Re: Random Hockey Thread - Crossovers

AYRT I did, but it was so long ago I'd forgotten about it. I may have to read it again. I vaguely remember it being much more serious than I expected or wanted or something. I'd love to read more bandom+hockey shenanigans of the old 'wacky shit happens on tour' variety we used to get back in the day before the bands started breaking up and everybody started going to rehab and having kids.

I feel like I agree with you but would also like to hear more of your thoughts. This fandom writes a fair bit about pro male athletes as bros, but that's mostly the younger players.

And it doesn't seem to deal with extravagant wealth hardly at all, which I can understand, since I think it'd be harder to make characters sympathetic in that context, and also most of us have no experience of what that'd be like. (See: someone writing Geno renting a Camry.)

I'm not sure what the balance is between acknowledging that these guys are hugely talented, hugely competitive, and all have egos the size of the moon, and keeping them sympathetic as characters. It's a tough line to walk.

I would forever read hockey RPF crossed with other sports. It would be so amazing.

I think she later wrote a sequel where Sid was with Ovechkin and Geno had realised he was actually passionately in love with Sid but it was Too Late and he had to pine alone forever while Ovechkin and Sid lived in a cottage with adopted kids who called him Uncle Geno?

AYRT Was it? I couldn't remember the guy's name. I'm not that familiar with pop music or One Dimension or whoever. I just remember the fic being really funny.

And then someone else wrote a(n authorized) sequel to that that ended with Sid/Geno/Ovi. I didn't really like it, though.

Do you have a link to that, perchance?

ONE DIMENSION. I just laughed out loud, thanks, nonnie :')

I read it in a DW post that has since been flocked, and AO3 is down at the moment, although I'm not sure it ever got posted there. When AO3 comes back I will check.

Dad, what are you doing on meme? Or more accurately, the dad from '10 things I hate about you'?

Words my actual grandmother has said, tho.

a ayrt rt

My objection was less that they weren't "perfect" and more that it was a jarring, misplaced side plot that didn't add anything to the narrative and was never really resolved in a satisfying way. I actually ship the endgame pairing that Sid ended up in! Just not when it's done this annoyingly.

I've never gotten over the fic where Ryan Ross gets fucked by Jeff Carter and Mike Richards. I read it before I knew what hockey was (/s, but I really Didn't Care) and I'm pretty sure it's part of the reason I got into this fandom.

I lol at anything that portrays Minnesota Nice as actually nice. Anyone who has actually lived there knows its actually Minnesota Polite and Passive-Agressive, with a heavy dose of Strong Emotions are only allowed in Private.

Now THAT is a Paul Martin I would read in a heartbeat.

Re: Things You Wouldn't Admit Unanon

[(Anonymous)]

That's how it seems to me, as someone who isn't from there, but it always seems to be presented as Actually Nice in fic.

I would consider paying money for fic about Gerrit Cole hatefucking one or more Caps players (inspired by his... lively... heckling during their series: http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/05/pittsburgh-pirates-penguins-gerrit-cole-hockey-game-rowdy-mlb-nhl ). Would also accept a joyous Pens/Gerrit Cole gangbang.

sa

Actually, I'm going to expand that. I just need way more emotional constipation in this fandom, and I don't mean broning where guys are too busy being bros to notice they're in a gay relationship. I don't even really mean stuff dealing with internalized homophobia. I just have a weakness for guys who don't have feelings because Real Men Don't Do That, but then end up having them anyway in some traumatic fashion.

Ian Cole/Gerrit Cole fic where they're sniping at and chirping each other the whole time would also be acceptable.

Ack. Auto fill.

Re: Game Day Thread May 29, 2016

Also, the Calder Cup game was 2pm Central. I am an inaccurate thread maker.

Heading into the third, they're 3-1 Hershey

The Memorial Cup game is also happening, London Knights vs. Rouyn-Noranda Huskies, 0-0 at the end of the first period. I keep hearing Rouyn-Noranda as Duran Duran and I'm not sure how that works.
