Fanfiction is a transformative practice based on diverse cultural products such as books, films, anime, manga, comics and other source materials. This article problematizes Real Person Slash (RPS), established not by the rewriting of a particular story, but by the fictionalization of life and (hypothetical) homoaffective relationships between artists, in which bandoms access celebrities as media artifacts through fragments of information at textual and extratextual levels (interviews, videos, performances, photos, news and gossip magazines).
One fanfic about members of the girl band Fifth Harmony was selected in this study. During the analysis, it was noticed that RPS producers manipulate the public figure (persona), transforming it into a character for which a fictional private self (person) is created, in search of identification and representativeness. It was concluded that RPS, as a literary repertoire, is based on pretending acts, as proposed by Wolfgang Iser (1999) in his observations about the fictive and the imaginary.
