Also known as Celebrity Fic, this is basically fanfiction based on the real life of one or more celebrities (as opposed to a strictly fictional canon). Just as how people find fantasies and interpretations within their favorite fictional characters, so, too, do they find them in celebrities. Any and all fanfiction tropes can apply (for example, it could decide to base itself around the high school days of the celebrity, create a Relationship Sue to vicariously live out a relationship with the person, use them as part of a Hurt/Comfort Fic, etc.). The possibilities are endless and often just disregard the celebrity's history, personality, etc. in order to facilitate the plot (or, often, just the particular fetishes of the author). However, it's just as likely that a fic will be relatively accurate, based on knowledge of the celebrity's "real lives" gained from interviews, blogs, tweets, etc. Increased interactivity between actors/bands/whoever and their fans makes it extremely easy for ficcers to include canon details into their work. This avoids factual inaccuracy, although there's probably a fine line between research (good) and stalking (bad). Also common in this genre is for the celebrity to meet the fictional characters that he or she is famous for playing as. They might either coexist in the same universe (this is a flimsy premise at best) or there's some sort of alternate universe with travel between them. The final theme which turns up a lot is fics which blur the line between Character Shipping and Cast Shipping; depending on the quality of the acting, it's often easy to read real-life relationships between the actors in the emotions their characters portray towards each other on screen. These sorts of fics are often set in and around the filming of the show, to the extent that frequently they're just plain ol' show fics in disguise; the actors will often take on the traits and ideas of their characters and go through similar emotions and experiences. Somebody will tell you that there's some sort of metaphor in there for the duality of the actor and the character, or something. There is some level of controversy surrounding this genre. For some people, the mere existence of Real Person Fics — especially lemon fics — is a case of squick, while others don't see them as wrong as long as the tone is kept respectful. Then, there are those for whom anything goes because it's unlikely the "protagonist" will ever read the fic anyway and will do everything from Character Derailment to Gender Bending to unceremoniously killing them off. (That last can sometimes be legally dangerous, though.) FanFiction.Net has not allowed Real Person Fics (with the exception of those featuring historical figures) since 2002, but that doesn't stop anyone. Most of them are hiding here. The existence and popularity of "Celebrity Pulps" makes this Older Than Television—but that's just the reasonably modern form of it. Technically, William Shakespeare's historical plays could count, pushing it to Older Than Steam, as historical accuracy was not a going concern when his main object was to entertain Elizabethan crowds! It's not only that they didn't need to follow actual history precisely, political biases also seeped into his work, partly to make it palatable to the Crown, partly due to inheriting the biases already extant in his sources. And that's not even to count possible older examples. Alexander the Great had tons of romantic/fantasy tales written about him, over 300 years after he died. If religious texts like The Bible or The Qur'an mention historical figures, they're likely to be this. Compare Historical Domain Character. Alternate History is not always Real-Person Fic; even if sites like AlternateHistory.com have settings which feature individuals like Bill Clinton or Tiger Woods; they are more of a Bit Character in the narrative, depending on who's the focus. Not to be confused with when a Self-Insert Fic doesn't even bother with an Author Avatar and the author just puts themselves (and their friends) in. They could theoretically overlap, but not a lot of big-name celebrities are known for writing fan fiction after all. If they and their friends are the subjects rather than inserts, however, it's a flavor of RPF known as "friendfic". For a bittersweet variety, see Celebrities Hang Out in Heaven. If they're survivors of a disaster, they're Celebrity Survivors, and in a Super Fic, they may be part of a Celebrity Masquerade. Oh, Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us! is typically the result of the "subject" finding out about these. |

Genshin Impact: You can pick up an In-Game Novel about the Raiden Shogun and Yae Guuji as a couple named "Pretty Please, Kitsune Guuji?" Although the Yae Guuji is named Masako and not Miko here, it's clear who it's supposed to be about. Notably, this book is published by Yae Publishing House, which is headed by Yae Miko herself. Additionally, it was promoted heavily during the Irodori Festival, where you could pick up a tie-in drink from a cosplayer that worked for the company. You have to wonder what Miko meant by that. It's noted in its description to be a Spiritual Successor to an Isekai novel about the protagonist being reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun, which is also an example you can find in-game. Note that as the Raiden Shogun is a Physical God, these stories are not just tasteless but blasphemous. Fortunately, when the Raiden Shogun finds out about the latter, she thinks it's Actually Pretty Funny. | |

