I PM'd my link to "Thursdays With My Father" to Breezy. I'd be honored to have it indexed here along with "Broken Gear".
Great idea!

I wrote a fic called The Perfect Couple ages ago for MMM. 
Edit: I've just reread the rules and I understand the bit about not writing straight character in SSRs, but the bit about gay characters in SSRs has me confused. Does this mean no gay Mando fics with the canon gay Mandos? It's not going against canon and if it wasn't allowed it wouldn't have been in the books, so it must be OK, right?

Alas - in the conveluted rules that we are working within, we can't work with them (yes, I know - it can get confusing.
To preserve the 'letter of the land', we can ONLY have 'Gay' Fan fiction author Original characters.
It's not something I'm fond of (to put it lightly) BUT there was a time where the 'g' word was expressly forbidden in fan fiction. We hope to slowly erode away at the prejudtices (sorry - my IE doesn't have spell check and this is the browesr I use for the sock)by showing that fan fic authors can work within the confines, and do it well!
Not all SSR fics are smut fests!
The two new fics have been indexed!

I'm totally fine with not writing straight characters into SSRs, while Luke/Han might be hot it's just not going to happen, but if they are straight in canon I think we should be able to write about them. I think this thread is a huge step in the right direction, and a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
If anyone wants some help, I'm more than willing to beta fics if people want me to. Uni is nearly over for the summer and I'll have a lot of spare time.

There is now a SSR beta readers list at the beginning of this thread. So if your looking for someone who is willing to beta an SSR story, you can find someone there! Please PM the individual to see if they are available when using the list!

Do we have any more replies to the challange? Was it too difficult? Too easy?
You do know that a story doesn't have to revolve around a character's sexuality to be included in the index don't you?
Well that all being said, I ahve a two part question for you.
1) Tell us about a story you've read that features an SSR, and why you liked it.
2) Were you orginally 'squicked out' by the very idea of a SSR in fan fic? What changed your mind?
I'll reply tommorow under my non sock name.

I've just been too busy to come up with anything at all. I'll do something for the next challenge though.
1. I'm not sure I can think of a specific example right now, but mostly when I write SSRs they have little to do with sex and more to do with the relationship, the way the characters interact with each other.
2. I started writing fanfic before I started reading it, and one of my first fanfics was SSR based. Being bi it just seemed natural to me. I'm not sure about writing SSRs with straight characters though, like Han/Luke, that doesn't seem quite right, but if they're OCs or gay in canon then it's fine.
I have a question. If I finally get around to redoing some fanfic, who could I PM it to to see if it's OK for posting? With the end of the academic year coming up and this thread being here I might just finish it (again).

1) The first SSR fic that I remember really enjoying was "The Broken Gear" by oqidaun (which I'm glad to see is indexed here). I think the reason I liked it so much was because it wasn't about screaming "Hey, look, SSR!" at the reader. It was a story about people - whole, developed people and the relationships between them.
2) I'm not so much squicked out by the concept of SSR in fic as I am just utterly sick of seeing it done badly. And to be honest, I don't find over-the-top pointless sex between hetero couples any easier to take. For me to want to read a story, it has to be a story, not just ridiculous and/or graphic romping in the bedroom between characters, regardless of their gender, species, or sexual persuasion.

