Okay, first off let me stress what I’m not ranting about. I’m not ranting about OTP’s (One True Pairings). People have them, and that’s great. Personally, I don’t, although I have a few individuals and pairings that I particularly like, and a few that - in general - I avoid. But I am way too big of a pairings
slut courtesan to be faithful and true to one pairing only, and every time I jump up and down and swear that I will never EVER read a character or a pairing or a genre, some talented rat bastard goes and writes something that blows me out of the water and makes a complete liar out of me.
Because I have
been addicted to trusted particular writers, I have to admit to both reading and loving among the following:
Lurtz/Legolas, various incarnations of pantsless Ian McKellen *glares at
abundantlyqueer, then snugs her and her fics anyway- pantsless Ian and all*, and Viggo/Orlando Mpreg that made me laugh, cry and
believe by
chaosmanor and
jasmineskie And I’m not even trying to push the philosophy of ‘try it - you might like it’. God knows my parents have been trying that one on me to get me to eat vegetables, and if it hasn’t worked yet, I don’t expect it to now, so I’m not going to go there on anyone. So, despite the length of what I’ve just written on this- I promise I’m not writing this to judge people who have an OTP.
So what the hell am I babbling about anyway?
( My problem is with people who feedback a particular story and say ‘I don’t like this story because I don’t like the pairing’. )
