']] and [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses 'Doug']] doing things are RPS. But what about the vast majority of the fics, which use the names [[TheSpoonyExperiment 'Spoony,']] [[AtopTheFourthWall 'Linkara,']] and [[TheNostalgiaCritic 'the Nostalgia Critic']] and have appearances of the characters [[CompleteMonster Ask That Guy]], [[KillerRobot Mechakara]], and [[MadScientist Dr. Insano]]?
* Can't believe that German rock band TokioHotel haven't been mentioned yet. Seriously, there is tons of the stuff floating around the net, like [[http://www.twckaulitz.com here]] and [[http://www.tokiohotelfiction.com here]] and [[http://tokiohotel-fff.get-forum.net here]]. Tends to mainly be TwinCest shipping between Bill and Tom Kaulitz, or band member/fan/AuthorAvatar fics. Both are pretty common. But seriously, some of the stuff on these sites is written by fourteen year olds, and would probably scar everyone else for life.

* ''{{Barkley Shut Up And Jam Gaiden}}'' is essentially one of these in video game form. And it's awesome.
* {{Literotica}} calls these "Celebrity" fics, and has an entire section devoted to them.

* There is a short story on DeviantArt in which HPLovecraft meets EdgarAllanPoe. No, really. It appears our friendly neighborhood CosmicHorror writer is quite the fanboy, too....
* Non pairing example, but to get into character, MattSmith wrote a fanfic of [[DoctorWho the Doctor]] meeting Albert Einstein.
* ''Film/TheATeam'' KinkMeme has gotten a good deal of this, especially Liam Neeson/Bradley Cooper, Bradley Cooper/Sharlto Copley, and a bit of Sharlto Copley/"Rampage" Jackson. It does not help that Sharlto and Rampage became HeterosexualLifePartners during filming and that Bradley seems to smile and stare at Sharlto a lot when they're near each other.
** For [[TheATeam the original series]], RPF featuring Dirk Benedict/Dwight Schultz has gotten several prompts and fills. They pretty much fuel it when they do joint interviews these days (when they're in their 60s!) because they love to make gay jokes, especially about each other (and "The Gay Team").

<<|FanficTropes|>>

* Zach Quinto and Chris Pine (Kirk and Spock in the new ''Film/StarTrek'') are starting to get a lot of this. They kind of bring it on themselves by joking about it and behaving affectionately in interviews.

* There was an explosion of this, mostly about Zac and Vanessa, after HighSchoolMusical came out. OrSoIHeard.

* ''Film/TheATeam'' KinkMeme has gotten a good deal of this, especially Liam Neeson/Bradley Cooper, Bradley Cooper/Sharlto Copley, and a bit of Sharlto Copley/"Rampage" Jackson.

* Perhaps due to an unfortunate combination of {{Bishonen}} and IWasQuiteALooker, there does exist [[PeterGabriel Peter Gabriel]]-era {{Genesis}} SlashFic, usually pairing him with TonyBanks, but sometimes PhilCollins gets a turn as well. [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/Kittenmommy This Troper]] promises you that there is not enough BrainBleach in the world should you [[SchmuckBait foolishly decide to do a search for these stories]].

** Japanese and Korean boybands acknowledge and encourage the slashing to a ridiculously high degree. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWEfliT3aik This painfully awkward interview with Jaejoong and Yunho of TVXQ]] illustrates the trend to a T. Their ridiculous stage gay is almost a market in and of itself.

* AaronSorkin has figured in several ''TheWestWing'' parody-fics, mostly in ones devoted to making fun of [[EndingAversion what happened to the series]] after he left. And there's a Murder On The Orient Express parody with Sorkin as [[spoiler: the killer]], Amy as Ratchett, and [[IntrepidReporter Danny Concannon]] as Poirot. [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/892560/1/Murder_on_the_Campaign_Express It's actually so well-written it's ''less'' enjoyable than it would be had it been cracky.]]

* Forget about all the photoshops and fanfiction, even the BritishNewspapers were getting in on the HoYay of the [[BritishPoliticalSystem 2010 British Parliamentary elections]] between Conservative [[{{Seme}} David Cameron]] and Liberal Democrat EstrogenBrigadeBait [[{{Uke}} Nick Clegg]], respectively.

This troper doesn't particularly care what you call it - it's been around for ages and [[AscendedFanboy Henry Jenkins]] has written essays on it (along with the rest of fandom). Particular subgenres include:

* My first alarming run in with real person fan fiction featured Lea Michele and Dianna Agron of ''{{Glee}}'' fame. The two of them sort of fuel it with the all the PDA and the fact that they lived together for a while, and had two pet cats together. Who gets a pet that lives for so long with their friend? But still... real person slashfic is something that left me needing BrainBleach.
