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
However, it's just as likely that a fic will be relatively accurate, based on knowledge of the celebrity's "real lives" gained from interviews, blogs, tweets, etc. Increased interactivity between actors/bands/whoever and their fans makes it extremely easy for ficcers to include canon details into their work. This averts the [[Did Not Do the Research]] trope, although there's probably a fine line between research (good) and stalking (bad).
Line 85:
** Jennette/Miranda is somewhat popular too.
* ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' fans ship actors David Henrie and Selena Gomez. It's also probably part of the reason that show has a massive [[Brother-Sister Incest]] vibe and that Jalex (the couple of brother Justin and sister Alex which are played by them) is the most popular ship by a very long margin.
* Pairing ''[[American Idol]]'' judges and contestants is also common, especially [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Saula]] (Simon and Paula.) There's even an entire [[
* Lea Michele and Dianna Agron of ''[[Glee]]'' fame. The two of them sort of fuel it with the all the PDA and the fact that they lived together for a while, and had two pet cats together. Who gets a pet that lives for so long with their friend?
** Heather Morris and Naya Rivera get this as well, often in the context of their real life relationship following the same pattern as their BFF-to-casual hookup-to-relationship on-screen relationship.
Line 99:
== [[Music]] ==
* [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]] seem to lend themselves quite well to this due to their almost mythical status. This is probably because of their relatively short lived career, leading a lot of fans who want more than just the decade of activity filling in more of what they view should have happened after 1970. It also helps that there are three movies featuring them as themselves, each one goofier than the last.
** Fandom invokes John Lennon's questionable sexuality in 99.9% of the fics with sexuality. Interestingly enough, most of these fics do NOT include Brian Epstein, their openly gay manager—or, when they do, he's at most [[
* Perhaps because of his flamboyant nature, people just love to use [[David Bowie]] as a character in their fanfiction.
** He admittedly does lend himself to it. However, as often as not he ''is'' being Ziggy/Thin White Duke/Halloween Jack/what have you at the time...
Line 127:
** Japanese rock and metal bands fall under bandslash. Nearly any band will have some. Some bands play to the slashers and don't mind the slash, others are.... less welcoming. That said, some bands also have a [[Broken Base]] even if the band itself is in favor of or doesn't mind the slash, where non-participating fans will loathe the participating fans as "yaoi fangirls" or "gay."
* [[American Idol|Adam Lambert]] is the new focus of the [[American Idol]] slash fandom. Out of all the other contestants on the season, he's most often paired with Kris Allen ([[Ho Yay|and it's not always hard to see why, especially after the whole Rolling Stone thing]]), which unfortunately leads to poor Katy Allen getting [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|thrown to the wolves]].
** There's a whole [[
* Tarja Turunen/Tuomas Holopainen is surprisingly popular amongst [[Nightwish]] fans. The lyrics, the whole 'beauty and the beast' theme, and how depressed he got after she was kicked out of the band don't exactly help matters.
** Said things generally consist of 'Tarja broke our poor Ocean Soul's heart, the bitch!!!', completely ignoring the real reasons Tarja went solo.

* People apparently ship [[Something
* Shipping [[Andrew Hussie]] and [[Axis Powers Hetalia|Hidekaz Himaruya]] became a thing that happens in mid-2011; it might be tongue-in-cheek given it's been stated to arise from both being [[Trolling Creator]]s, but [[Poe's Law|who can really know with these things]]? Hussie himself came across a [[Tumblr]] blog dedicated to "[[Portmanteau Couple Name|Hussieruya]]" and [http://twitter.com/#!/andrewhussie/status/111290799857213440 was mildly amused].
** [http://www.formspring.me/mspadventures/q/220484618011319778 Hussie weighs in on this trope in general.]
