But that's sort of the point of it being fiction.
Yes they're real people, but you take them and stick them in various situations that you conjure up and go with it. I sort of get a kick out of FM fan fiction, I think it can be an amusing outlet.
To be honest I don't even remember when we had that on this site though...i must have been in my 'all i do is take care of the baby' phase. I would guess maybe difficulties arose when one person writes something that pushes the envelope a bit-- they may think it's fine because 'it's just a silly story', while another person says 'that is so wrong, how can you even write about stuff like that, what if so and so reads it?' and so on. it's a fine line, and everybody has different boundaries as to what they think is 'okay' to write about. I'd imagine it might've stirred up some conflict.
but anyway that's just my two cents.
