I've just been dared - or more like ordered - to take an RPS fic as a gift for whichever actor will be at the next Collectormania. I'm thinking possibly not. I would, but I really don't want to scar some poor dear for life and make him never do a convention again...

Er, that sort of thing is considered to be extremely bad fandom ettiquette. You're essentially going up to someone and saying, "Hi! These are all my sexual fantasies about you with another person, and I'm going to shove them in your face!" There was a huge kerfluffle about a year ago in LOTRPS when some twit came up to Ian McKellan and his SO while they were eating and babbled on about RPS and gave them her website address. It's basically the height of rudeness, to both the actor and to the fellow fans.

I remember that....

....that was one of the most tedious arguments I've ever witnessed lol.

Luckily, he seemed to take it very well, but I saw the point that they may be slightly....squicked.

Fanfic is the best way to go with that I think - last thing you want to do is upset someone.
