Got my assignment! No surprise on matched pairing (there was only one option on the spreadsheet unless someone had signed up after the last update), but I love the letter and preferences my recip has. All looks very in-line with what I'd like to write.

Eric Johnson started it by tweeting his message of congratulations:

My boy @tysonbarrie !!! Big congrats and much deserved on the contract. Heads up Dairy Queen ! 🍦
(Probably suggesting that's where Tyson was going to spend all his money)

Dairy Queen replied

@6ErikJohnson @tysonbarrie Congrats Tyson!

And Tyson responded to them but not Eric Johnson.

He does seem to like Dairy Queen though:

Aww, I'm sad to hear about Benn/Seguin. I'm more into some rarer ships, but they were my favourite of the "big ships".

Thank you as always, nonnie!

I didn't get matched on my super rare pairings even though I know at least one person requested one of them, lol, I was kind of hoping for it, not gonna lie... But I'm very happy about the assignment I did end up with! I like all the pairings they requested (and only offered 2 of them! might write a treat :D) and their dear author letter is very sweet. :)

NY Riveters will be playing their 2016-17 season in Newark, NJ at the Barnabas Hockey House!

I always feel so bad for not writing a letter but I always put a lot into the requests themselves so a letter always feels a bit redundant.
Having said that, I matched on two pairs and my recipe is big on fluff. Makes my fluffy heart happy because that's my wheelhouse right there.

I'm glad everyone seems happy. This is going to be fun:)

Anyone know anything about the arena? I'm too far away to see any games in person, but I'm nosy.

Less seating capacity than Aviator, but it's a million times easier to get to on public transport and since the Devils train there everything's in pretty good shape. The Isobel Cup Final games there went well so hopefully the regular season will too.

On the one hand, I'm grumbling about yet another team calling itself New York while taking advantage of playing in New Jersey. On the other hand, I will DEFINITELY be checking out some games this year, because it'll be so much more convenient, and they're my faves.

That reminds me, are any nonnies buying season tickets for their local NWHL team (if they have one ofc). I'm kind of on the fence because I want to give them all my money but I'm not sure how many games I'll actually be able to go to. My friend that I went with last year has a new job and isn't free on weekends very much, and the new location for the Pride is more out of the way for me... I feel like I'm coming up with excuses but I just don't want to buy the season tickets and then not go to the games. But I want to support them!!

Re: Women's Hockey

Ugh, parking for the Isobel Cup finals there cost me more than my ticket to the game. I'm less than enthusiastic about this move.

I want to buy season tickets, but I'm also hoping to move to a new city sometime in the middle of the season, so I'm holding off. Also the added parking/public transit fees that come with the new Riveters location (plus their tickets being the most expensive), have kind of soured me.

How much did you pay? There are $15 (and maybe $10?) parking lots a few blocks away if you're willing to walk an extra couple of minutes. And those lots are still in the safer parts of Newark.

da

Yeah, considering when I went to a game in Brooklyn last season I ended up in an Uber, this is probably cheaper if I just take the train.

I'm pretty sure imogenedisease or what the heck ever she calls herself now she spends more time on those stupid polls than she does writing tbh

Super petty I know but I realllllly don't care about whoever Jaya Singh is because all of her female characters are the same "eye-rolling at those dumb boys who I am feistier and stronger than and can scare into submission with a hair flip and a look" type.

It's her blog and she can do whatever she wants I know, but she's literally getting paid to write full time at this point so I'm kind of bitter that I've contributed some money to her kickstarter/patreon thing and she's not writing more than she had been.

Re: Fandom Venting

I'm so glad her actual fic got boring/bad enough that I wasn't going to suffer through it anymore, because it seems like her "fandom" has reached insufferable new heights. Every time somebody on my dash reblogs another one of her posts where she teases her readers with "hints" about her 'verse and then writes another 2k fic with basically no content I get annoyed, I imagine it would be worse if I actually cared.

I'm not even sure what the point of the polls are. Like, you're too lazy to create your own extra tumblr content anymore - which were kinda essential in fleshing out her narratives, since she refuses to put in the stories - so you're just crowd-sourcing people's tumblr tag reactions to your characters (made doubly pointless since negative responses aren't welcome)? ... kay.

Yeah, the decline in quality is a little shocking. No way she'd have the audience she has now if she'd always been this comfortable.

Re: Fandom Venting

(Anonymous) 2016-08-02 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
lol, I was just thinking that about the female character in her new series. so fiesty and too much to handle, gonna walk real fast and pinch a total stranger who I could immediately tell is gay, then hook him up. who knows what dumb gay boys would do without me! probably jerk off a lot and die alone.

as for the polls, im not sure what the point is, except to be OTT and flaily in a very sustained, boring fashion.

Re: Fandom Venting

(Anonymous) 2016-08-02 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
it shows a lot about what she thinks about her own characters, at least. which I would not say is positive.
