- 2000 May 3, pam, “metafic vs. actorfic Re: HAD question - "actor-fic"”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative[2] (Usenet):
- I *hate* it when metafics (like "The Round Files" and any number of other excellent stories) get lumped in and condemned along with actorfics (like "Homewrecker" or "The Murder of Tea Leoni" or whatever it was called).
- 2003 March 4, pam, “Re: Long time gone, any recs?”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative[6] (Usenet):
- Short of actual actorfics (which don't seem to have reared their ugly heads mych[sic] recently), now & in the past, most references I've noticed tend to be harmless humourous little injokes in which, say, M or S discovers an old magazine in which the other appears in an embarassing[sic] photo identical to one of DD or GA's.

- 2000 October 29, Kate Bolin, “Re: META: A FAQ for .creative?”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer.creative[9] (Usenet):
- I can see actorfic being posted to private mailing lists, but this is *such* a public forum, and like how fanfiction isn't posted to atbvs and ata, actorfic (which is, in a way, a discussion about the actor) shouldn't be posted here, for essentially the same reason.
- 2003 March 6, SubRosa [username], “Re: Long time gone, any recs?”, in alt.tv.x-files.creative[11] (Usenet):
- I don't think anyone here is likely to argue in support of actorfic, but how to define it is an interesting question. To me, actorfic/realperson fic is a creepy violation of the individual's privacy.

- An early article on Slate, otherwise sympathetic to slash fiction, declared that "actorfic" violated fanfic's basic principle of being fantasy: "Writers risk enraging straight actors. Slash infuriates actors even when it focuses only on fictional characters."
