Those are my top three OT3s. Would that be an OT9? Well, there's only seven people. OT7? Arughh, numbers.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Some get around more than others! They have full dance cards. :D

(I know Jack Harkness is very busy in my mental threesome landscape. LOL.)

[firefly-124.livejournal.com]

I chose "whatever," though most of the triads I've read have been M/F/M. There wasn't room for Jack/Ianto/Lisa, which is another fave, along with Doctor/Rose/Jack and Snape/Hermione/Lupin, which I did put. I keep trying to get someone to write Snape/Hermione/Luna, but as I've no inspiration there either, I can hardly complain that nobody else writes it. Have also read the odd Drapery (Draco/Snape/Harry) or Jack/Ianto/Doctor. I can barely find F/F, never mind F/F/F though.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Drapery! What a brilliant name. :D

F/F/F has got to be tough to find. I can only really think of The Devil Wears Prada for enough female main characters who really know each other well enough...

Gosh, I don't know if I've ever seen F/F/F fanfic, to be honest.

I wish I had a link to this Jack/Rose/Nine I really loved. If it rings a bell, please let me know. They are in the Tardis. Nine is mostly just observing Rose/Jack, but they do end up leaning against him or sitting on his lap. It was probably posted a year and a half ago or more. It was one of the first Doctor NC-17 I ever read.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Oh, you should ask at the comm for that threesome! I bet someone will remember.

That sounds familiar, but I read a lot of Doctor/Rose/Jack and can't remember them all.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

i'm all about eleven/amy/rory right now, but more in a 'running from things/having fun times' way, rather than a sexytiems way

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I NEED AN ICON OF THEM. I missed one, oops!

I have a hard time imagining them all sexing. But I might write it for the porn battle. Yep. Actually, I will!

[wiredblowfish.livejournal.com]

Love your Mike/Tracy/CK Dexter icon:)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

\O/

[rm.livejournal.com]

Angel/Cordelia/Wesley
Severus/Lucius/Narcissa
Jack/Ianto/Gwen
Athur/Lancelot/Guin (from that AWFUL King Arthur movie with Clive Owen)
Jack/Will/Elizabeth

[shane-mayhem.livejournal.com]

YES. I second Arthur/Lancelot/Gwen, but from history and legend, not from the awful movie. ;)

I've written M/M/M Threesomes for challenges, but they were all in the Buffy!Verse. Strangly they all also won awards.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

People love a threesome! I usually like one of the characters to be the opposite sex to the other two, so I can read both het and slash in one story. Heh. :D

[nancybrown.livejournal.com]

Looking back, a lot of my OTPs were bordering on OT3s, depending on circumstance. Frex, if I were in Trek fandom now, I'd be one of the kids writing nu!TNG 'verse, Picard/Beverly Crusher/Jack Crusher all the damn time. The first M/M story I ever wrote was actually M/M/F, and that was for yet another children's cartoon. I don't have any F/F/F OT3s, but now that you've brought it up, I'm already going over permutations in my head with my various F/F 'ships. :D

In TW, I've got my favorite triads (guess) and my "Meh, I'll read it if the porn is good" threesomes. Threesome porn is kind of like pizza: even when it's not exactly the toppings you wanted *ahem*, it's pizza. *shrug*

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot Jack/Lisa/Ianto, which is awesome.

AGREED. MMM. PIZZA!

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

HAHA I should answer this. That third poll field is so short, sorry!

Jack/Ianto/Gwen
Jack/Ianto/Tosh
Jack/Hart/anyone (Ianto, Gwen, Tosh... I really don't care.)

(I sense a theme)

Jack/Doctor/Rose
Peter/El/Neal (White Collar)
Harry/Hermione/Ron
Angel/Spike/Buffy (but not a sex threesome. More of a romantic triangle.)

There are probably more...

[witchway.livejournal.com]

Jack/Hart/anyone (Ianto, Gwen, Tosh... I really don't care.)


OH YEAH that one works for me. I suspect Jack/John are 3way glue, too.

Angel/Spike/Buffy have a lovely picture of the three of them in the Season 8 comic......

[thrace-adams.livejournal.com]

Damn, I clicked submit before I listed my OT3...jack/Ianto/tosh

[dremiel.livejournal.com]

Also:
Jack/Ianto/Tosh
Peter/Neal/El

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

Jack/Ianto/Tosh (errrrr, Jack/Ianto/Whoever sometimes)
Angel/Buffy/Spike
Doctor/Donna/Martha (any fic of that?)

[ebineez01.livejournal.com]

hmm, pretty much most things with Jack in them

but Jack/John Hart/Gwen I think the most.

then maybe Jack/Doctor/anyone

I just posted a Jack/John Hart/tentacle a few days ago that I thought was pretty good :D

[ebineez01.livejournal.com]

oh & I read a Jack/Gwen/Rhys a while back that I liked quite a bit as well
& then there's Jack/Master/other Ten
& I think John Hart/Master/Jack would be quite good too. hmmmmm

[fanarts-series.livejournal.com]

i love the Mcshep/Dex as a threesome in sga, i love too :
- John/Jack/Ianto (torchwood)
- Arthur/Merlin/Uther (Merlin)
- Angel/Spike/Xander (Buffy)
- The Winchester/Castiel (Supernatural)

[witchway.livejournal.com]

- Angel/Spike/Xander

My first suggestion was Angle/Spike/Anyone, then I hit the button and realized, No, I REALLY meant was A/S/X.

