Real Person Slash (RPS) is a genre of fanfiction that portrays public figures in homoerotic storylines based on a rough canon made up of the individual's public appearances, interviews, and paparazzi shots.

Real Person Slash (RPS) draws its "characters" from a variety of sources, inluding professional sports, political and cultural personalities, actors, actresses, and popular musical groups. Like its counterpart Real Person Fic (RPF), Real Person Slash (RPS) is frequently a hot topic among fans who either find it intrusive and libelous or, as defenders of the genre maintain, the "characters" as portrayed in such stories are no more or less fictional than any other character.
