One question

[johndoe2007]

I'm writing a story which involves celebrities. The only thing is that they aren't real people so I was wondering if I should put the story in the celebrity category or something else.

 

[yevkassem72]

Fake celebs? Now, that's original. But I am not sure that they belong in celebs or not.

 

[scheherazade_79]

My gut feeling is "something else". When people read the Celebrities category, they're usually looking for names they recognise, faces they can picture etc. etc. If your story has unknowns in it, because the celebrities have been made up, you could end up getting troll votes, or having your story overlooked altogether.

Good luck

You should go with zade's gut. She's right. the Celebrities cat is for real life celebrities.

I'd risk it, without any disclaimer. There are hundreds of stories in the celeb. cat. that feature people I've never heard of, nor would recognise in RL if they hit me up the side of the head with a tennis shoe.

Lillee Sobiesky? Rebecca St James? anybody out of NSYNC?

Do it. Invent your own celeb and wait for the contract offers.

Edit to add: Even though you can put a face to them; Joey Tribbiani, Luke Skywalker, Cagney or Lacy, Elliot Reed. None of these are real people either.

Don't bother putting it in celebs if you don't need to; the numbers are lower there than in other categories.

Can't explain it but this gave me a big laugh. What an image. If you ever do get hit up side your head with a tennis shoe by someone you don't know, ask for an autograph.

I was thinking Josie and the Pussycats or maybe Jonny Quest.

Mmm...Josie...Melody...Valerie....*choked off drool/gurgle*

 

[JPMMURPHY]

Maybe you could make it real celebrities playing fake ones. A movie staring - J Roberts and whoever....

 

[bluebell]

I wonder if anyone fantasizes about Patrick Swayze, besides Patrick Swayze

Lillee Sobiesky?

Long-haired, ferrety vermin.

Rebecca St James?

Someone wrote a porn story about a contemporary christian singer?!
Holy shit. Now I gotta find it.

anybody out of NSYNC?

Well, I suppose they could all use a good cleansing of the pipes...

If they're totally fictitious, put it somewhere else (Celebs is a wasteground for readers), if they're characters from a show (like Buffy, or Waylon Smithers) leave it in Celebs.

Ah Celebs. Well, a celeb is never real so what are you asking?

Hmm....they wouldn't have to be strictly Christian singers, just mainstream singers with annoying tendencies to preach in their songs, like Carrie Underwood. She clearly needs a good ass-fucking to straighten her out. Preferably by a transsexual who hasn't had her op yet.

Out of all the ficticious characters on tv you pick Buffy and Waylon Smithers?

Probably put it in another category but have the word celebrity in the tags.Thanks for the tips. They were all ehlpful except this one which I don't think quite makes sense.

Ah Celebs. Well, a celeb is never real so what are you asking?

Lilee Sobiesky???? As in the chick in Joan of Arc?

No!!!!! She's so not a ferrety vermin!!!!!

I'll have you know that I'm secretly in love with her, and if you call her a ferrety vermin again, Bluebell, I shall have no option but to slap you soundly.

*shrug* Well that should tell you a bit, shouldn't it?

I always thought Lilee looked like she was Helen Hunt's daughter. And I always liked Helen Hunt, so that's not a bad thing.

Getting in line for my slap

Well, Rebecca St. James is an out-and-out, shelved-in-the-gospeliest-of-all-gospel-sections kinda singer.
But she, too, could probably use a digger in the ass.

Don't promise things if you can't follow through, Zade.

*begins to think up other names to call the ferrety vermin in question*
