Real Person Fic: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

Also known as Celebrity Fic, this is basically fanfiction based on the real life of one or more celebrities (as opposed to a strictly fictional canon). Just as how people find fantasies and interpretations within their favorite fictional characters, so, too, do they find them in celebrities. Any and all fanfiction tropes can apply (for example, it could decide to base itself around the [[High School AU|high school days]] of the celebrity, create a [[Relationship Sue]] to vicariously live out a relationship with the person, use them as part of a [[Hurt/Comfort Fic]], etc.). The possibilities are endless and often just disregard the celebrity's history, personality, etc. in order to facilitate the plot (or, often, just the particular fetishes of the author).

== [[Fan Works]] ==

* In-universe example: in the [[Mass Effect]] fanfic ''[[Project Gethinator]]'', it's mentioned that {{spoiler|Admiral Daro'Xen}}, who is [[Yandere]] for Shepard in a big way, has written quite a few [[Self-Insert Fic]] Real Person Fics involving herself and Shepard. According to those who know of them, they're quite sick and depraved, second only to [[Noodle Incident|what Prazza did in]] ''[[Noodle Incident|Fornax]]''[[Noodle Incident|'s Forbidden Issue]], and illustrate quite nicely how completely fucked up {{spoiler|Admiral Xen}} is.

* When fanfic writers for [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]] worked more modern Boy Bands into their fics, things got ugly; even, or maybe especially, those who were tweens thought Boy Bands were necessarily evil. There is one Beatles fic, "Angelic Sins," that attempts to make the group 98 Degrees villains. (This one also has [[Metallica]] as a friendly presence despite their kidnapping John Lennon—this was completed before the Napster scandal and ''St. Anger.'')

* There are numerous fanfics of the various members of [[My Chemical Romance]], usually involving the band members becoming teachers in the fan's school or something along the lines.

** Also, bandslash. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. Tends to be significantly better written than the Sue!fic but significantly less concerned with reality.

* Essentially the basis of Pete Wentz's entire career. Both within his own band, [[Fall Out Boy]], and between all of the bands on his label. He loves to [[Shipper on Deck|encourage fans to pair him]] with lead singer Patrick Stump, nuzzling his shoulder during performances, and has had the following (joking) remarks to say about Patrick on the band's official website Q&A [http://www.falloutboyrock.com\]{{Dead link}}:

** Don't even go ''into'' the [[Mary Sue]] self-inserts (all the long-lost McMahon children, the Lita-Sues, the random "cousins").

** To be fair, Professional wrestling writers themselves are just as bad on most of those fronts.
