More on Anderson Cooper

[miss_pryss]

OK, my brain just went splody out my head. 'Cause you know why?

Someone really needs to write some crazy cross-genre Anderson Cooper/Sports Night fic.

I just can't bear to read about Anderson Cooper sleeping with Jon Stewart when Jon Stewart has this nice wife! And baby! And also the RPS factor kinda wigs me. Jon Stewart seems too real, but Anderson Cooper--how could be possibly be a real person, with all of the fabulous cliches he embodies? Clearly he can't. Be real, that is.

Anyway, none of that RPS stuff for me. Someone needs to get that white-haired Vanderbilt wunderkind some legitimate fictional ass, and Danny and Casey both seem like fine possiblities. They are, after all in the same business as he is. Um.

Yeah.

Anderson Cooper/Jon Stewart RPS, baby.

Needs to be done.

Noooo!!! (claps hands desperately over ears to drown out siren song)

Anderson Cooper/Rob Marciano! YES!!!!!

Um, he's entirely real. And if you're not OK with reading RPS about real people, why are you reading Real People Slash?

Well, I'm *not* reading RPS slash. I'm sort of incoherently speculating about it, for the most part.

And yes, of course I know he's real. But I'm not generally a fan of RPS, although of course I have no problem with other people reading/writing it. It's simply not my bag. But right now I'm trying to figure out a context in which I could slash this sort of imaginary amalgam Anderson Cooper that I've made up in my brain without getting into potentially (for me) icky territory.

I failed to mention in my previous post that I don't actually own a tv and have never in fact seen this dude in action. I'm just sort of fascinated by his life story as told by the Internetz, which reads so much like a bad chick lit novel or Smallville AU that it's hard for me to think of it as real. In contrast to someone like Jon Stewart, who, for whatever irrational reason, has the "real" label firmly stapled to his forehead in my conception of him.

Not that you asked for this whole huge reply, but now that I've gotten going, I sort of want to make this explicit.

I figure this is probably all going to end in one of two ways: either I get over myself and learn to dig the RPS angle or I get over myself and realize that Anderson Cooper is, sadly, a real person, and thus probably not Pryss-friendly slash fodder.

Anyway, if this whole thing pisses you (and Mama Kent) off, feel free to skip further posts on it. I do own up to whatever hypocrisy or internal contradiction you might be noticing, however.

*explodes with you*

Dan/Casey/Anderson threesome.

Must be done.

I know! And honestly, the more I think about it the more necessary it seems.
