The only ship that I like is Hammond / Fraiser. I'm not sure how rare it is though.

Did a quick search on AO3 and found exactly 4 stories for Janet/Hammond, and 8 on FF.net, so I'd have say - yeah, it's definitely rare.

[kirsten187]

How did you find them? Apologies for sounding stupid but I'm relatively new at looking through these fanfic websites (although I have once posted one on ff.net but not a Stargate one). I've had a look and can't find them so I am putting that down to me being silly after a day's work!

[Falcon Horus]

Well, quite easy really... Just choose Stargate SG1 among TV-shows on both sites, and then you choose Filter on ff.net, and on AO3 you pick out the tags you want. FF.net will immediately show you how many results you'll get, on AO3 you'll have to hit the search button.

[kirsten187]

Thanks, I will look at that later

[Falcon Horus]

Thanks, I will look at that later

You're welcome.

It also means I'll definitely have to post my Fraiser / Hammond fic on ff.net to compensate for the lack! It still needs some work though.

[Falcon Horus]

Mmm... and then one day you think about reading your favorite pairing and all the search does, is show you your own fic.

[kirsten187]

Indeed. That would be sad if that happened.

Or, it goes a little like this ... "Hey, that title looks familiar... - Oh wait, I wrote that."

True, I've done that before, sadly enough! I've only ever posted one thing on ff.net (not a Stargate one). I'd forgotten I'd done it and was looking for something to read. Didn't notice that it was my name next to it or anything but clicked on it to read it. It took a couple of sentences to realise that it was mine. DOH!

[Falcon Horus]

Yes, the joys of shipping rare pairings... I know all about it.

[kirsten187]

Glad I'm not the only one! Fraiser / Hammond is very rare, I'm discovering.

[Falcon Horus]

My favorite pairing isn't as rare as yours though, so you're in an even worse position. Sorry!
