One of these reasons is that Anakin is smack in the middle of a major romance (more specifically, a major heterosexual romance.  Not sure how much that matters, but accuracy and all).  No matter how badly that romance is handled (and it’s handled pretty darned badly), we can’t deny that it’s there, and as long as Anakin is professing (badly) that Padme is the center of his universe, it’s a bit harder to throw him into bed with someone else.  Now, you could point out that this hasn’t stopped LOTR writers from slashing Aragorn with 2/3 of the Fellowship, but I would point out that the courtship there is in the past (or in the books, in a glorified footnote), and is a fairly minor part of the story. 

The second apparent answer, and perhaps the reason for the lack of such stories, is the lack of any “vibe” between Obi-Wan and Anakin.

Which brings us to the most often-cited reason: Anakin’s lack of appeal.
