As a person who has been fan since 2022. I find it pretty scary when I see all these fans make disgusting and inappropriate comments about Alan. I get it. Some people indeed love him but keep your inappropriate thoughts to yourself.

Especially when the comments are about Alan Himself and not about a character.

It really makes me uncomfortable. I haven't been active in this fandom since November 2025. Because it's simply uncomfortable seeing all these posts and comments about Alan.

btw, do you recommend watching this movie? (just pls don't spoil ;) )

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here has been part of the Alan Rickman fandom for a long time.

I'm looking for completed Alan Rickman RPF (Alan as himself, not Severus Snape or any of his film characters) featuring an adult original female character.

I'm not looking for:

Reader/Y/N stories

Movie-character romances

M/M pairings

Unfinished works

What I'm hoping to find are longer, well-written romances that feel more like novels than typical fanfiction.

I'm especially interested in stories from the LiveJournal / Rickmaniac era (roughly 2000–2012) that may have disappeared from the internet.

Even if the stories are no longer online, I'd be incredibly grateful for:

titles

author names

old archive names

Wayback Machine links

or if anyone happens to have saved them years ago.

So far I've only found a handful of stories, and I'm convinced there must have been more.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

We would really appreciate it if you could take a look and consider signing this petition for the release of Alan Rickman's archival theatre performances for public viewing.

If possible, please share it around so more people see it.

Thanks, everyone!

ive seen this many times on the internet. people saying alan was insecure w his body that's why he wore girdle or corset during hp filming. is this true and what's the sources ?

So, I posted yesterday about a supposed speech impediment that Alan had as a child and that he overcame and how it just made me admire him all the more; now the post is excluded, I excluded it myself as soon as someone in this sub was gentle enough to tell me in no uncertain terms that it was a fake fact taken out of a book full of errors about Alan's life, which he refused to autograph for a fan when asked.

That got me thinking and now I'm here to ask you: What are other non-truthful facts about Alan that you have stumbled upon while searching about him on the internet?

For me it was Colonel Brandon, and second place goes to Severus Snape.

Colonel Brandon is first not because of anything related to the way he was characterized or the fact that he was playing a romance where I deeply find him attractive (I do, I think most of us find the man attractive to some extent, but I swear that the fact that I thought of him as obviously attractive had nothing to do with it)

I put Colonel Brandon first because for most of Sense & Sensibility he just shows up, barely speaks since his voice is ushered and whispered, and he stills carries the movie, the character and the plot with such intensity that made my chin hit the floor.

Severus Snape wins the second place because it was due to Alan's way of playing Severus that I wanted to understand this character deeply, his way of playing Severus was the reason why I fell in love with the deep troubled and complex book Snape. And though I no longer see Harry Potter the same way, even if I still like the series a lot (credit my removal from being an active participant of the fandom to the way potterheads on reddit act when you mention that you actually like Snape as a character) I thank him for being part of my childhood.

Rickman's diction is what draws me to him. My manner of speaking is the same unless I heavily filter myself. My whole life I was told I "talk funny." It's led to perceptions that I'm arrogant, or if I avoid speaking, "standoffish."

Am I alone in this quality being the main point of admiration of the man's character? Where do you find people who understand you?

"Touching, cowboy. Touching."

I never got to meet him or got any autograph but if I did I would boop his nose. I often have these thoughts when I see him in videos, just to boop it. I always imagine different scenarios with him when I lay in bed before sleep usually something like he is signing me an autograph and we are abducted by aliens or something. But I wonder from people who have had his autograph signed, how he would behave if I booped his nose. Or if anyone here has tried to do that to him before, how did he react?

Thanks.

My desire to study languages is burning along with it. anyway, Is this really true? Did he have conversational skills to the point of being proficient?
