posts like this really scare me. 

to save you the click:  a post of a new story in ian_pieter, a swimslash community, with the mood "sad," about pieter van den hoogenband's girlfriend.  the story concludes that they're cohabiting.  the poster concludes, "Sounds pretty serious to me. What do you think?"

i mean, jesus people.  i wish there were fandom police. i wish there were tests you had to take to be allowed into RPS.

Seriously, you ought to have to meet some sort of minimal reality-testing criterion.

exactly. i mean, it's also the fact that people like that are out there in the real world too. unidentifiable at a glance!

Amen.

I was chatting with my friend April and went "am I the only one who doesn't care if Pieter has a girlfriend?" Fangirls are so strange.

rps is iffy like that. a lot people hate it because they think it's immoral, and another bunch of people go way too far in it. i really don't see why they can't just treat it like 'normal' fan fiction. you know, as in fan fiction. just because they're real people doesn't make your stories real. dude.

exactly.

if i owned the internet i'd hire you to orientate these schmucks.