In Sean Bean Saves Westeros, the "real life" Sean Bean is transported into the land of Westeros of A Song of Ice and Fire after finishing up Season 1 of HBO's Game of Thrones series. Now living as Ned Stark, not just playing him on TV, Sean tries his damnedest to divert the course of the War of Five Kings and save Westeros. Because he's read all (season-one-current) books in A Song of Ice and Fire, Sean has a huge edge in surviving the political machinations of Westeros. In addition, his study of British history and lifetime as an actor come in handy. And, because Sean knows he's a Chronically Killed Actor, he goes out of his way to keep himself alive as the "resurrected" Lord Eddard Stark. | |

Every named character in Oslo is a portrayal of a real person who participated in or facilitated the Oslo peace talks of 1993 — including Norwegian diplomat Mona Juul, her husband Terje Rød-Larsen the social scientist, Fafo Institute Executive Marianne Heiberg, Norwegian Government Officials Johan Jorgen Holst and Jan Egeland, University of Haifa Professors Yair Hirschfeld and Ron Pundak, Director-General of Israel's Foreign Ministry Uri Savir, Israeli Foreign Ministers Yossi Beilin and Shimon Peres, Finance Minister for the Palestine Liberation Organization Ahmed Qurie, and PLO Liaison Hassan Asfour. (The play itself could count as being chock full of Historical Domain Characters... except for the fact that some of the participants were still alive at the time of the 2016 premiere of the play, and not many of them could be considered "famous.") | |

The Social Network has a steadily growing RPF community, with a large portion of its Kink Meme geared towards it. Because of the nature of the film, there's also some rather interesting layers going on, what with fic about the characters, fic about the actors playing the characters, fic about the real people the characters are based on, and every imaginable combination of crossover therein. | |

There's also a dedicated hockey RPF fandom. One of the fanfics from that fandom ("Heart In Hand"), in fact, became so popular with non-hockey slash aficionados who didn't recognize the characters' names and assumed that it was original fiction that the author went ahead and revised it into an original fic. | |

There is a large amount of Channel Awesome fanfiction. Fandom can't agree on whether it's all RPS or just some of it is. Obviously the fic where people write 'Noah' and 'Lewis' and 'Doug' doing things are RPS. But what about the vast majority of the fics, which use the names 'Spoony,' 'Linkara,' and The Nostalgia Critic and have appearances of the characters Ask That Guy, Mechakara, and Dr. Insano? So it gets complicated when it actually is dark Real-Person Fic. The Critic getting humiliated, tortured, beheaded, mutilated, gangbanged, snuffed and so on is A-OK, but when the Kink Meme asks for Doug abuse, everyone suddenly gets too scared to post anything. It's also a little complicated because of the question who is really a character? Sure Ask That Guy is, the Critic is. Linkara is, same with the Chick. But what about Nash? MarzGurl? It's like a sliding scale of Alter-Ego Acting and the line isn't always clear when you go further down. |

An interesting case when it comes to the Dream SMP cast and other related fandoms; as the characters in the roleplay share their names with the content creators playing them, there's occasionally confusion regarding whether certain fanfic is being written about the content creators themselves or the characters they play (and there's plenty of both). As the series goes on and Cerebus Syndrome sets in, the authors usually clarify and actively differentiate whether their fics are about the characters or the creators behind the screen. Notably, a Slash Fic shipping two members of the server (Dream and GeorgeNotFound) became so popular that it managed to induce a Colbert Bump on the song it was named after ("Heat Waves" by Glass Animals), leading to it becoming the best-performing single of 2022 according to Billboard. | |

The 100: Similar to her character, Clarke, Eliza Taylor has fanfiction that pairs her with all of her co-stars. The ones she is usually paired with the most are Alycia Debnam-Carey, due to her playing Eliza's love interest Lexa, and Bob Morley, who played her most popular fanon partner Bellamy. This is helped by the fact that Eliza and Alycia are good friends and Eliza is married to Bob in real life. Some fics pair all three together, either as a love triangle or OT3 type situation. | |

