While I was searching for fics in the FMA(Fullmetal Alchemist) section the other day, I ran across one story that had "Envyxshopping cartxpikkachu" How is that even physically possible XP

See, my worry is not everyone being familiar with the fandom. "Er, this is a really weird pairing where I come from. Take my word for it." Yes. If we had a challenge on crack/weird pairings the sort of enormity of the pairings would be lost on anyone not familiar with the fandom, and if we had a challenge, the challenge would be to write that pairing well - like that disturbing Snape/Giant Squid fic I found a while ago, and you'd only know if the pairing was written well if you knew the fandom, and not everyone knows every fandom...

Sorry about the Game debacle. Should have taken that into account: not everybody would have understood the Saladin/Gibreel pairing from possible The Satanic Verses fan fiction, for example. I apologise if I have invoked a terrible curse on this forum by angering the Mod Gods.

You know from what i remember it might be posable to do a magneto Anne Frank pairing and get away with it. I mean he would have been about a year younger than her or so....

Yeah...That would be the downside from it. Seriously, I'd seen some pairings that I don't even know what fandom they were from or ask myself, who's this or that character. I don't even know if it was crack. If a contest like this happens, it have to be held in a certain fandom; Not one contest for all fandom. That will be too confusing.

how about the x-over category

If a contest like this happens, it have to be held in a certain fandom; Not one contest for all fandom. That will be too confusing. Yep. Actually, if anyone would like to challenge anyone else to write a story on crack pairings in their fandom here, that's fine with me - it just wouldn't be an 'official' WA challenge (i.e. the winner wouldn't get their story on the C2) because limiting it to a fandom would limit the participants. But I'm sure you guys would have fun with it anyway, and anything that gets you to write is good, isn't it? (And btw - the category would then be 'Game' ;p)

I have some ideas. anyone want any note: I see some characters don't work when submitted

I was recently scrolling down one random and boring fiction, on another site, not even reading it, catching barely few words from every paragraph and I was like 'oh yeah, Harry is turned into a ferret, Draco is turned into a ferret, Gryffindors and Slytherins are plotting somethin...how interesting xP' then I scrolled nearly completely down and then I realized I'm in the middle of regular, PWP, Harry/Draco, FERRET slash...(or maybe it was Draco/Harry, I wasn't particulary interested in checking it...) I think I'm scarred for life

Harry/Draco... ferret slash?!?!? Scarred for life fics: Winky/Nagini and Percy/Aragog. And Draco/Grawp. Help.

Having finally poked my head out of the X-Men: The Movie category for a minute, I've discovered that people have serious problems. What is it about grown men and underage girls that everyone feels the need to put them together every chance they get? For example: Firefly: River/anyone that isn't Simon. I understand that she's alone and in the midst of puberty and all that rot, but that doesn't mean she's gonna look at Jayne/Mal/Wash/Book and decide she needs to a piece of that. ESPECIALLY Jayne, since he tried to turn her into the Alliance for the bounty in the first place. And I can't see Jayne willingly going off with someone who can kill him without breaking a sweat. Heroes: Peter/Claire. BESIDES being the classic older man/teenage girl pairing, HE'S HER UNCLE! So we get a little incest tossed in there for flavor, hm? ::SHUDDER:: I'm afraid to look anywhere else.

No kidding. That's just icky. The thing is, I couldn't see River with anyone. She was too lost in her own mind to be looking for romance. At least, it always seemed that way to me. Heroes: Peter/Claire. BESIDES being the classic older man/teenage girl pairing, HE'S HER UNCLE! So we get a little incest tossed in there for flavor, hm? ::SHUDDER:: It's bad enough that she's only 16 or so on the show and Peter has to be in his 20's,but once it came out that she was his niece, it was just too gross to even contemplate. Guys go to prison for those kinds of relationships! P.S. if anyone knows how to get the quote to stop at the actual end of the quote, please enlighten me! These new features are giving me headaches.

You copy/paste the part you want to quote, enter your response to the quote, then go back and highlight (select) the quoted part and select "quote" from the pull-down box. ;) Also, I can't agree with you more about River's state of mind. I'm sure the last thing on her fractured mind is "becoming a woman". And that's without even getting into the moral implications of the whole thing.

Having finally poked my head out of the X-Men: The Movie category for a minute, I've discovered that people have serious problems. What is it about grown men and underage girls that everyone feels the need to put them together every chance they get? I think what it mostly is, is that an awful lot of fanfiction is written by underage girls. But the characters they fantasise about aren't underage boys (scrawny, pimply and sweaty) they're men who are physically mature. So they're writing standard self-insert fantasies. Generally ones in which, while the male character is allegedly adult, he's written pretty much with the character of a teenage girl. At least, it's been my experience that the adult fanfic authors I know largely don't write pairings which the ages involved would make illegal. And if they do, it's because they're writing a story where the issues are specifically explored, not one where a normal grown man actually considers a romantic relationship with a child.