PM the sock MM! We'd love to look it over and hopefully be able to index it!
The first SSR fic (that wasn't PWP) that I read and still have marked as a favorite over at Fanfiction.net (under the same handle I use here) is still one of my all time favorites.
Because it violates this boards rules, I can't link it, but the title is "Rewoven" by JediRita - and at first I was 'squicked out' by the pairing (cannon/cannon, Obi/Bail Organa) but then I started reading...
A passage (TOS safe) - Anakin has recently been made Obi-Wan's Padawan, and they are spending some time on Alderaan...
*NOTE There is NOTHING sexual about this passage...*
*****
“Anakin.”
A soft voice, gentle hands, pulling away the blankets that had tangled around his body. “Mom?” he called, whimpering.
A pulse of sadness in the shadows, sympathy, kindness. Not his mother. Someone who was sorry not to be his mother. The hands eased him up, broad palms cupping his thin shoulders. “You were dreaming, Anakin.” Not the cruel voice. Quiet, elegant, sad.
…I promise…I promise I will train you…you will be a Jedi, I promise….
“Obi-Wan?” Anakin looked up at the pale face above him. Not the face he wanted to see, but then he wasn’t the face Obi-Wan wanted to see, either, was he? They were both alone. Alone together.
“You’re all right, Anakin. You were dreaming.” A strong arm against his back, one hand stroking his hair, heavy, firm, comforting. All his uncertainty about Obi-Wan evaporated in the aftermath of the terrible dream, and he reached out to Obi-Wan with the desperation of a child in need of reassurance. He burrowed his face into Obi-Wan’s warm chest, felt the Jedi’s arms wrap around him, holding him the way he had in the meditation yesterday. Some of that peace returned to him now, soothing his fears, calming him.
A long silence. The darkness was not so frightening now. It hid the things he did not want to see.
“Do you remember what you dreamed?” Obi-Wan’s voice was low, and Anakin felt rather than heard the words, echoing in his skull through Obi-Wan’s chest. He shook his head, rubbing his face against Obi-Wan’s nightshirt, smelling the musky scent of sleep on his clothes. The images of the dream faded away as quickly as they had arisen, replaced by the sensations of Obi-Wan, a soft voice, strong hands, a warm scent.
The plea from yesterday’s meditation came back to him. Please let him like me. Had he said it aloud? Or had Obi-Wan? But the silence continued, Obi-Wan rubbing soothing circles on his back, rocking him slightly. No one had said anything. But maybe this was the answer to that prayer, for him or for Obi-Wan he did not know. It didn’t really matter.
…I promise…I will come back for you…I promise….
Sleep crept over Anakin once more as he floated in Obi-Wan’s arms, but then the cocoon split around him. He felt Obi-Wan pulling away, the cold seeping in once more. “No,” he moaned, opening his eyes. “Don’t leave. Stay with me.”
Another silence, hesitant, uncertain.
…oh, please, let him like me…
Then the mattress dipped next to him beneath Obi-Wan’s weight. The covers slid free, settling over them both, and Anakin was gathered once more into Obi-Wan’s arms. He snuggled against the large, comforting body, his fingers curling into the neckline of Obi-Wan’s nightshirt, so that even as he drifted in sleep he would be moored.
“Good night.”
Had he said it? Or had Obi-Wan? It didn’t matter. The dreams would not come again.
That is what mattered.
****
See this? This amazing, beautiful passage would have escaped me if I had allowed my prejudices to dictate what I thought would make a good story.
The rest of the story is handled with equal care, lovingly portrayed characters (even though I found some of the more intimate scenes a bit strong for my taste) and if you are willing to be open to the idea of seeing people through another writers eyes...

My OCs seem all to be boringly straigth so far...  Sorry.

Knights and Eros Bound by my friend DarthBreezy was a story that surprised me very nicely (but I barely knew her by then!). When I reached the climax of it I was all like 'But of course! It's more than logical that Force-sensitives would be aware of those kind of feelings too!'

Not really. What squickes me out are PWPs and farfetched pseudo-relationships between characters.
Can I bend the rules a little? Because while thinking of an answer for this questions I remebered a movie from quite a few years ago that was probably one of my 'first encounters' with SSR stories... It's called Kiss of the Spiderwoman (Brazil/USA, 1985) and it portraits one of the most moving SSR I've ever seen. Has anybody seen it?

1) Tell us about a story you've read that features an SSR, and why you liked it.
I've read tons of SSR fics I've loved and I don't think I could point out just one, but what I look for and like about SSR fics are the same things I like about non-SSR fics: good characters/characterization and a good plot. (Though I will admit I do love love some PWP now and then  )
2) Were you originally 'squicked out' by the very idea of a SSR in fan fic? What changed your mind?
At first I was 'squicked out' at fics that took cannon characters and put them in 'slash' relationships (and I mean slash in the original sense of the term), but then I read a Luke/Wedge story (admittedly by accident) that took place during the rebellion and loved it, so I can even get into that sometimes as long as it makes sense. But as far as SSRs in general, no I've never been squicked by it. It just the same as non-SSR fics, I see them no differently.
Edit: I really enjoyed that passage, Breezy! I'll have to go check that fic out!
