So, me hearties, it is definitely time for someOrc recs .
My own Orc/Pippin is here: The Orc's Tongue
The yahoo Orc slash list is here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OrcSlash?yguid=132500041
The OrcSlash archive is here: So Wrong
Stories I like from the OrcSlash site:
One Dark Night, by Enros - this is simply stunning; got me onto the orc love to begin with. Rewrites Tolkien's not-entirely-thought-through orc psyche from the inside out and is as poignant as fluey peeing.
Old Times by Tyellas is also a lot of fun.
And then there's On Orc Love by Belinda (not on the OrcSlash site) which is just great.
And not to forget The Mirror by Kete, a moving Frodo/orc fic.

My own Wet for Weta icon.
Why do I love orc lust?
Because orcs give you a chance to branch away from romance and fluff into territories not usually charted by slash: into the psychology of evil, into the realms of true cruelty and lovelessness, into plots of war and battle and male-on-male torment. In a funny way, the fantasy-figures of orcs are closer to the real-world reality than our real-person characters. And because crawling into the head of such a character is so challenging and makes writers really *think* about these issues, orc fic can be very poignant and make philosophical and ethical points. And I do like a dose of ethics with my aesthetics. And with my porn.
