The RPF fandom's primary ship is Steven Tyler/Joe Perry. Self-inserts are also common: for example, the 2000 anthology Starf*cker includes "fantasy encounters" with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.[2]

As of 2007, there were around 40 Aerosmith stories cumulatively on Quizilla, FicWad, and RockFic.[3] Six Steven Tyler/Joe Perry stories were written for xmas_rocks from 2007 to 2009.

There were nine Aerosmith stories on Archive of Our Own as of 2019, and 35 stories as of 2024.
