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. Extremely bad fandom etiquette, and I think it's quite rude to the actors as well. (Note, I'm not opposed to RPS. I *write* RPS. And yes, it's on my website, and a few minutes with Google will turn it up, so it's within the realm of possibility that the actors involved have seen it. But I'm not going to hand it to them, because I want them to have the choice of ignoring / avoiding it.)

I really wouldn't recommend it, and honestly don't see what purpose it would serve.

Just my 0.02.

Yeah, when you click a link you always take a risk with what's going to be on the other side. You give tacit permission to be exposed to that material if you find it on Google and choose to click the link. Actually physically handing the stuff over is a whole different kettle of fish.

My instinct says no, don't do it. I think it would be embarrasing for all concerned.
