Welcome to Rare Ships, a community for obscure and uncommon ships.
What can you post here? Feel free to share all fanworks (including fanfic, fanart, vids and icons) as well as ship manifestos / pimping post and rec lists focused on rare ships. We are open to het and slash ships as well as moresomes. RPF is allowed as well as ships from any kind of medium, and all ratings are welcome. No fic about original characters, please, as that goes against the spirit of a community for rare ships.
What, exactly, makes a ship rare? For the purpose of this community, every ship that has less than 50 works on AO3 (completed and in English) is considered 'rare'. (I know that's a fairly arbitrary way of measuring rareness. And no one's going to argue if your ship is a couple of fics above the cut-off line. Just don't try to sneak in any juggernaut ships! No, Harry/Hermione and Steve/Bucky are not rare.)
Some further rules:
* You can either post your content directly to the community or link to an outside source (AO3, DW, LJ, Tumblr). If you post it directly, always use a cut. If you post an outside link, make sure that the source is publicly accessible (no linking to access-locked journals).
* Absolutely no bashing or other rude behavior.
* Some formal things: Please always tag the fandom and what kind of content you're posting ([fic], [art], [icons], [promo], [recs]). Don't tag any specific ships, ratings or other information because otherwise the tags will become cluttered.
For fanworks, indicate the fandom and the title (plus the ship, if you wish) in the entry's subject line and use the following header (outside of the cut):
