Thank you!

And yes, smart stuff has been said here by not me. :)

I completely concur with everything mosca says about RPF except that my enjoyment of reading it is much less tied to the piece of writing's intersection with a celebrity's actual history than hers is. I think, honestly, a lot of the fun for me is character conflation. And I can always tell when an RPF writer has done a lot of research and the piece is always better and more interesting for it, but I don't really *know*, you know. Maybe the writers are making it all up and I just don't realize because *I* haven't done the research. LOL
