But, yeah, real people fic? Never got it. Never will.
I don't really understand it either ...

I think it's more to do with a character inspired by the person. Because most of the time we [writers] don't actually know the person, we're writing about the person we perceive them to be.
A character based on a real person, just VERY heavily based on them.

Does that even make sense?
