Ah, Ryan... It's weird, because I usually don't go for those lush types, but he is delicious. Hugh did it for me in About a Boy, too. And I liked his Daniel Cleaver, too. He should play the bastard more often, it becomes him.
I think RPS is difficult for exactly the reasons you listed. In a way, characters in RPS must feel even more real than in fiction-based fics. I like them best when they're pretty straightforward, with smooth, plain dialogue and not much, I don't know, additional drama and angst and what not.
