{ People who roleplay as members of an existing boyband or actor/actress
I'm sorry but...that's creepy and more than a little disturbing.
These are REAL PEOPLE with REAL FEELINGS and ACTUAL LIVES.
And you are pretending to be them in your writing?
No just...no.
I can even understand if you write a goofy tale about one of your RL friends, i mean, you know them and they know you.
But even if you were roleplaying...would you ever roleplay as one of your best friends? Would you invent their character as best you could so you could live out fantasies with them in your writing?
I think not!Even the thought is repulsive to me.
But that is EXACTLY what these people do with groups like 1D or Justin Beiber
I just...I don't understand why you would do that?
Its creepy to try and pretend you're an actual person and invent their lives and romantic existence for them.
It's different with characters because they aren't actually real and don't have any restrictions on who they can be.
But people are people.
I dunno, I just find it to be an encroachment on that actor/actress/singers rights.
I mean...you're trying to pretend you ARE them, and to me thats even scarier than being sent roses and creepy notes.
