Stories in which Orcs are the main characters or play a significant role, selected because I think they are of good quality or special interest. This community does not discriminate on the basis of sexuality: none of that "no slash" "nonslash" "slash-free" malarkey. Orcs are M-ish creatures, so "Fiction Rating: All" is recommended.

Weird Summoning by Zoop reviews
Girl drops into ME... whoops, scratch that. If you thought it sucked for a modern gal to get thrown into Middle Earth, it's no comparison to the suckage a Middle Earth Uruk summoned into *our* world experiences. Rated for the audacity of plopping an Uruk into a sci-fi convention.

Dreaming of You by Zoop reviews
Tanith Walker knows the Lord of the Rings movies by heart, but the real deal is a lot different. Aragorn isn't as hot as she expected, and the only hunk of tasty male flesh she's seeing naked belongs to an Orc. Good thing *that* isn't real... or is it? Cover art by Amy Rowell.