Perpetrated by Discworld fic author A.A. Pessimal in the Good Omens fic All The Best Tunes? on his A03 account, which not only takes the Virtual Soundtrack to extreme levels but also deals with Real People, many of whom are still living. Justified, as angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley are sponsoring rival musical talents in the 1940s to 1970s. Crowley kick-starts Black Sabbath, the Angel gets people like Cliff Richard and Van Morrison, both claim responsibility for The Beatles, and Crowley whispers possible lyrics in the ear of Mick Jagger. Even the Four MotorcycleRiders of the Apocalypse get in on the act — War (who sees rock n' roll as violence using different weapons), Pestilence, who finds more interesting things to do with garbage bags and bin-liners, Famine (who likes artistes with eating disorders and body image issues) and Death get their preferred musical genres. | |

American Horror Story fans love to write fanfiction about Sarah Paulson, either through Self-Insert or by pairing her with her co-stars. She and Lily Rabe are the main ones who get paired in fanfiction, due to their real life friendship and playing one of the fandom's most popular ships, Cordelia and Misty in Coven. Some fanfics pair her with Evan Peters due to the two being the most recurring actors. Evan Peters is also often paired with Taissa Farmiga, who played his love interest in Murder House and Coven, and Emma Roberts, who he dated in real life. | |

An unusual example occurs in Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! W, where Mahiro is horrified to learn that an alien Doujin circle published a Yaoi manga about him. His three companions all fight over it (Nyarko and Hasta want to read it, Cuuko wants to sell it on the open market), but Mahiro ends up buying and destroying it. Several times throughout the season the doujin's author (a massive Mahiro fangirl) pops up and attempts to meet him in person, not realizing that he isn't exactly happy to be the subject of gay porn from space. | |

The Daily Show. Which people? All of them. This can get very weird when both Stephen Colbert and the character with the same name end up in the same fic. Which happens more often than you'd think. There is a lot of Pundit Slash involving Anderson Cooper, Keith Olbermann, Colbert, Jon Stewart, and others. The 28th Amendment, a series begun by fan writer bessemerprocess, describes Vice President Mike Huckabee assuming the presidency after the death of President John McCain and ramming through legislation declaring all laws must conform to Holy Scriptures. Cue an upsurge in anti-LGBT hate crimes, McCarthyesque hearings and assorted journalists trying to escape with their lives. This was written in 2008. (The author has caught the true sound of Keith's voice in the Congressional hearing and Special Comments.) A much tamer story, "Commentary", reads like a typical Daily Show report, only set in the Marvel Universe, as Jon Stewart and Ed Helms report on the Superhero Registration Act and Spider-Man's public unmasking. |

Fifth Harmony: Fans love to write fanfiction about the band members, particularly Lauren Jauregui, who has arguably the biggest LGBT Fanbase of the whole group. This mainly takes the form of "Camren", pairing Lauren with Camila Cabello, which became so popular that Lauren expressed discomfort with it. There is also fanfiction that pairs her with her other bandmates or some form of Self-Insert character. Dinah Jane and Normani are also often paired together in fanfics, though Normani is also paired with Ally Brooke often. | |

"Eight Pagers" — the softcore porn comic strips published in the depression era — usually featured fictional characters of the time (such as Popeye and Olive Oyl) but sometimes starred well-known actors or sports personalities.

Similarly, the Big Hero 6: The Series episode "Fan Friction" sees Big Hero 6 discover that Karmi, one of Hiro's classmates, has been penning massively popular fanfiction about the team. Unlike the rest of the team, Hiro reacts quite negatively to this revelation (in part because Karmi is crushing on "Captain Cutie" and has written herself into the story as his girlfriend), even trying to devise a way to get Karmi to stop writing her stories. He eases up by the end after saving Karmi from a plot cooked up by Momokase and Obake, humoring Karmi by reciting lines from her fics. | |

She ends up recruiting Ishigami to act as her editor and later offers to write one about him as thanks should he fall in love. This later reaches I Should Write a Book About This levels when Ishigami gives her the idea that she could write a series about two people trying to force the other into confessing. | |

FanFiction.Net used to have a Celebrity Deathmatch section, which was, naturally, full of Real-Person Fic about celebrities brutalizing each other. The authors in that section always responsibly rated their works T or M for the obvious reason.

