what do you do with Johnny Depp/Dominic Monaghan?

I hope the same thing we would do with a SGA/SPN crossover novel. Johnny Depp/Dominic Monaghan both belong to an established RPF fandom so the fandom categories for Lotrips and POTC RPF would apply. I think what confused me was the idea to make each real person a fandom category as well.

The way I remember it, most RPS used to be rareslash, meaning you had two well known actors who had maybe a few stories written about them but no fandom of their own. These stories were usually only referred to as actorslash. When actors also had a fandom, the fandom had a name, like for example DamonAffleck which also included many of the people who surrounded the main pairing.

I would go with actor RPF (or maybe "Rare Actor RPF"?) for all fanworks that don't have an established fandom, music RPF for all musicians who don't have an established fandom, etc. That seems more practicable than creating categories based on just one person and also more practicable than including established RPF fandoms in the same category as rare actor RPF.
