Probably shouldn't have so obviously made Georgie her favorite

I want way way way more of the misogyny/bigotry tbh. Give me all of the realistic dialogue and lockerroom talk. I know what gets said and it's super gross but... I like realism what can I say? These guys aren't the twee teary-eyed children that some authors write them as. I'd rather a have poorly written attempt than the opposite (which she's also guilty of, see Marc and his fucking social justice pamphlets).

On this subject. Who of her characters do y'all like?? I was thinking about this the other day - I have read most of what she's written and can honestly say I really only enjoy Dan and Kiro.

I liked the story about the best friends (Gabe and ???) but it's so underdeveloped that I don't actually *like* either character really.

I think what's really annoying for me is that I do like most of her characters, she just keeps fucking them up! By dragging out their plot or with blatant favoritism or what have you.

Except Marc. Marc can choke.

God help me I actually really like Jake and David. As individual characters and as a pairing. I think out of all of her stories, theirs is the only one I'm super invested in, like I really need them to get the happy ending.

I like Robbie and Georgie too actually, again both separate and together. And Oleg, Derek, Andy, and the best bros.

Not a fan of Marc/Dan or Mike/Liam. I didn't read the Vinny one because it seemed too much like issue fic about a flailing baby deer and that's not my speed.

I liked the Andy story, but it was very thin and she left a lot underdeveloped there too. Still, cute, and I enjoyed both main characters.

I like some of Jake but I might just be sympathetic because she clearly doesn't.

I almost want to write fanfic about Jake and David, yikes. Though I probably won't.

God, I do not get the appeal of Vinny at fucking all. I liked Fournier though, and Carmen.

Kiro is basically Russian Carmen.

I'm signed up for an exchange that I'm working on but it's getting harder to resist haha

There are a couple existing fics though! I recall liking at least one of them. I think they're gifted to her on ao3.

I like Carmen too. An actual story for Carmen + Sylvie would be ok with me.

da

as long as it wasn't really actually about vinny I would be down

I was really invested in Vinny. And really dissatisfied with his ending.

Ooh didn't know that. Thanks for the tip! I'm legit excited to see multiple Jake/David fics.

Agreed. What I really want is a realistic look at how that works. In RL there's a heap of fraternization rules but I'm also sure player/staff relationships happen. Rules or not I've never worked anywhere that doesn't feature at least one coworker couple (vaguely I think Ryan Whitney dated someone who works for the Panthers?? This may be information that exists only in my brain but I feel like I remember reading about it)

I really like both Jake and David too. I might be devastated if they don't at least have an optimistic ending in the end (THANKFULLY, one of the more recent kickstarter stories have me feeling quite optimistic on that front, which made me feel better after the last update which I hated).

I liked Robbie at the start, but he's getting on my nerves now. At the same time, I'm liking Georgie more (and I wish that the POV of that story was flipped, tbh).

I feel like I should like Vinny so much more than I do because if I'm being honest, my personality irl is very similar to his (minus the asexuality) but I hated the supporting casts. If my friends/coworkers/whatever treated me the way his did, I would snap and take someone's head off.

I really wish Gabe and Stephen/their story had been much more fleshed out because to me, Gabe had the potential to be her most interesting character were he properly developed. And yet...

+1 Vinny was my fav.

There's a Kari/Nemo fic there now too. I'm impatient for the collection to open but the mod says it will be tomorrow night.

Same, his story was my favourite probably, before it started getting bland because she didn't resolve anything...

Re: Fandom Venting

(Anonymous) 2016-08-11 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
+1 Maybe I'd still like Robbie if his story wasn't moving so extremely slowly and there was actually some development.

Re: Fandom Venting

(Anonymous) 2016-08-11 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
A lot of the issues with Robbie come from her pacing. It seems worse than before.

I've definitely seen tweets or whatever about staff members dating or getting married, and I remember a Panthers AGM is married to a former Panthers reporter. It doesn't get reported on but I bet it happens.

I thought it was great. Didn't someone post a while back about wanting outing fic that focused on the team's reactions? That was definitely a major thread in this.