Although the fandom seems to have died down a little, there were days when The Goth Detectives (the temporary comedy duo of Russell Brand and Noel Fielding) had a nice big fan-following with lots of slash fics to be found. That seems to be shrinking in direct proportion to the rise of The Mighty Boosh RPS.

The debate has been raging for years whether Professional Wrestling fic is RPF or not. It's been around for ages and Henry Jenkins has written essays on it (along with the rest of fandom). At any rate, there seem to be three different versions...first, television-based, in which the stories are about the people in the ring being exactly who they are on the show and the matches and conflict being real. Second, character-based realism, in that the wrestlers are their characters, but the matches and conflict are scripted and all part of the show, and finally, the real-person version which is based off real life. Different writers use different methods, some explicitly only write television-based, others dabble all the way down to RPF. Of course, there's also AU, but that's another trope altogether. Further subgenres include: Back in 2001-2003, the biggest and most vocal (and also virtually only) het shippers were the Smoochy Dreamers, Chris Jericho/Stephanie McMahon. Chris/Steph is nothing so much as a kindergartener pulling the pigtails of the girl he likes, and between the boob comments, kissing as gross-out tactic, and his seemingly extensive knowledge of her supposed sexual practices, they were ripe for shipping. Then there's the slash. Between the Matt/Jeff Hardy fangirls to the Rock/Steve Austin subset to the Kliqfic, if two men were anywhere within a five-block radius of each other, you can probably find fic about them. If they were tag-team partners, it's almost a certainty. Don't even go into the self-inserts (all the long-lost McMahon children, the Lita-Sues, the random "cousins"). |

DC Extended Universe: Following Ben Affleck being cast as Batman, a legion of fanfics which paired him with Superman actor Henry Cavill were spawned. The two also had a habit of fueling this, such as acknowledging their ship name "Benry" on Conan, or Cavill claiming to have vivid memories of Affleck's scent. This was despite Affleck being married to Jennifer Garner at the time, and the fact that he split from Garner not long afterward only inspired more fanfics. | |

As the Bob's Burgers episode "Bad Tina" reveals, Tina Belcher has apparently written sexually-explicit fanfiction on every fictional series known to man.

X Japan is pretty much the Trope Codifier for Japanese rock/metal bandslash — their love of male/male onstage fanservice, having actually written and performed at least one song that is openly about gay sex and their most famous cover being a song with heavy Homoerotic Subtext, their even endorsing the early slash doujinshi, and three members of the band being actually bisexual leads to everything from fanfic to fanart, of varying degrees of respectfulness and quality. The main Fan-Preferred Couple|s are Yoshiki/hide and Yoshiki/Toshi, but other fics involve Taiji/Toshi, Yoshiki/Heath, Yoshiki/Sugizo, Taiji/Yoshiki, Pata/Heath, Taiji/hide, Pata/Taiji, Sugizo/Heath, and various combinations thereof. Yoshiki himself has also been written in slash fic with nearly everyone else in the Visual Kei scene, most commonly GACKT, Atsushi Sakurai of BUCK-TICK, both Die and Shinya of Dir en grey, and Miyavi, though the last suffered a case of Abandon Shipping with both Miyavi's marriage and Toshi's return to the band. |

Hammohamster basically defines this with her fanfic about The Angry Video Game Nerd, The Nostalgia Critic, and The Irate Gamer slash fics. She wrote a hateful fanfic about the Fanfic Critic on her livejournal account. The fanfic involved the internet persona brutally killing herself. She's also written slash fanfics about political figures like Glenn Beck and Barack Obama (Note: the fanfic is no longer on fanfiction.net anymore. However a review can be found here.) |

The Fate/Grand Order event "Servant Summer Festival!" takes this trope to its logical extreme with the titular in-universe event (abbreviated to ServaFes), which is a doujinshi event for, by, and about Servants. Your player character helps write a few of their own to sell, and Gareth is introduced as all too happy to buy a slash doujin about her and Saber's brothers. The available doujins are even as varied as real-life doujinshi, ranging from High School AU to Furry Fandom to Original Generation characters. Remember: most of these characters are resurrected historical and mythological figures in real life, essentially meaning this entire scenario is RPF about the subjects running an RPF convention about themselves. | |

Superhero RPF is about people writing superhero fanfic in the Marvel Universe, where those super heroes actually exist, so basically writing real person fics. "Oh, Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us!" is the most commonplace thing in its world. | |

