There are myriad blogs on Tumblr dedicated to the band, many of which can easily be described as fan fiction. The blogs turn members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson into fictionalized characters who, especially in the case of Styles and Tomlinson, engage in relationships that are, well, far more intimate than the ones the guys have in real life.
Talking to the creators of Storyboard for "Inside the Crazy World of 1D Fandom," Tomlinson admitted that the fan fiction has impacted his real-life relationship with Styles.
Asked whether he or his bandmates ever feel pressured to live up to the "characters" that their fans create or whether it is strange to have entire websites created around fictional relationships within the band, Tomlinson said, "This is a subject that was funny at first but now is actually hard to deal with as I am in a relationship. ... It is actually affecting the way me and Harry are in public. We want to joke around, but there seems to be a different rumor every time we do anything."

When tumblr fans read this, they reacted like this:
notice how he said 'I'm in a relationship' NO mention of Eleanor.....
Dear MTV, fuck you. I’m so pissed it isn’t even funny.
- They get hard thinking about a smut scene they read cuddled up in bed the night before and so have to keep their distance so they don’t just fuck each other on stage.
- Management flipping their shit over whatever the hell we’re giggling about and so it’s their control that affects the way Larry act.
MTV. You slut.
In the MTV article, Louis never says who he is in a relationship with
“If Larry Stylinson is not real why go out of your way and make it a point to put the focus on it to try to stop it..it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever just ignore it”
Oh management you just keep failing and failing and failing again.
Oh, and this time? It actually failed.
Twitter fans:
Now the rest of the article:
Fan obsession is nothing new for One Direction. Just last week, a video still of Styles appearing to kiss Horan onstage during a concert — a moment that was, by all accounts, the result of a camera-angle quirk and two bandmates whispering to each other — inspired countless breathlessstories and speculation. In general, of course, the guys have become so recognizable that they are unable to walk around major cities, as Horan recently told MTV News.
"We've had some crazy times on this tour. When we were in New York, we were on our day off, and me and Liam were going down the street with one of our security guys and we got absolutely mobbed by about 600 people in Times Square, so it was kind of nuts," Horan said. "That was the first kind of day where I thought, 'OK ... can't take a walk down the street.' "
