Pollute the Air

Did your favorite fandom get rejected because it was one fic over the limit?
Have you just fallen in love with a new fandom the day after nominations ended?
Or are you morbane?

Tell us all


Also:
In the last post the idea came up to create a community where you can post your most shameful yuletide requests anonymously. Check out [community profile] youwantwhat

That's (same-sex) (shippers and gen lovers), not (same-sex shippers) and (gen lovers), right? Another new anon loves gen but hasn't gotten into most of these multifandom non-Yuletide exchanges, is there somewhere I should be looking?

Yeah! Same-sex gen and same-sex romance is covered in M/M Rares and I'm assuming that all women rare character exchange too. The gen would have to be on the "close friendship" side (eg, if someone asks for Han Solo/Luke Skywalker, don't have Han being more buddy-buddy with Boba Fett) but non-romance or sexual fics are welcome and beloved.

Two that you'll see talked about on _coal a lot are
http://nightonficmountain.dreamwidth.org/profile Night On Fic Mountain: small, rare, inactive fandoms
http://mm-rares.dreamwidth.org/profile M/M Rares: rare m/m ships and crossiver ships. fandom size doesn't matter, ship just has to have <200 fics

There's also Not Prime Time.

To keep up with all the random exchanges you should lurk

and the actual Yuletide comm

Unrelated, but god I want more Han Solo/Boba Fett fic.

I ship both. If you request it, I will always magically find and write it. Finding prompts for my rarepairs in exchanges is my one true fannish gift.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US! Join the exchange lifestyle. It's nothing but pain but hey it really pays off if you've got rarepairs or super unique ideas/tropes in a megafandom.

Wait, this is a thing that exists?

(I want more Boba Fett fic, period. Although preferably sans Karen Traviss slant, which is becoming trickier to find...)

NAYRT but the original one who mentioned Han/Boba fic.

Yes it's a wonderful rarepair that never gets much time but is always amazing and dub/noncony when you can find it.

I just want fic based on Last Man Standing from Tales of the Bounty Hunters, from before when Fett took off his helmet and gave his life story at the drop of a hat. I think there needs to be a rare Star Wars exchange, is what I'm saying.

Uhhhh, and I want to write you this fic. There definitely does need to be an exchange conducive to making these desires a reality...

Also, FemslashEx doesn't have a rule about rarity, but a lot of the stuff that comes out of it tends to be on the medium to rarer side and not f/f fandom juggernauts.
