KeymasterHi.
What is your favourite (romantic) pairing in Andromeda? The reason I ask is because I have an erotic FF archive and last night I reviewed the site statistics.
I got a bit of a shock [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]
Despite the fact that I have almost every imaginable pairing represented on AU, the top ten most read stories were [b]all slash[/b] or had a slash/het combination. All but [b]one[/b] of the stories had a Tyr/Harper pairing.
Does everyone out there prefer m/m and f/f romance in sci-fi? The highest rated het fic only came in at number 16 and it’s one of the best written ones in the archive.

GuestI don’t think the most popular pairings are f/f and m/m because of the sc-fi element but rather personal preference, but if i had to pick it’d either be Rommie and Dylan or Beka and Tyr, ok so their a bit bland but im a stickler for the classic combination. Plus theres always ben such great interacting between them and it would be nice to see them get a little lovin’in between the constant attacks and death defying missions.

GuestI’m apparently in the minority, but I don’t generally like slash myself; it doesn’t usually feel ‘right’ to me, unless I think a character seems to be bi or gay or even just open to new ways of thinking. Watching a show and seeing no signs of attraction to the same sex, then reading a fanfic where Rommie and Beka and Trance or Harper and Tyr and Dylan are getting it on is just kind of a weird stretch (although on the latter count, I might like to watch… [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] ). It’s like if Tyr did something totally self-sacrificial, or if Beka was submissive, or if Trance was reminiscing about her past, or if Harper was… well, not interested in a beautiful woman, heheh.
I like a combination of plot, character fidelity (you know, making the characters seem like themselves, however wildly they may evolve over the course of a story… I’ll read anything, no matter how odd it seems, if the author makes the change feel natural. That goes for slash, too) and sex, not just porn with the characters’ names slapped on it. That’s not always easy to find.
I’m also rather fond of outside pairings. I absolutely LOVED that episode with Beka and the Cat; it was so poignant. I’d love to see a fic featuring those two again. I crave new characters in the mix, but I only like them if they’re well drawn and I can relate to them (such as that thief fellow). I know, I know; I sound really picky. I’m not, though–I can enjoy lots of kinds of fic, I just generally don’t spend much time trying to appreciate them unless they suck me in.
Could you point me to that highest-rated het fic? I’d really like to check it out. I haven’t read much Andromeda fic thus far.

GuestThe most popular het fic is ‘Compatible’ by Marianas. It’s a Trance/Harper NC17.
And for Tyr/Trance shippers there is ‘Trance is What?’ and ‘Alterations’ by luvreading. My orgy fic ‘Rev’s Treat’ also has some Tyr/Trance action. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

GuestMust admit that it’s certainly a shock to me too! [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Tyr and Harper!! Wow!
However, there seems to be a serious lack of imagination with most of the fic writers out there. What about the wild opportunity to include some of those amazing robots with breasts in such fic. And amazingly, I haven’t seen any reference to Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum – with names like that!

GuestLOL@SG
Yep, I’ve pointed out the opportunities for kinkyfic using the Mariabots on my update page but no one seems to have taken any notice.
Actually you’ve given me a great idea for a challenge. Do you want the credit/blame for it when I put it up?
And…um…Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee? The mind boggles! What use did you have in mind for [i]them[/i]? [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Hehe. You shouldn’t ask me questions like that 🙂
Personally I think that there is a lot of scope for a Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum romance (and particularly the possible transformer-like opportunities for Tweedle Dum’s groinal attachments). Tweedle Dee could be all coy and shy but get real turned on when she uses her big guns erm…
That sort of thing 😉
I like the idea of a parody on sexy women with big guns [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

GuestWell, you’ve just asked for trouble now, haven’t you? Your suggestion on the ‘bots with boobs is now gracing my challenge page. The Tweedle Dum/Tweedle Dee combo…that requires something [i]special[/i]. I’ll get back to you on that one [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
