I think it might be just a convenience thing, in that there is for example much less Joe/David than McShep, so if people who are into the actors as well just put it with the SGA stuff, and might think it misleading to label the section "SGA & SGA RPS" because it's *mostly* fictional with just a bit RPS. But OTOH to me it really feels like a trend that for some in fandom the actor fic and show fic are like two sides or aspects of the same fandom. Still clearly labelled, like you'd label for other pairings or warnings, but in the same fandom space. I've seen that in several of my fandoms where actorslash is popular, like communities that are for both Ewan/Hayden and Anakin/Obi-Wan, or SPN spaces that are for Jensen/Jared as well, like the SPN newsletter that cover actorfic stories as well as SPN stories. So it's not just in fandoms where RPS is rather a small section (s it seems to be in SGA). And it just bugs me, because for me the fandoms are different, and I find it impractical and inconvenient that resources that are usually fandom specific more and more are so only "sort-of" in that they'll always cover the actor side as well.
