Bas, I think, is the one with a Fight Club archive, but ravenswing seems to be down at the moment.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

RPS --> RPF -->

And I make no difference between those things; but then, I've already (over)said my piece, so I'll stop.

Yeah, slippery slope there -- but I do think depicting an actor wandering around a New Zealand neighborhood with his sword strapped on is a bit less intrusive than depicting him screwing a costar. Or his ex-wife, or whatever. Remember: continuum. :-)

And I don't, at all. But! To each her own.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Indeed - but the only distinction I've been used to making between Real People Fic and Real People Slash is that one is specifically homoerotic (which doesn't necessarily mean sexual or explicit) whereas the other is a blanket term for all Real People Fiction, Heterosexual or Homosexual, pornographic or mundane.

OK, it's not that I don't *at all*, but I do personally believe that distinction, when put in any sort of terms of continuum to be very, very dangerous. Not the fun kind of dangerous. The upsetting kind.

Like I said. IJS.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

How so? I'd like to understand your point.

I think I've said it over and over, today but mostly the first time I was around for the RPF argument here, in the old PPO thread at WX. So, forgive me, but I said I was gonna stop yapping and I will.

Sorry, I wasn't here for that argument, so didn't realize you'd gone all over this ground before.
