Make the tail with the poisonous spine a hockey stick instead?

Ignore the super bad 2 second editing job, but this is kinda what I was thinking? http://imgur.com/mD4ov9r

Scorpions are scary AF, too, which probably makes it a good choice.

I really hope those teams cling to their trademarks. I really irrationally but utterly hate the name Knights and especially Black Knights. And apparently they're too picky to go for Silver Knights? So maybe then it'll be something different after all. 🙏

I'm listening to the Kris Letang interview that someone linked last post ( http://dekedangle-rpfanon.dreamwidth.org/6849.html?thread=32598977#cmt32598977 ), and wow, I know that my French is not perfect and Canadian French accents vary pretty widely, but I can understand maybe 1 of every 5 words that's coming out of his mouth (whereas I'm getting most of what the interviewers are saying). Does anyone versed in the various accents of Canada know if his is an especially flavorful regional variation?

Your feelings are my feelings. I think the Las Vegas Knights is a TERRIBLE name and I really hope they can't use it.

In honour of the cinematic masterpiece Showgirls, the Las Vegas Nomi Malones. And there are no jerseys, they play topless.

Although I like the name Pink Flamingos just for all of the jokes we can make about the team eating shit.

NA

I can't speak for Army West Point athletics or the baseball team but I really can't see the London Knights being willing to budge at all on trademarks.

If they were the pink flamingoes the logo could be the blade of the stick as the body and the shaft as the long neck.

And there could be a big flamingo statue in front of the stadium.

I'm in.

A question for the ages, but does anyone have any tips for staying focused during writing? I have it all plotted out and everything, I just can't *clenches fist* write.

And, while we're at it, what constitutes a good ending in meme's opinion? I haven't had the issues with this fandom's endings that some people on meme do, so I think I'm just not very sensitive to them. Which in turn makes me think I might not have the best judgment about ending it too soon vs. dragging it out.

Let's even take it a step back. Las Vegas Showgirls. They have peacock themed jerseys. Their logo is a peacock with a hockey stick in its beak. Everyone is in awe.

I'm really, really liking the space between blue lines by loganes. It's the OMC/OMC WIP that's not by imogenedisease/ycmal. Hopefully not jinxing it but it's providing a lot more of what I wanted out of OMC hockey fic (or even hockey fic in general tbh) than the ycmal fics.

I really like this too. I wasn't expecting the last part to happen as quickly as it did (if you catch my drift) but I might just be assuming that everybody advances their plot at the glacial pace of imogenedisease when it comes to omc fic. I'm super curious to see what happens next. I think the character development has been great without being too cliched or tropey.

I think NBC has a monopoly on peacock logos, sadly.

Yeah, it was a total surprise for me too. Even after Dylan saw McNamara I didn't expect them to get on the same page so fast. I was thinking there'd be misunderstandings, drama, silent treatment etc. And I was so glad to be wrong. It's going to be so interesting to see where loganes goes with it from here.

But agreed again, character development and voice especially imo have been great. And neither of the main characters are tropey archetypes which is such a treat.

For some reason I was really expecting Dylan to be the one whose sexuality was ~accidentally revealed to McNamara, not the other way around! I loved the whole installment, but none of it went as I kind of expected. Which is actually great, it's just another way the fic is so refreshing. I'm dying to get more insight into what Ryan thinks/feels other than drunken confessions about secret resentments, but I assume that will come as they get to know each other better ;)

For your first question, I find it really helpful to find a partner to do writing sprints with. I got into the habit during Yuletide one year because the yulechat IRC has sprints regularly, and now I ask chat buddies or put a call out on Twitter when I need to get some words out.

Exchanges, etc

Writing sprints with a buddy can help!

And I don't think there's a hard and fast rule for a good ending, but your fic won't feel complete unless the protagonist has completed an arc of some sort.