This happens a lot with the Yogscast. They're mostly okay with it as long as it's not in the main Tumblr tags and they're not made aware of some elements of it. Violating this rule and sending them explicit/disturbing fanfic (which in one case involved Lewis Brindley graphically abusing Hannah Rutherford) is a guaranteed way to piss them off. | |

They're not always easy to find, but there are a number of Mythbusters fanfics. The nature of these stories vary naturally, but often they involve the sort of myths you wouldn't see on the show, like trying to figure out if the Necronomicon is real or testing myths about vampires. | |

Go on YouTube. Now, in the search bar, type in any word that has some sort of relation to love or romance, or could be used as a cliche metaphoric word in a love poem. Now, count how many "Jonas Brothers Love Stories" you find. And it doesn't just have to be a love-related word. Sometimes typing in completely random words like "stairs" and "lunch" will also get you pages of these. | |

Fandom can't agree on whether it's all RPS or just some of it is. Obviously the fic where people write 'Noah' and 'Lewis' and 'Doug' doing things are RPS. But what about the vast majority of the fics, which use the names 'Spoony,' 'Linkara,' and The Nostalgia Critic and have appearances of the characters Ask That Guy, Mechakara, and Dr. Insano? So it gets complicated when it actually is dark Real-Person Fic. The Critic getting humiliated, tortured, beheaded, mutilated, gangbanged, snuffed and so on is A-OK, but when the Kink Meme asks for Doug abuse, everyone suddenly gets too scared to post anything. |

The fandoms for *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys are largely credited for jumpstarting the idea of using Livejournal as a fandom platform as the site was started right around the time of the height of the bands' careers. These two fanbases are even credited in Fanlore as the being the genesis for many of the major common fandom experiences and gradually making the idea of RPF much less taboo among fandom circles. | |

Big Time Rush, as the main characters are named after themselves, there's a lot of slashing going on with the four boys. Of course, issues with characterization might just mean that the fic in question just got their last names wrong, but mostly, RPFs are written for setting. | |

The majority of Slenderman fanfiction is Everyman HYBRID related. The cast noticed almost immediately and commented that it was both creepy and flattering at the same time.note This was in-character, but given the nature of Slenderman stories and the fact that Everyman HYBRID in particular has a large amount of direct interaction with fans, it's a given that this is their actual opinion as well. | |

Once Upon a Time: Co-stars Lana Parrilla and Jennifer Morrison, who play the popular pairing Regina/Emma, have a bunch of fanfics that pair them together to this day, years after the show has ended. A lot of these try to play them as being in a secret relationship at the time the show aired or realizing that they have feelings for each other years later. There are also a bunch of fics with Morrison and the actor who plays her on-screen love interest, Colin O'Donoghue. Some fanfics pair up Emilie de Ravin and Robert Carlyle together, despite Carlyle being happily married for years. | |

Ms. Marvel (2014): Kamala, as part of her Audience Surrogate characterization, is a devoted superhero fan and an avid writer and reader of superhero fanfic — with the catch that these superheroes are all very much real and public figures in her world. This leads to a number of comedic incidents when she discusses these with their subjects (Wolverine in particular was not pleased to learn that a story about him got third place in popularity to "Cyclops and Emma Frost's romantic vacation in Paris"), and she's less than pleased when shipping fanfics start popping about her. | |

Does Not Play Well With Others has an in-universe example of people writing fanfics about the superhero Falchion, usually slashing him with his arch-nemesis Tekmage, much to Falchion's disgust. One obsessive yaoi fangirl actually hired a hitman to bump off Falchion's girlfriend, convinced that her existence was the only thing preventing Falchion and Tekmage from realizing their true feelings for each other and being together in real life. The thing is, they are together in real life, but nobody except for the reader and Tekmage "him"self know that Samus Is a Girl. Falchion thinks he's dating Tekmage's daughter. | |

Friends: There are quite a few 'Matteney' (Matthew Perry/Courteney Cox) stories floating around, and the characterization is pretty similar to Mondler (Chandler/Monica) the couple they played on the show. This is kind of understandable though as 1) Both actors are pretty similar to their characters and 2) They've flat out admitted that their relationship is almost exactly like Monica and Chandler's "except for the sex." And the fanfic authors take care of that. | |
