As you might have guessed from the title of their podcast, Maggie and V met on Livejournal, but after their first initial fandom brought them together, they haven't shared a fandom since. Their first fandom, and some of their subsequent fandoms as well, have fallen under the category of RPF (Real Person Fiction). While writing RPF is a fairly common practice, it is also rather controversial. The three of us discuss bandom, performative fan service, the downsides of a universal internet, the pitfalls of breaking the fourth wall, and ask if it's even possible to write RPF in an ethical way.
