Yeah, I really never did have the fannish bias against RPF that was so prevalent back when I was first involved in organized fandom (starting from the early 2000s). I do have an issue with fans writing RPF that's more about them and their own personal fantasies than about the people/characters (i.e. writing a story with kids or a particular sex act or knitting or whatever because the writer herself finds that interesting or hot, rather than something that person/character would be likely to do), but I have that exact same issue when fans do that with fictional characters.
For references (though not for quotation), this is what I said about RPF back in 2002. My opinions have clarified a little since then (in the sense that it's clearer to me now what exactly I do and don't have an issue with), but they're more or less the same.
