Are you looking for completed stories or is a WIP okay?

WIP's are fine as well - just remember to stay within the limits (as we will not index stories that violate the TOS) and that a story doesn't nessisarily have to revolve around the OC's to be indexed.
That means Han, Luke et all can (and ofter are) featured in a story too.

For those of us who haven't been following the Awards (or not following all the eras) it may interest you to know that this year a story dealing with a same-sex relationship took home the Before the Saga award for Best Romance.
The story in question was Spindrift kindly indexed in this thread back in May.
It strikes me as something of a milestone that, under the current TOS, the fanfiction community can publicly recognise, in our own small way, a same-sex romance as exactly that. Here's to many more.

I have been reading this topic a little... glad to know it exists.
1) Tell us about a story you've read that features an SSR, and why you liked it.
In canon... I really haven't yet, since my reading time has dropped a lot lately. But I'd like to read some to see how it's written.
2) Were you orginally 'squicked out' by the very idea of a SSR in fan fic? What changed your mind?
I've never really had a problem with it, honestly- throughout my life I've never seen SSR as different or weird. In some fandoms it seems to fit better than others- both slash and OC, it depends on the fandom. In some, it makes perfect sense, and in others it just doesn't feel right.
I would like to write for a future SSR challenge, since I need to get back into writing and I'd love to try it. I have a hard time with any kind of romance, SSR or not, since my love life isn't working at all... (bad excuse). Some of the SSR that I have stored away here and there, I'd like to revisit. Writing SSR seems normal to me since I'm bi and I want to write about the kinds of relationships I want, but getting it going without PWP, violating the TOS, or becoming my own worst critic is the tough part.

One would think this place would have more activity.
As is, have thought to throw my own two bits in, as a slash writer outside boards, or as you will it, an SSR writer.
1) Tell us about a story you've read that features an SSR, and why you liked it.
My favorite will always be the one that got me into it. It wasn't SW, but rather a Final Fantasy fic. The characters were intense, being two former, insane villians, and the situation they were trapped in, namely a prison after death, led to some intresting story telling. What I always adored about it was how the writer made it all so natural and so flowing. A real heart stopper in truth.
2) Were you orginally 'squicked out' by the very idea of a SSR in fan fic? What changed your mind?
Actually yes. Orginally I couldn't stand it, hated the thought and avoided it all like the plague. But then I stumbled on that story, and it turned me around somehow. My thoughts changed from one side of the issue to the other, that it can be really beautiful stuff if done right, just like any other work of art.
On the side note, have nothing of mine to offer, sadly. Maybe on a later date. On the issue of 'labling' perhaps it's not because of that as there are those that do not want focus paid to a tiny part of a very large and complex fic. Just a thought.

Anyone is openly invited to come up with a challenge, or submit a story at anytime - I DO ask that you PM myself or Moosemouse and not only the sock, as I don't logg into it regularly.
thanks!

 Where have I been? How could I hve missed this thread?  EEP!
I’d like to jump in as a proud slash/SSR writer outside of boards and someone who would like to try to write SSR on the boards within, of course, the bounds of the TOS. (I do have respect for the rules (:p)
1) Tell us about a story you've read that features an SSR, and why you liked it.
This is a lot like the “why do like slash?” question. I don’t have a particular favorite slash fic though I do have a handful of wonderful fics that I love to death by an amazing writer under the penname of XtinePirate on ff.net (I’ll link anyone who wants to be linked by PM). On the boards I absolutely love Spindrift by JediNemesis.
I like an SSR fic for the same reasons I like any other fic – characterization, plot-line, diction, etc.
2) Were you orginally 'squicked out' by the very idea of a SSR in fan fic? What changed your mind?
I never had a big problem with it. I just saw it is any other fic that featured a couple that I didn’t like or care about. I was 14 a at the time and had little experience with “gay stuff.” It wasn’t like “eww gross how can you people write this” it was kind of like “eh, I don’t see them together.” I think the problem was that the fics that I ran into made me feel kind of uncomfortable because they stressed, in explicit detail, the intimate aspect of the relationship (and I was never a huge fan of PWPs, whether gay or straight). Then I ran into this amazing Obi/Ani fic written by the author written above and she just made the paring click for me. I thin I’ve matured a LOT in the past few years and that made its mark too. Slash is something I revel in now, as long as I’m enjoying the story and liking the couple (No diff from any other fic).
On another topic, can someone enlighten me a little here, please? The TOS have me a little confused…. How far is too far for an SSR on these boards? Specifically:
Are “I love you”s ok?
Is an inner monologue of a male character admitting to having feelings for another male character ok?
Is holding hands ok?
Casual kisses?

Ahhhh, there in lies the rub - alluded to is the catch phrase here, and thus we walk the fine line between "don't ask don't tell" and "We're here, we're 'different' get used to it!". I'm not being deliberately obtuse here, but we are walking that fine line which is a mile wide. Best bet is, if in doubt, drop ME a PM at my regular user name, and I'll have to nosey through it.

Excellent reply, as I think allusions can make a story all the more entertaining/readable. But boy, that line is fine and I'm at a loss at how to make a lime out of a lemon kind of story. 'All a dream'? The old 'oh, this planet is so cold so let's share body heat  ' type? I'd love to try one, but the old brain is not working on all metaphors here.

First person works really well for allusion. This fic could be either an SSR fic or could be a 'het' fic, it's all up to how the read interprets it as it's not said or hinted at either way.

 Thanks for the link and I liked your setup with few words; it was an iconic scene. OCs mean, I guess, completely original and not anyone from the Dark Horse comics? Have been thinking of Dass Jennir, lately, since Dark Times hiatus'd.
