I think you're right. An author I absolutely love wrote rps where one of the character's RL marriage was breaking up because his wife was cheating on him. As much as I love the author, I couldn't read the story, b/c all I could think about was, this is this man's life, his family -- and this is almost hurtful. Just... no. Too personal, maybe.

The rps I've loved could almost be original fic -- with the actors cast as the boys in the story. I especially love rps AUs. heee!

ah, well. We both overthink, maybe. :D
