Some great insights expressed here. As a writer I also have always considered Adam to be a character based on the real Adam but since I don't know him either it's all purely fictional. I thought I was the only one who saw it that way so thanks for sharing. All my characaters are the same thing, purely fictional.
I also think it's good to explore the not so nice things that people do to and say about each other. People are affected and while generally fanfiction seems to be about happy endings, the conflicts and bad things overcome by characters make a story much better in my opinion. No pain, no gain.
I'm tired too of what's happening in the fandoms and forums, and on twitter. People are being ridiculous and quite mean. I think they're too invested in their OTP, way too invested. This is supposed to be fun but it's ceased being fun. I also don't appreciate places that tell me what I'm not allowed to talk about. Adios amigos!
Rambling, sorry but thank you for some great thoughts. This stuff really should be discussed. It might be enlightening for many people.
