Because the void really is ridiculously empty. I don't get why people aren't writing about these boys!

TELL ME ABOUT IT. I've left about thirty prompts in the kink meme, and only three or four of them are NOT for Finn/Puck. (Seriously, if you pick a prompt from the meme for Finn/Puck, there's probably about a 50/50 chance it's one of mine) It's enough that I filled one of them a while back and am now kicking around a sequel idea. My biggest problem, though, is that I can't write smut. If I could, I'd be filling the rest of my prompts too. *disgusted sigh* Almost every fandom I'm in, I fall for the underdog pairings, not the popular ones. Makes it almost impossible to find anything.

I think why the pairing doesn't get the love it deserves is because people are so tied into the whole Kurt/Puck thing. And... I just don't see it. Okay, there's the 'Puck picks on Kurt because he's secretly attracted to him' idea, but... Honestly, I just can NOT see Puck and Kurt in a lasting relationship. Finn/Puck, though? Totally. And not just because I'm biased by it being my OTP.

That bodyswap fic will be awesome - I can't wait.

I went looking for Finn/Puck prompts to write the other day, and it was disappointing how many of them aren't filled! I actually got excited when I came across one that was, until I realised that I'd filled it anonymously! LOL

There are so many brilliant prompts there, and I just hope people pick up some ideas! It's exciting that you're writing them- you should definitely write whatever idea you're kicking around and then post it somewhere where I can find it because damn, I would give my left arm for new fic to read!

It's weird, because normally I end up shipping, if not the most popular pairing, then one that is really popular anyways. when I saw the first ep of Glee (a couple of months back, I'm super late to the show) I immediately shipped Finn and Puck and expected to discover a wealth of fic when I got into the fandom. I still think it's weird that there's not, because other fandom's I've been in? That sort of relationship/situation would generate all of the angsty fic in the world.

I don't like to speak ill of other people's otps but yeah, I personally can't see Kurt/Puck either. I can see Kurt/Finn for sure, although it doesn't really interest me, but I guess the whole 'boys only tease girls they like' old saying really doesn't hold up for me when you reach the realm of dumpster diving and pee balloons. But then that might just be me wishing some of those people would write Finn/Puck too. Hell, I'd take Finn/Puck/Kurt if that's all that's on offer! :D

Oh, thanks, I hope it lives up to expectations! I'm stalled because I find Rachel a challenging character to get right, but it's halfway done, which is at least something!

God, isn't Rachel difficult? I'm writing her in my sequel idea as an antagonist character (because she still wants Finn, even when he's with Puck), and I'm also trying to present her as still having something to her that is sympathetic, that she's not being intentionally malacious, just single-mindedly focused on Finn to the point of being unable to see that he belongs with Puck. And it's DIFFICULT. But when I wrote out her motivations and took it from Point A to B to C, it made sense and it felt (to me) as if, even if you didn't agree with her reasoning, you could understand it.

I do agree with you that the Kurt/Puck interactions we've seen have been more in the realm of out and out hostility and not acting on repressed homosexuality. If it is about repressed homosexuality, it's about Puck lashing out at the guy with the stones to actually be out and proud about it while Puck is too afraid of losing status to be honest about who he is. But there is no, IMO, attraction being acted out here.
