There's no denying. Something evil has taken over my brain

I feel compelled to write Johnny Depp/Orlando Bloom RPS.

Um. Help?

I know! That's a massive problem. Characterisation aspects can be derived from, oh, interviews and articles, but that requires a lot of research I'm not prepared to invest and still remains inaccurate. That much said, characterisation is always a difficult issue, as we can observe on a daily basis in the HP fandom. Just because you've got a character presented on paper doesn't mean it's easy to write about them.

Writing RPS I'd also feel like a filthy stalker, invading the privacy of real people. That is somewhat worrying.

I'm not really into RPS. That's why I'm so baffled about my irrepressible desire. Must be the hormones *g*

Yeah, I find most celebrities rather dull, so I would never know enough to start me off. I wouldn't worry about the stalker thing, I'm sure they would rather someone wrote a story than camped outside their houses with a gun, you know? ;-)

Characterisation is rarely agreed on by anyone, but the idea of a sort of mix of none and almost limitless 'canon' is rather daunting.

On the other hand, I suppose I am writing half RPS for a challenge right now, even if the real person involved is long dead, and yours are certainly more physically appealing *g*

I'm sure you're right, but it's not about them. It's about me! I feel like a sick weirdo! *is very moderately hardly distressed at all*

Luckily, the characterisation issue can be overcome easily, as I'm not interested in long, character-driven fiction. It's all about the steamy sex, baby!

So you're writing historical slash, then? Or bible slash? *g*

If it helps, I'm sure lots of people would call us all that already *g*

Heh! I did threaten to write Jesus Christ Superstar slash in a conversation the other day *g* That's about as close as I get to the bible! This is historical person / HP character slash. So weird, but lots of pervy fun so far...

Yes, yes. Very helpful. Thanks a lot, Llama ;-)

The idea of Jesus Christ Superstar slash cracks me up. Dunno why. That's so sick, and yet so plausible. (->They've turned the crucifixion into a musical. Why not take the musical a step further?)

Yes, yes. Very helpful. Thanks a lot, Llama ;-)

Hee. And the JCS thing... well it might be the memorable production I saw years back that's responsible for that. Every gay man I knew was in it, just about, including two cute ones who used to walk the dogs with me and spend the whole time snogging. Fun *g*

Ah, yes. Artists! *g*
