I agree with Johnny'sGirl. I think most band fic people write are based on the perception of a celebrity's public persona and in that way kind of fictionalizes them.
As a rule, I try not to judge fan fiction of any kind because whatever people want to do creatively and share with the world and that doesn't actively harm people shouldn't be discouraged. Fan fiction shows a real dedication to writing, I mean, you can't really capitalize on it and the only reward you can get for it is a fanbase and some comments/reviews if you even publish it at all. It could be the weirdest, most invasive thing ever, but ultimately it's only as harmful as any other media.
So I guess it's more of a thing of if your have permission and if they know. Also the content. It'd be incredibly creepy if you wrote a sex scene that included your best friend, to me at least.
