I especially agree with "What NOT to do"!! Except for the last point, as I've found that I'm surprisingly monogamous when I'm into a favorite fandom. Save for the occasional little affair on the side. :)
All is fair in fiction, I say. Every writer I know gives the warnings BEFORE anyone reads a story and everybody can decide for themselves, if they don't care about a specific topic.
I avoided RPS for the longest time, I thought it was disrespectful to the persons involved. But another writer has eased me into it a while ago and I don't understand my former issues with it anymore, on the contrary, I mourn what I missed because of that. Your explanation "character based on xyz" is just perfect.
I remember one Adam Lambert saying that a lot of people take pop music (and the artists) too seriously, when it's supposed to be FUN. Just like fandom, as you said before. Let's celebrate that. :)
