for the love of god, please:

  • CANON - established or agreed-upon constraints governing the background narrative, setting, storyline, characters, etc., in a particular fictional world.

  • CANNON - a smooth-bore artillery weapon, typically muzzle-loading.

CAÑON - a deep gorge, ravine or gulch.

CANAAN - son of Ham and grandson of Noah, as well as the father of the Canaanites

Cañón is also cannon, it has a double meaning.

Fanon: They're lovers.

Eeh, while real-person fanfic is a little contentious it's by no means "not allowed" in fanfic.

Yeah I wrote a ton of rpf. And met one of the people I wrote about. He found it funny. He also knew we both understood it was fiction.

Some people hate it, which like. Understandable! Have a good day!

Oh to be clear I think it's pretty creepy - I'm just never going to argue you shouldn't be allowed to post it. Emphatically not my thing, but not everything is and that's fine.

Genuinely glad you have had it confirmed that at least one subject is comfortable with it. Not judging I swear: is consent of the subject something you seek out before writing the fics or is it just, like a bonus?

RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 275d (1 reply)

A bonus! Most times rpf writers will not go out of their way to tell the people about it. The people being written about will find it. In the case of the writing I did, the people being written about considered us part of the community and liked we were around. It's sort of considered incredibly rude to show the person you are writing about your writing.

That doesn't stop other fans from showing them. Usually in an attempt to be all "Ew look at how creepy some of your fans are!" This group shut that down. We were fans of them like everyone else, and we all knew it was fiction.

Also I personally removed fanfics whenever asked. This happened once. The person (different guy than I had met) was becoming a teacher and was just scrubbing his online stuff. So I removed my writing of him.

Edit - Also. I've had other rpf writers write about me. So like. I found it really funny. My husband also knows I wrote rpf and had people write rpf about it.

Not part of the hobby I have had much interaction with so that's just really interesting! Thank you!
