I have actually read a hundred-some Arthur/Eames fics... most of them quite mediocre. And then I finally decided that enough was enough and from now on I'll only be reading them if they're actually recommended to me first. As it is, I just follow fuckyeahinception and pray that candle_beck takes the suggestion of some of her followers that she write some Inception fic.
Like, I understand the CONCEPT of RPS, and why people would be into it... but to me it's just weird, because treating real people as characters just seems odd to me. I mean, I know we already tend to do that all the time - we define people, we give them identities, etc - but it seems too intentional of a simplification of real people. I think it's an interesting genre (?) conceptually, at least in the questions it raises about real people vs. people's ideas of real people vs. fictional characters, but I just feel like I am seriously invading on someone's life when I read it. EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT THEIR ACTUAL LIFE.
But don't worry - of course we can still be friends. (After all, I did read your RPS fics... and adored them.)
...really? Lord. It's actually kind of interesting for me, having an attractive/likeable president for the first time in my personal life. Like, I feel this weird sense of national pride because of it. Or maybe it just feels weird because having any national pride as a result of our president has been essentially impossible for half of my entire life so far.
