You couldn't pay me to be Alan Rickman...okay maybe you could...

Today I openly voiced what I have known inside for a loooong time.
The Number One Reason I Never Want to Be a Famous Actress:
Fanfiction.
Now, being a writer of fanfiction, (shut UP, Jackie,) and knowing that most fanfictions, even when based on "books," use the characters who look like the actors who play them in the movie versions of the books.
Harry Potter fiction?
You bet your Bludger they've got little Dan, Emma, Rupert, Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon/Richard Harris et al. running about in their mind's eye enacting all manner of things as the plot of the fanfiction winds along.
Phantom phics? Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum are the ones doing the tearful reunions and "I made a mistake in choosing Raoul! Turns out he's abusive and sex with him is rape even though I'm his legal wife and evidently had no reservations about the act before!" in every single goshdarn EC out there. Unless you get a hardcore Leroux goth-baby who has Christine as a blonde. And even then, no one really tries to describe the characters unless they are making a point out of it. And that point is usually "I am making her blonde because you are all illiterate amateurs!"
Pfft. Screw 'em.
Heck, when I write fics, even about books, even if I use information form the books, chances are that 98% of the time I will be picturing the actors from the movies playing the parts I am writing for them. (Exceptions include my Viola in 12th Night fics because I want her as a brunette. Don't get me wrong, I *hearted* Imogen Stubbs in that movie. And Ben Kingsley and Toby Stephens were the shizznit. *triple heart*)
So yeah, whenever I see disturbing fics involving these characters, my heart goes out to the actors and I pray they never discover what some sick people are making them do for fun.
If I am ever famous, I am putting out a copyright on my image, allowing no one to write fanfiction about me or any of the characters I play. If the authors can copyright their created characters and plots and written word and forbid people from ff.net from using them, why shouldn't actors do the same with the roles they create?
And if I DO get famous, a shout out to the fanfic'ers:
I'm watching you. You sick fucks.
