Supernalcrimson is indeed my ficjournal. I didn't even dare to post a link to it on my personal LJ in fear of getting shunned by the XF fps readers on my flist. I love, read and write both FPS and RPS with various pairings, and when I read how DD gushed about Nick's new place that story simply forced me to write it down. The guys just slashed themselves. Can't tell you how glad I am that you liked my fic! I doubt many will read it, so every comment on it is valued, cherished & appreciated. Unfortunately, I can't promise more fics with them, as my muse is very fickle and rarely generous.
I have been actually wondering why there isn't any xf rps, but the reason might be that when the xf fps fandom began, rps wasn't as widely accepted or even very known. *hugs*
I don't honestly know why the fandom shuns RPS. I do know that I was involved in some gossipy-type conversations about the guys, and it was mentioned a couple of times that a lot of people get squicked by anything even remotely "real", and some topics are totally taboo.
It's actually quite two-faced if you think twice. After all, in most cases why people choose to slash certain characters is because they find the actors behind hot, separately and together. It is not the only reason naturally, but it is very often a huge part of why we fall for a character. Personally, I couldn't imagine Krycek looking like anyone else than Nick or Mulder other than DD for that matter.
I just had a discussion with someone about just this subject (see previous posts in this thread).
I totally agree that it is hypocritical. As I said earlier, when I watch the X Files or a movie with Nick in it, I am not thinking that "Oooh baby, Alex Krycek is hot!", I'm thinking "Christ on a pogo stick, that Nick Lea is Sex.On.Legs!".
It would be very difficult to convince me that people are really, truly thinking of only the characters and not the actor who plays them. There is just NO WAY you can separate them.
And I think the reverse is true as well; that the actor identifies with the characters because it may be something another person thought up, but the actor is the person that brought the character to life. In some cases, they created a wholly different character than the one that was originally envisioned, so it is truly their own. No one else but Nick Lea could or would have made Alex Krycek the wonderful character he was. And no one else but David Duchovny could or would have made Fox Mulder the incredible character he was.
