I miss the fourth wall. :(

Oh God, Kat's read Lily/Kat RPF? Ugh, excuse me while I CURL UP INTO A BALL AND DIE. Obviously I think fanfiction is awesome, including RPF, but nothing makes me cringe more than when actors or creators acknowledge its existence. :(

(Also, why did the person who asked the question have to direct her to the Pit, of all places? Guaranteed scarring for life.)

I think with all the utter destroying of the fourth wall in American Idol fandom I'm way past cringing over this sort of thing, but seriously, there is just no point in asking them about it. It only creates unnecessary awkwardness, and most of the time—when, as it almost always happens, the people asking about it are seriously lacking in self-awareness—it makes the entire fandom look really, really bad.

With the really big RPF fandoms the breaking of the fourth wall doesn't bother me as much, but because Skins is such a small fandom and the actors seem normal and not that famous (as opposed to being "celebrities") that it seems extra weird. But, yeah, it always just makes fandom look bad. :/
