Actorfic

To me, actorfic would include any fic wherein there is an acknowledgement (even if they are in jokes) that DD and GA have something to do with M & S, which would make HAD an actorfic.

Somebody could put an actorfic under the show title or put an NC-17 story and rate it R.

Short of actual actorfics (which don't seem to have reared their ugly heads mych^([sic]) recently), now & in the past, most references I've noticed tend to be harmless humourous^([sic]) little injokes in which, say, M or S discovers an old magazine in which the other appears in an embarassing^([sic]) photo identical to one of DD or GA's.

I think your efforts might be better rewarded by trying to finish that and making it the best X-Files story you can, instead of writing actorfic which, by my definition, is *not* X-Files fanfic.

I've seen the occasional thing... and I know it is out there... but the suggestion I saw sort of implied that actorfic was more prevelant^([sic]) in the Star Trek fan fiction community.

An early article on Slate, otherwise sympathetic to slash fiction, declared that "actorfic" violated fanfic's basic principle of being fantasy: "Writers risk enraging straight actors. Slash infuriates actors even when it focuses only on fictional characters."
