RPs

Stands for Real People {Slash}. Also see {RPF} (or Real People Fiction). A popular although slightly controversial genre of fanfiction involving real life people. Namely actors, musicians, athletes, politicians... etc. Basically anyone who is in the public eye. RPS stories or {fics} depict a romantic and/or sexual relationship between two members of the same sex. Different from {fanfiction} or {fanfic} which involve fictional characters. Follows the same general traditions of fictional slash, with separate cliques, fanlistings and archives.
