Embarrassed for him, I guess. Sad too. I dunno, from what I heard of EF he was pretty fucked up for a while.
I mean, the lobster story is funny. And I would *want* to read a fic like that if it hadn't happened; I'd want to read a fic where EF and VK were a little fucked up or high on something and doing something zany like that together. But the fact that it actually happened makes me attach a reality to it that kinda ruins the fun for me. Like, worry about children and drugs and stuff like that that it's usually pretty easy for me to separate from fic and fantasy.
Anyway, I don't mind RL details in RPS usually, unless it's a suggestion of something bad that really happened or might have happened. And if it is, it only bothers me if I think it's not being handled carefully. Like the lobsters just remind me of his drug problems so just a fun smutty romp with VK would be kinda ruined for me. But if it was treated seriously, like with VK realizing EF is truly fucked up somewhere therein, that this is not just a funny adventure but actually symptomatic of something deeper that's wrong, I'd be fine with it. I mean, it was just lobsters, by I connect it with EF's alleged problems at the time, so that's how I feel about it.
But DB is married. Mention that in RPS, it's ok with me. Make him have sex with JM without going into the consequences and ugly reality of adultery, make it a smutty romp, and it's still fine with me. Because I just don't think DB/JM ever happened or might've happened. But take the exact same story with DB/SMG and I start to have a problem because I think it actually might have happened. But take that smutty romp and add weight to it, deal with the serious issues there, and I will be fine with it all over again.
Um, hopefully that explanation makes sense. Sorry so long!