With A and S both putting the moves on a very confused and mildly panicing S. Oh yes, that one kind of writes itself....

[elainasaunt.livejournal.com]

I didn't have room to put Jack/Doctor/Rose or Jack/Ianto/Tosh (actually, Jack/Ianto/practically anyone). I'm divided on whether I prefer Jack/Ten/Rose or Jack/Nine/Rose - slightly the latter, I guess. I also didn't have room for Mal/Simon/Inara, which I've never seen in fic but which I'd offer my firstborn for if I weren't already so far past the menopause.

[lookninjas.livejournal.com]

Mal/Simon/Inara

Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

[such_heights]

I love me a good OT3! Also OT4 (Merlin/Arthur/Gwen/Morgana), etc. It is the solution to all shipping woes!

And while the common OT3 configuration is M/F/M, I do long for more ladies! I wish there was more companion!femslash, for instance. Rose/Martha/Donna would be awesome, yes?

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Ah, niceOT4~!

When I typed F/F/F I was thinking of those companions, actually. Surely some has to exist?

[neifile7.livejournal.com]

I love me some three-way dynamics, ALWAYS, and a really good fic is sometimes all it takes to make a favorite threesome. Doesn't even have to have sexytiems -- just great chemistry.

Strictly speaking? I think that Peter/El/Neal is my only OT3, in the sense that it's the only fic I'm really interested in reading for WC, and probably the biggest reason I follow the fandom at all.

Whoniverse, more or less in order of preference (this comes almost entirely from the great fic I've read -- less from the show):
Jack/Nine/Rose
Jack/Ianto/Lisa
Jack/Ianto/Gwen
Gwen/Rhys/Ianto (yeah, guess where that one came from)
Jack/Ianto/Owen
Ten/Rose/Sarah Jane (looking for GOOD recs)
Ten/Donna/Martha

And I'd really like to see more Ianto/Gwen/Tosh (I wrote one but don't know any others). John Hart makes any threesome down and dirtier, but he's not what you'd call OT3 material. :)

Others:
Peter/Harriet/Bunter
Harry/Hermione/Ron
Nicholas/Robin/Kathi (from Dorothy Dunnett's House of Niccolò series)

Best stop there, or I'll be here all day. :)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I think you have written the ONLY Ianto/Gwen/Tosh. PIONEER!

Ten/Rose/Sarah Jane... INTERESTING!

Oh good, another Harry/Hermione/Ron person. :D I think amand_r might have some recs...

[lookninjas.livejournal.com]

I tend to not have really hardcore "THIS IS MY OT3" OT3s (I'm pretty mellow as a shipper), but I do enjoy reading everyone else's. Especially Torchwood, which works in pretty much every combination of two or three or four (at least in a smutty way, maybe not so much in a LOVE and ROMANCE way.)

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Agree on both points, actually. :)

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I said 'three's a crowd' but Mander's Gold Dust totally had me at hello, so there are exceptions. Her Lisa though is so brilliant, I am not sure I would want to see anyone else do Ianto/Jack/Lisa but her. LOL.

That being said, I am open if someone tells me about a brilliant fic w/three. Never say never, right?

m/m/m or m/m/f, does it matter?

[witchway.livejournal.com]

Oi! How could I forget: Lex/Clark/Anyone (Smallville.)

For me, though, 3somes would always be about 2 ganging up on one, while only mildly interested in each other. Something like Angel/Spike seducing Xander, working well as a team (St Petersburg? I thought you'd forgotten) but much more interested in the 3rd party, having all ready lost interest in each other. (Because, if they were still interested in each other, they'd be doing each other, see?)

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

I am an out and out multi-shipper but if I had to pick one combination as my only OT3 it would be Methos/Jack/Ianto hands down. Not even Nine/Jack/Rose can compete with those 3 together - or not in my mind at least.

Other combinations I love are...

Doctor/Jack/TARDIS

Mitchell/George/Annie (Being Human)

Paris/Kim/Torres (ST: Voyager - I always felt the 3 of them would have been better together this one is probably my very first OT3)

Highlander:

Methos/Duncan/Amanda
Methos/Rebecca/Amanda
Methos/Richie/Amanda
Methos/Kronos/Caspian/Silas (does an OT4 count?)

Torchwood:

Jack/Ianto/Andy
Jack/Ianto/Gwen
Jack/Ianto/Tosh
Jack/Ianto/Owen
Jack/Ianto/Rhys
Jack/Ianto/Martha
Jack/Ianto/Mickey
(are you sensing a theme here? *g*)
Gwen/Tosh/Martha
Ianto/Gwen/Tosh
Rhys/Andy/Gwen

[robling-t.livejournal.com]

Most of my OT3's sneak up on me as I write... or at least that's my explanation for where Owen/Andy/Tosh came from and I'm sticking to it... :)

[citrinesunset.livejournal.com]

I don't really read/write that much threesome stuff, really, but I'm totally up for it if I like the pairing or characters involved. I've been kind of interested in Jack/Gwen/Ianto. I think that can be such a cool dynamic to play with.

I put "Whatever" (and the tentacle answer, too), because the genders of the characters involved aren't that big a deal to me. However, I do kind of like M/M/F and F/F/M. I just think, personally, that part of the fun of a threesome is that you can mix and match, if you will.

[hab318princess.livejournal.com]

I like the idea of Jack/Ianto/John... but tentacles is always good too :D
