This was great, so simple, but very profound. I understand completely where your coming from, every word making so much sense in so many ways. It was very much your opinion, but I feel as if a lot of was almost the definition of a fanfiction and what a fanfiction author does.
It wasn't offense, even to me being a fanfiction author. I have seen it just as you've said it. But, like you said, they are so loved and so perfect on stage. They are who we want them to be because we don't know that. And so authors use that to their advantage.
The last sentence was the very best. It ended it off so perfectly. Almost as if you were doing the killing yourself. Like, killing the story by those last words. It made me want more, despite the fact that there isn't more.
Sorry this is becoming very much of a ramble. It's brilliant, just remember that.
The way you word it, right from the beginning, it truly awe-inspiring. It really gets the reader sucked in. You're writing just puts a spell over the reader, and you can't stop yourself from continuing.
You're perfect because you're not, and you don't care to be.
Perfect. I like how you state here that perfection is imperfection. It's a great switch from the usual "Perfection is all about being perfect and amazing" instead of not caring about it. That is what perfect is.
You're perfect because you're up there, for everyone to see, naked in your vulnerability but clad in tight leather and studded belts.
My jaw literally dropped at this sentence. It was just...so true. You have such a lovely way with words. How you state their "naked in vulnerability" yet still "clad in tight leather and studded belts"; true genius. It shows how it goes deeper than just the outside appearance.
You are one sick victim. They've killed you, and resurrected an actor.
That last, lone sentence is like a punch to the gut. You're working your way up, and then bam. I love how this drabble really makes you think. You're words affected me and made me think of how much we think we know about the people we write about; when really we know nothing.
Your writing is truly powerful. The topic in which you write about is really different. (:
