I'm now slightly curious as to whether anyone else has engaged in roleplaying tourism before?
Sort of, but in reverse. I have a tendency to play "roleplaying tour guide" whenever one of my players wanders too near somewhere that I have set bits of a game they played in. (Mostly this happens to lathany of course.)
I found out more than I perhaps wanted to know about fan fiction.
Oh, I know what you mean. What worries me most is that there's some really scary stuff just in the bits they let you see. I mean really - if LotR RPS is for public consumption, what do these people write in private ?!
Made worse by my colleague Simon, who is a Bad Man
He's probably hoping you'll "punish" him. You're not his manager are you ?
I have no particular objection to any subject matter in fiction as long as it is well written - but I can't imagine what makes people want to write most of this stuff!
I'm in a different department to Simon since he left to go to corporate finance. Hmm... Simon wanting me to punish him? In a fan fiction world, perhaps...
It was all down to nickeyb and secondhandrick. Not sure if I have your email address, but if so I'll get in touch next time I'm due to be in Oxford and we could meet up to say hi.
I only have the vaguest idea what you're up to at present - LJ details are the sum total of my knowledge.

Long (hundreds of chapters-long), complicated LotR RPS with implausible combinations of kinks to push their own buttons and butter their own muffins.
Apparently Mr. Bloom is genuinely charmed by it.

Was nice to see you for the first time in ooooh, 7 years - I hope it;s not another 7 before I get to see you again!

I'm impressed that you remember that much about it. The campaign must be a good eight or so years old.

Yep. I mainly avoid fan fiction for this reason.
