Taking a moment,

to think about a comment I've just read that likens RPS to deplorable activities such as celebrity stalking. Yes, I understand what this person was saying, and why they said it, and yes they have a right to think what they want. I guess I just don't like feeling like I've just been labeled some kind of slack jawed deviant for reading and writing rps.

Does this notion make me want to stop reading and writing rps?

Heh.

Nope.

...on second thought, when it comes to Viggo/Sean, that slack jawed deviant part may apply to me after all, *grin*

Just realized I never replied to this, sorry!

I know a LOT of writers who don't want to go anywhere near the subject of their fics, because they want to keep the fantasy intact.

I think I'm falling into that category these days with V/S, well, partially. I liked hearing/reading news of Sean, but Viggo for some reason I want to steer clear of.

That's just absurd--it's the same old story, people attack what they don't understand. And no, you don't have to like it, but you don't have to banish us all to hell, either.

Yes!

And please let me join you in fangirling over helens' Sean!! *squees in appreciation*

Let us fangirl as one...::squee:: ;)

I get into moods with checking up on the boys...I like to read interviews/articles, and especially with Sean, it helps me get their voices down better for fic. But then I'll find that I've read too much, especially when a particularly bad article makes one or another of them sound like an ass, and then I know I've got to step back a bit and stick with my own images.

I *would* like to see the boys up close...not necessarily to fangirl them, but even just to see them in the flesh.
