Clicked my way through from astolat lambvid commentage and found that you haven't posted since... 2008???
Anyway, yes! Rare pairings! 'tis frustration, and tell me about it! The only thing left to do is to write your own and then you risk nobody a) reading, and b) nobody even understanding. When I wrote my April Bingham fics in SGA, many readers thought that April was an original character so rare is she!!!
I've not been in a fandom, I have to admit, where I've only liked the rare. I usually drool over the standard, mainstream pretty PLUS an assortment of rare and weird and generally unloved.
Of course, my one-time-to-die-for OTP is Draco/Dudley. And who wrote that??? *looks around into empty ether* To me, these two are so obviously to be paired. Who is the first person Harry is reminded of when he first claps eyes on Draco? Well, DUH.
I have been writing a triangle-opus for years now. Will it ever see the light of day? There is no fan love to throw oil on those fires.
