OP, I feel you. Intriguing secrets in this community have introduced me to SO MANY THINGS that sometimes I wish I'd never heard of (often because of the exact problems the secret was complaining about in the first place! Doh).

And rarepairs, also, I tend to love and get frustrated with in equal amounts. Luckily for me the two don't overlap too much, because most of the rarepairs mentioned on FS are for live action things, whereas my fandoms are manga/anime, games, and (certain genres of) books (not into Tolkien, alas)...

It's a shame though because while I'm a mediocre writer I do dabble in fanfic from time to time and I often write rare/crack pairs, partly because I love them and partly because I don't want to be writing the same sorts of stuff everyone else is writing, and I like filling niches that nobody else does. And... I think I have seen one or two other people around here express similar sentiment before?

I think we should totally have a regular (weekly?) second-page subthread devoted to rare stuff in fan fic/art you wish you could find more of, pairings or otherwise. I'd offer to take that on myself if I were in a compatible timezone (unfortunately FS updates around midnight for me, and by the time I'm on - this hour of day usually - the daily rush of posts has already died off).

Not OP but as someone who's mainly in manga/anime fandoms and would give an arm and a leg for more activity in the more obscure ones (it sucks that the source material isn't in english because there's that added level of inaccessibility! :x), I would verymuch appreciate a regular rarepair whining/commisserating maybe even creating? thread on F!S. Unfortunately I'm in a bad timezone as well (and constantly moving about to boot, sigh).

Ah, not saying it should be anime/manga oriented (just that those are the mediums with most of my rarepairs), just that there's frustration in there too, heh.
