The Ethics of Real People Fiction by luckysheepharmony
Fandoms: Real Person Fiction, Fandom RPF

Summary
Debates about Real People Fiction (RPF) are often framed as moral binaries of devotional myth‑making or unethical transgression: positions that rely on religious logic.
This essay argues for a third position that rejects moral frameworks altogether. Rather than treating RPF as sacred or forbidden, this stance treats it as fiction, grounded in narrative craft rather than moral theatre. By refusing the religious logic of both believers and haters, this position offers an alternative perspective of RPF.
