Johnny's actually spending the whole summer at BC, he's taking summer classes and skating in the Foxboro Pro League, etc.

Yeah, I couldn't remember his age off the top of my head. I always think he's older because of how long he's played.

I dunno, I thought the anon who came in with the increasingly ridiculous defenses of why they're allowed to do what the initial vent was about was more OTT one. Like, sure, but they still sounded like a boring asshole to me, too.

Someone can write for me now! And it's a pairing I totally didn't expect anyone to offer. I still don't have anyone I can write for, but I remain hopeful.

Especially since Richards had an NHL contract offer.

The charity thing was probably the Comm Ave Charity Classic, to save anyone the extra google search.

"The game’s proceeds will once again benefit two extraordinary nonprofits, Compassionate Care ALS, which supports people with the fatal neuromuscular disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and the Travis Roy Foundation, dedicated to enhancing the lives of those with spinal cord injuries. The foundation was established by Roy (COM’00, Hon.’16) after he crashed into the boards and was paralyzed during his first game as a Terrier in October 1996."

They're both skating in that league. I think they're on the same team.

I was at this game, KHayes had a breakaway in the last minute and basically stopped and waited for Johnny to catch up to him so he could pass to him and get him a hat trick. It was actually very, very cute. The score was 13-8, which makes the hatty somewhat less impressive but it was still nice of him lmao.

Yeah, that's true, I just felt the need to correct OP a bit since neither of them were at BC for the purpose of the attending the charity thing, since they're both around all summer anyways (and hanging out, since they're BFFS).

I'm not sure what about "I don't owe you an explanation of my feelings when expressing those feelings on a platform that doesn't exist to cater to your readership" is so OTT. I wouldn't enjoy reading someone's twitter if it was filled with passive-agression and negative vagueblogging and subtweeting, and no one is saying that these are great, praiseworthy practices. But I also wouldn't march in complaining about how it's not to much to ask to demand they clarify who and what they're talking about and why, and calling someone an "unsubstantiated hater" because their personal twitter doesn't ~contribute to the conversation (what conversation lol? it's not a conversation, no one's talking to you). Explaining that this is ridiculously self-centered =/= "all I do online is tweet about how much I irrationally hate all these unspecified things." I only see one person (two, including you) calling others boring/unintelligent/shitty and shallow/etc... because they're trying to explain they don't owe it to strangers to produce #content on their personal twitters.

na

I love that fic. And yeah, it gets recced around pretty regularly, I think, at least in Pens fandom.

+1

This demand that readers provide constructive criticism if they dare say anything at all is a new level of entitlement. It ain't about you! If they wanted to talk about your fic to you, they would address their comments to you.

that was a good read iirc. i wish they would have at least kissed or something at the end though.

planning to read the koivu/russo for shits and giggles. i read fast so it's not like a huge investment of my time if it *doesn't* work for me.

also it produced this picture - which makes it all worth it.

lol, I actually had a great time. They were all clearly having fun, beer was $5, and it was for a good cause. I would recommend it to any/all Boston area nonnies.

http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/17113363/usa-hockey-adds-new-jersey-devils-forward-kyle-palmieri-world-cup-roster

Kyle Palmieri will replace injured Ryan Callahan on the Team USA roster.

Palmieri recorded a career-high 30 goals, 27 assists and 57 points last season and signed a $23.25 million, five-year deal this summer. Among U.S.-born players, only the Chicago Blackhawks' Patrick Kane and the San Jose Sharks' Joe Pavelski scored more goals last season.

Now I want the sequel to that one weaglerock Orpik/Ovechkin where Brooks is just *barely* starting to turn eagle at the end (a mating flight would be especially awesome but I'd take basically anything.)

Also, somebody needs to prank brand new Predator PK with catnip (PK is surprised at how fast his second form switches over, because his *emotions* are still a mess). This could go to a "dub-con because it's sex pollen but they're both genuinely into it" place with Josi if catnip gets them high as people too, but cuddles as sabertoothesque cats need to happen regardless of whether porn happens.

(I actually liked about the first four iirc but I think the series has jumped the shark. Also I found it weird that electrumqueen who writes a shitload of juniors fic made an error as basic as having an OHL guy actually having weekend time off during the season.)

IDK how personal twitters even came into it, since the only medium mentioned by either of them is the fic discussion thread. Which is... generally ~conversation-based, IMO. And sure, there isn't a minimum amount of #content someone needs to put out, but if their philosophy across social media platforms is actually "I can and will say things with no context or support, and I don't have to be engaging while I'm at it because this a writer/reader interaction, no conversation wanted" - if we're in the business of ad absurdum -, it would've been a pretty quick unfollow for me there, too.

Yeah, the first couple almost warmed me up to her, but that cow is milked dry, to keep up the animal jokes.

Er, because the entire thread is about how people talk about fic on their personal twitters? The subthread OP was talking about people vague tweeting fic? The only mention of the fic discussion thread was a stupid comparison (because that actually is a space that IS dedicated to discussion and also is not one person's personal platform) by OAA, who was using it as an opportunity to "roll their eyes" and expound upon how boring/terrible they thought a-they-rt was. Demanding that someone provide "context" or "support" for their personal tweets, which are not part of a conversation they are having with or for you, nor a "writer/reader interaction," is sheer entitlement. Unfollowing people because you don't enjoy their twitter is fine but also =/= demanding that they change how they tweet so that you, a stranger, can engage with it to your satisfaction.

Lmao, no, they didn't? Vagueblogging isn't twitter specific. People even vague post here, and it's generally not met well. If anything, it hints at tumblr. But whatever.

It's not entitlement or demanding to say you dislike how someone conducts themselves (but uh if that's how we're defining it...). There's no expectation of change. I definitely have no interest in engaging with them, because clearly how we use socialize is very at odds.

I misremembered because of the direction the conversation took, but being tumblr and not twitter doesn't actually change things. We certainly weren't talking about the fic discussion thread.

It's not entitlement or demanding to say you dislike how someone conducts themselves (but uh if that's how we're defining it...). There's no expectation of change.

No, no one said dislike = entitlement. No one disagreed with people who said they disliked seeing vagueblogging. But saying "having a single coherent thought about an established subject isn't really all that much to ask for" is an expectation that is entitled when people aren't writing for you. There is no expectation that every single tweet or tumblr text post is supposed to have coherent thoughts about established subjects. Calling people names and making assumptions about their intelligence because they want to be able to say "ugh I didn't like this" on their blogs or twitters without explaining themselves to you, a random stranger, is both entitled and over the top.

da

Also, disliking the practice of vagueblogging because of its pettiness, smallmindness, propensity to generate wank, whatever, and judging someone who engages in it excessively =/= being upset that someone expressed an opinion, even a negative one, on their personal social media without "context" or "support" or ~contributing to a conversation that they aren't trying to have or providing constructive criticism or analysis that no one is paying them to provide. "No one expects professional reviews, but..." blahblahblah is a reasonable thing to say if you're talking about, like, Amazon reviews or AO3 comments, but saying that about someone's personal social media is assuming that that social media exists for your edification, which it doesn't.

Ooo! Would you drop a link for that please?

ayrt

I read it. And have returned to provide meme with a review.

To quote the eternal Randy Jackson. It was just OK for me dawg. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't my favorite either. Her Russo voice isn't as biting as I wanted it to be - but I did enjoy the kind of Wild retrospective that it provided.
