Gentle Readers:
I have a confession to make.
You know me as a Rugbytackler, with an unfortunate lust for Mr. Bloom.
Little did you know.
I came to slash through Sam and Frodo. They are probably my ultimate OTP. The only place I actively seek het, too. R/S/F can really get me going.
After that, my tie for favorite "pairing" is EW/BB/DM and SB/VM/OB (perhaps with a side of EW).
I am very hobbit friendly, and am basically a slut for both EW and SB. I'll try anything, if one of them is involved.
EW/OB is my favorite light and fluffy. OMG! If you need recs, let me know.
OB/SB is my fav for uber angst, though it can be overdone.
Urgh. There is so much VM/OB out there, probably two-thirds of it total crap, I think because for some reason it is the favorite pairing of 14-year-old girls, but when done well, it cooks.
My author self seems to be completely OK with polyandry. I really hate to leave anyone out, and I like my angst light, with a happy ending, which means that my stories need very large beds.
Hmmm. Anything else I should confess, while I'm at it?
I have a huge, huge, gigantic yoga kink. But you probably know that already. My personal porno collection includes
MTV Power Yoga and
Mr. John Scott's
Ashtanga Yoga, which includes
instructions for a full Wheel from standing, which we can safely say is my ultimate personal yoga goal.
Why am I confessing all of this to you now?
Because Arena is backstory for something that started out hobbit. Please do not be alarmed. SB/VM is the foundation of this story, as you can tell from the length of the "backstory." Plus, I still am not sure that the hobbit!slash will every be fit for public consumption. So it may never bubble out of my brain's id.
Anyway, I hope you are not too frightened. It will be OK. Really. It will!
With kind regards and best wishes, I remain
Your devoted servant,
CK
