Weeding through the RPS list...

[kaydeefalls]

Am beginning to develop a fetish for unusual RPS pairings. As long as neither Dom nor Lij is involved, because then I spend the whole fic silently rooting for them to get together. But. Unusual pairings. Yes. WHY are there only 3 John Rhys-Davies fics on the Beyond the Fellowship archive? Bah. I think he'd be an interesting character.

But rooting through the lists and archive is getting a little frustrating. You can't always tell beforehand what the good fics are, and although I don't mind mediocre fics so long as they have SOME redeeming qualities, five or ten of 'em in a row gets disheartening. So. Anyone out there have any recs? I seek well-written fics with unusual pairings.

...btw, when is that bloody archive gonna be UPDATED?

check out the Rolling Smut Factory of Epic Proportions, here:

lots of unusual pairings! and some of them quite good. Also, have you read "Up Shit Creek" by Lobelia yet? It's up at BtF, it's Billy/Karl, and it's very very good.

You can ask that from lotrjunkie, she's the one who owns the site. It's updated when she has time from RL, so I wouldn't be too pushy ;)

As for recommendations for rare parings: I dunno. But if you want quality stories, go here. (http://www.waxjism.net/bloomwood/) It's an Orli/Lij archive (obviously) so it's not really what you're looking for, but it's the cream of the crop.