Or it's for comedic effect... I've seen statutory pairings done solely to show that the girl in love is a nutjob, and the guy hates her. There's a rather popular Family Guy pairing like that, but I'm not remembering what two people were involved. I want to say one was Meg.
|
|||
Didn't canon Family Guy already do Meg/Mayor West?
|
|||
Yes, they did, but this pairing was something different... I almost want to say Meg/Quagmire, but I'm getting the feeling that isn't right. In other odd pairing news: Uncle Rico/Deb in Napoleon Dynamite. What are these people THINKING...?
|
|||
no I don't remember seeing meg in it....any how does anyone have anyother paring are we done with strange fanficts.
|

*laughs at all the ridiculous pairings* Seriously guys, I don't think that I can pick out any more pairings as disturbing as those. But I'll take a stab at it. Samus x Ridley (Metroid) Probably the most loathed pairing in the Metroid fandom, mainly because its so highly improbable. Reason? Ridley killed Samus's MOM. K-I-L-L-E-D. Plus, there's just something about a hot human female getting steamy with a space dragon thing that's just so...wrong. Samus x Rundas (Metroid) I'm not against this one; I just think it's really strange. Girl on alien action! It's like Mass Effect all over again, only the lucky human getting screwed is a woman! Yee-haw! Oh, and did I mention that Rundas can summon up ice? That could be really kinky in bed. :o (Is suddenly tempted to write Samus x Rundas) Sheena x Zelos (Tales of Symphonia) I used to hate this pairing, but after reading a certain fic that's in my faves, I don't really care too much anymore. I still think it's highly improbable pairing, because frankly Sheena would kick Zelos's sorry @$$ before she even had a chance walk down the aisle in a white dress. :)

Hot alien on girl action? Sounds too much like a fanboy's wet dream, I'm sorry... And no, Ripdos, there are SO MANY craptastic pairings out there that this thread will stay alive for a long time. I haven't even breached the horror that is Shaman King's Pilika/Ren. THEY DON'T EVEN TALK TO EACH OTHER!! HOW THE HELL WOULD THEY MAKE BABIES?!

I haven't even breached the horror that is Shaman King's Pilika/Ren. THEY DON'T EVEN TALK TO EACH OTHER!! HOW THE HELL WOULD THEY MAKE BABIES?! Yup, it is. I just read a Samus x Rundas fanfiction that was hardcore erotica. I'm serious. The guy spared no expense and left little to the imagination. A little short though, almost like a drabble. :P That pairing DOES sound horrible. It's sort of like what I was saying about Sheena and Zelos. Sheena doesn't want to have to do anything with Zelos at all, much less talk to him (although when they DO talk, it's hilarious).

I hope nobody ever writes Phoenix Wright/Mia Fey projected with Maya's powers fan fiction. That would be wrong on so many levels. For starters Mia is dead, and secondly Phoenix would technically be slashed with Maya. P.S.: Yes, I'm back, but not in Black.

Teehee, I swear most anima fans (well, now that I think about it, most writers in general) are at least bi. Or at leats bi-curious. And as for that Bible category... now I wanna check it out. I never noticed it. :P I've heard of some couplings where the two haven't officially met, like Tess/Edgar Vargas in Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. (I love that coupling myself) I KNOW I've heard of much weirder, but I can't think of any weeeeeeird couplings at the moment... I'll have to come back. *runs off*
|
|||
Beware of the Bible category. I've heard of David/Saul pairings in there... *shudder*
|
|||
I personally have written a crossover between Waldo (of Where's Waldo fame) and Carmen Sandiego (of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego). I think it may be the weirdest pairing I've heard of. I've also written a Feanor/Manwe (from Tolkien's Silmarillion) fic that will never see the light of day, but that's more geektastic than truly weird.
|
|||
I think it may be the weirdest pairing I've heard of. Nah, at least they both are being looked for, and all that. It at least mildly makes sense. Random anime character/Anne Frank really freaked me out...
|
|||
I may have said this before but I saw a fic that scared me for life with the Invader Zim pairing of Dib and Professor Membrane @_@ I wish I never read it at all. and pairings like Dib and GIR are messed up too.
|
|||
Neh... Dib and Professor Membrane isn't that weird for me. I've seen many gay, in-family couplings. Such as Inuyasha/Sesshomaru (extremely popular), Light/Soichiro, Fred/George....
|
|||
Filch/his cat... note: read the pairings carefully before reading a story...
|
|||
Filch/his cat... note: read the pairings carefully before reading a story... Lol. Filch REALLY likes Mrs. Norris it seems. Anyway, I just thought up of another ridiculous pairing. Haven't seen it written, but it probably exists somewhere. Solidus Snake x Vamp (Metal Gear) This might acutally happen. Solidus and Vamp were in the Harrier together, and Vamp IS bisexual. But it would still be creepy, as Solidus looks like an old man and Vamp looks, well, young. :P
|
|||
Light and Ryuk from Death Note. That is messed up. I mean I just can't see it and given Light's personality to begin with........
|
|||
Sadly, I have grown tolerant of any Death Note pairing, mostly because the show sucks SO BAD that the fanfic is like a gift from God. (Hehe.) But I just realized - Ren/basically anyone from Shaman King. ?! There are so many screwed up Shaman King pairings; basically anything with Ren is a crapshoot because Ren HATES PEOPLE. I mean, Ren/Horohoro has a justification of those two risked their lives for each other, etc., but Ren/Yoh? Ren/Anna? REN/PILIKA?! What the hell?!
|

Skimming through this thread for amusement, I think the Orthanc/Barad-dûr pairing wins for originality and oddness. The weirdest crack I've ever seen was Gir/Invader Zim. Except I didn't read it, because I was afraid to. Biblical slash, in general, puzzles me, mostly because I can't imagine having enough to go on as far as characterization to make it fun. But I suppose there's the "this is so terribly wrong!" factor which gives some people a buzz and explains a lot of crack. I tend to lurk in FFX, where I've seen an infamous Auron/Marlboro crackfic magnificently written and perfectly executed for the sake of making our brains implode. There is also a badly-written Moogle/Lulu scene that I wish I could excise from my skull, along with an awful lot of Auron/Rikku fic. The latter is not that bizarre, at least in the context of fandom-kink which so often seems bound and determined to play with taboos, I just find it bizarre that it's the most popular pairing in the fandom. If you don't know FFX, imagine stopping by the Potterverse to discover that Hermione/Snape is by far the most popular pairing, and all other pairings are scorned as deviations from the OTP.
