I've never gotten the appeal of real person fanfiction. The actor that particular writer is obsessed with will play many parts over his/her career, all with different backgrounds. And yes, these are real people, with real lives, real families and real relationships that are out of bounds in my opinion. If a writer is so obsessed with someone that they blur the line between person and role, perhaps they should just get some air (and a clue) and realize that once they put that shit out there online, some form is out there forever for anyone to see.
Oy - and explicit sex in fanfiction?!? Don't get me wrong, I loves me some wonderfully written sex scenes, but I believe I like the heart of a story so much more. Sex in some fanfic is a bit like icing on the cake; I really like icing, but sometimes I just want the cake.
