I've wondered about this when you rec'ed the LE Bryce stories.

With fanfiction, people usually recommend stories for a particular pairing, so mentioning the pairing in the header is a given. Even with recs within a particular fandom.

I think original fiction is a special case because people don't read it to get their fix for certain characters/pairings but for new, original characters and premises, and to be surprised. The question of who ends up with whom is much more intriguing.

Also, many writers of original fiction don't really give away that much in their story information either (like for published books). Like LE Bryce and Parhelion. Parhelion doesn't even have story summaries, and I so appreciated that when I found the stories because everything was a surprise. All I needed to know was the slash thing.:-)

Ah, I reread the last Hollywood story yesterday, the one set during WWII. So awesome. And the first is too brilliant for words. And I love those little 'easter eggs', if you know what I mean (the 'cameos').;-)
