Yeah, subject pretty much says it all, lol
There's always Gale/Randy and more Gale/Randy, but what about Gale/Yara?
Anyone spotted fics with that pairing? (Preferable funny ones, but since I doubt this pairing is overpopular I'm not picky here, lol )

[btw: how is hetero "rps" called? ] thanks, [livejournal.com profile] maxymama

Edit: *sighs* So if fandom is done with bashing, I'd like to get back to topic, lolz.
Many comments here, but still no recs ;_;

Oh, and now that I know what you're looking for, good luck. In this fandom, with the Gale love? They only share him with Randy, girls need not apply.

Although there are some malcontents always willing to buck the tide. lol

I don't know, it's too close to author insertion for me. *shudders*

I know. Someone linked me to one, I almost died.

And not in a positive, life-affirming way.

Ha. I love those in the Harry Potter fandom. "A young girl named {insert author's name here} gets sent to Hogwarts. HOMGZ!!1" Ah, no. That's why I never go to ff.net anymore. That's all there is. And it is not pretty. Creepy, yes. Pretty, no. And that's also why I don't really like RPS/RPF... kinda creepy and stalkerish... *shrug*

Although, I don't think I've ever come across that (author insertion) in this fandom.

And please, no links... :P

"A young girl named {insert author's name here} gets sent to Hogwarts."
Bwahaha! Can't really blame them for wanting to go to Hogwarts, though, can you?

I don't get the appeal of Mary Sue-ing in general. If I wanted to write about myself, I'd go write diary or something.

As far as RPS goes, I've long deprived myself of the joy of (well written) Gale/Randy RPS, categorizing it as creepy as well. But I've come to think of it as another fictional pairing of sorts and now consider it a valuable addition to my fanfic reading pool. :)

Did you actually find that somewhere!?!?!

That needs to be on the Summary Executions List!!!!

*dies laughing*

Oh, btw, we weren't bashing, just discussing the RPS and Mary Sue. There are a lot of things in this fandom that don't apply to others, as I'm sure you know. RPS is around, it's just that it's usually Randy and Gale, not Gale and girlfriend. And Mary Sue...well, in any fandom it's bad, in this one it's worse, mostly because our canon characters are gay. Having them be with a woman that isn't Daphne (S1 only) or Lindsay (pre-series only) is like, unholy. I take it you've been around awhile and prolly know this. People that are new to fandom, they don't know that certain types of fics are either hard to find or aren't spoken of.

Okay, and TOTALLY off topic...I want one of those cute boxy sparkly icon thingies like you have. Cause it's shiny. I like shiny.
