Regarding the libel/slander issue, RPF is actually less of a legal issue than actual tv or movie-based fanfiction. Speaking STRICTLY from the legal standpoint, RPF is not illegal because the fiction is normally adamntly disclaimed as _fiction_, whereas BtVS fic is infringing on a copyright.

As Kate said, no one is passing off fan_fiction_ to be true, and if anyone has, most of the RPF/RPS community hasn't heard about it.
