VARIETY

Is indeed the true SPICE of life. And our hobbit_smut authors are giving you PLENTY of variety with this challenge. Stories for the hobbit_smut "I'm Doing WHO?!" Challenge continue to be posted.

May we suggest that since our authors are really "writing outside the box" here, our readers might stretch themselves a bit as well and sample some pairings or genres they might not normally read? The authors have had fun with this challenge, and we think you can too! You never know until you dip your toes in!

The constraints the authors were operating under:

Write a story focusing on a "rare pairing/piling". And include the phrase "Well -- that's rare!"

DEFINITION: Rare pairing/piling: NOT Frodo/Sam, Merry/Pippin, or Frodo/Merry/Pippin. Some examples of rare pairings/pilings: Marigold Gamgee/Merry, Pippin/Nibs Cotton, Bilbo/Lobelia, Lotho/Fatty, Pippin/Sam, Sam/Merry/Pippin, Frodo/OMC, Pippin/OFC, Sam/Bill (ah, but WHICH Bill?) etc. MEANS etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

To make it easier for you to find these rare tales, the links to the "I'm Doing WHO?!" Challenge stories posted so far are listed below in the order posted. If you do pick and click, please do be sure to let the authors know if you enjoyed their work.
