I think Real Life (TM) should come with cheat codes.

In other news, could someone do a reality check for me? The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the terms RPS and FPS originated on RS-X. (And wow, can I cram any more acronyms into one sentence?) Because I can't remember it being called anything but "actorslash" (and musicianslash, I suppose, but that never came up in the rants I read) before that, and I definitely remember when the F in FPS stood for "fake" and I made noises and asked to use "FictionalPS" and um. itkindaworked.

So, help? Reality check? Was I a part of a revolution?

(Edit: Going through the RS-X message archive, and I'm starting to get convinced that yes, we did indeed give birth to the terms RPS and FPS. For example, there's a post by Vali on the legalities of RPS, except she calls it "realslash".

Ho hum.)

Mostly for my own reference

Point to be made in the "legal" part of the FMO:

RPS is no more "visible" than FPS.

RPS is less illegal that FPS. (Note to self: resist the urge to say "That's rich, coming from somone who writes copyright-infringing stories.)

The fact that one person would get sued for RPS does not mean there will immediately be a huge backlash against all slash.

Um. They just got a call from the adoption agency. They have a baby.

Today ...

Justin Randall Timberlake is turning 21, and John Lydon is turning 46.

Congratulations, both ofyou, and yes, feel free to throw a party in my head, as long as it's two seperate ones. Some crossovers are too eep for even me to contemplate.

Okay.

I'm having an urge to make an icon of Elrond's eyebrow. Yes, I'm insane. Also, I don't use non-me icons, so I'd not use it myself. IF anyone would like it, yell and I'll make it for you. :)
