My favourite FanFiction story is also a little bit slashy, namely AC's 'The Folly of Starlight'. Granted, some bits are rather explicit, but AC has put a lot of thought and effort into it.

One of the major plot lines in FOS is an exploration of the idea that Lagolas and Thranduil may have had a Vanyar ancestor. The main pairing is Elrond/Legolas, but also has several mentions of Gil-Galad/Elrond.

I have posted about this fic before and if you really want the link, PM me.......or just take a little trip to LoM.

Something I have discovered in FanFiction is that the people who write slash have to work a whole lot harder to make their writing fit with canon....if done right this usually results in an original and well thought out plot.

Then, of course, you get the ridiculous, like the the aformentioned Legolas/Smaug, or a Balrog/Witch-King, or even a Aragorn/Brego (the horse).

Morgul, currently trying to destroy the A/L pairing for ever. Why won't it dieeeeeeeeee?
