What is this called?

morgandawn: (Cat How... Interesting!)

Does fandom have a word or a phrase for people (fans, journalists…) deliberately asking about fanworks/showing fanworks to the actors and other TPTB. Examples: making the actors read fanfic out-loud, showing them fanart in public and observing their reactions, asking actors in front of an audience about slash, sending/giving actors/TPTB fanworks privately, putting actors/TPTB into positions where they are forced to make a statement about fanworks…

This is not necessarily outing, because it is not always tied to a specific fanwork. Ex: someone asking an actor about slash or mpreg or RPF fiction without naming specific fanworks.
