Um. I don't really remember why we chose to do it this way, although it was discussed at length and this seemed like the best way to satisfy everyone (as best we could).

I understand how RPF can be squicky. I have relatives who are actors, and family friends who are actors in shows I have actually been fannish about (that was embarrassing...) so I can certainly understand the discomfort. But then, I like RPF too, in other contexts. So...um, I guess what I'm basically saying is: I hear ya! And I hope what we did was, if not perfect, then at least adequate?
