Okay so before recently I never had any desire to really write any fanfictions about real life people because I’m apart of so many fictional fandoms that there was no need. I think the only reason I’m questioning the matter at all is because there is a real chance my most recent fanfiction could be read by the person in the story.
Going back in time a bit, I wrote a couple “mini convo-fics” on my shipper tumblr about Emma Watson and Tom Felton. I didn’t think much of it because what are the chances that Tom or Emma is going to stumble upon my tumblr and read about themselves in a made up scenario? Not very likely.
I’ve heard about people writing fanfictions about the band All Time Low and it getting back to the band, and I never thought much about it. So now after the day I had yesterday (aka Laurel reading my blog post about her and following me on here and twitter) I’m feeling on the fence about what to do. On one hand I’m like fuck it I’m a writer I’m allowed to express my creative genius however I want, screw the media! :]] On the other I’ve never had to consider if I was staying in character this much.
When dealing with fictional characters, you dont have to think too much on if what you think they are thinking about people and who they are on the inside, is on point and now i’m feeling uncomfortably at a crossroads. I fucking hate this!
So I’m curious what you all think, before Laurel Stucky became aware of my tumblr and who I am, I was writing a fanfiction about her and Kenny and now I’m stuck!!! I think I’ll go directly to the source, but I’d love your thoughts too!!!
