I mean, fandoms are the biggest open secret out there....
Fandoms, yes. Real Person Slash? I'm not so sure I'd buy that.
It's just because they keep to themselves, noone cares.
Precisely. But if you shove something into an actor/producer/writer's face, there goes plausible deniability. For that person to ignore it then is to basically say they condone it. And hey, maybe that's not such a big issue for an actor, but if a producer or someone out there gets a hold of it, well then here comes the C&Ds.
You also simply don't know how a celeb is going to react unless you're dealing with one of those few, rare cases where he/she has point blank said he's okay with it and maybe even enjoys it. The number of which I can count on one hand. I'm not one to try to guess how a celeb might react to my written fantasies about him and his colleagues and it makes me incredibly uncomfortable to think about the long-term implications of what might happen if someone reacted really badly to it.
