I was thinking about real person fic and it's associated ethical boundaries, and it suddenly struck me: I've been in RPF.

Back when I was in second year the then fresher Raven wrote a story called "Death Becomes Unisfa" which was a rambling disjointed description of everyone in unisfa dying in various wacky and unlikely ways (As I recall I dropped a giant turtle on someone's head. [livejournal.com profile] col_ki maybe?) Everyone read it and I don't remember anyone being very offended on principle, though I think some didn't like the particulars (I mean, a giant turtle? Is that really me?)

I realise that being described as a crazed Terry Pratchett obsessed murderer is not actually the sort of thing people tend to find objectionable in RPF, but it's still an amusing thought.

EDIT: Yeah, yeah, OFC is the wrong term, I couldn't think of a better title. Also, having been reminded of other similar stories, I think it make s abig difference what the intent is behind the story. If you're deliberately setting out to offend people then you probably will...
