1) I read “Heart in Hand” out of curiosity a long time ago when I saw people talking about an RPF fic that had become so popular on Goodreads (with thousands of reviews), the much-chagrined author had reposted it with names F&R’d to generic ones for people to link to and locked the RPF version on AO3. I liked it okay. Then someone recced me “King and Lionheart” when I was asking for Arranged Marriage fics and I gave it a shot, still knowing nothing about the characters or hockey. I loved it quite a bit. Then I went on a binge of Soulmate fics in all my fandoms, current and old. The AO3 filters alerted me that there were quite a few with that trope in this fandom. I remembered liking the two fics I’d read before and decided to check them out and the more I read the more interested I got in the fandom.

2) I started reading a lot of systems and analytics articles and got to a point where I couldn’t understand what was being discussed. I thought watching a game or two might help me to picture certain things. I watched a game and was hooked. Sadly, it was during the playoffs, and I didn’t realize that games aren’t usually at that level. But somehow I remained hooked, even once I’d seen some regular season games.

3) Heard about meme in the beginning and have been coming since the first post.

4) Los Angeles Kings

5) Tampa Bay Lightning

6) My interest in the World Cup of Hockey is waning, not increasing, the closer we get to it. I don’t know why.

6 I want a team Europe/ team NA final just because it'd be funny. Other than that i'm pretty meh on it.

I'm cheering for team NA for the lol factor. (Also the pretty D-guys: Ghost, Parayko, iirc Seth Jones....)

/still half-convinced the WCoH organizers ship McEichel

na

hah, i got into hockey rpf through soulmate/soulbond AUs too.

I am so anti-World Cup it isn't even funny. Just give my players a few more weeks to rest, please.

NA

I am too and have been from the start. It's little more than an NHL cash grab, and if any of my teams' players get injured (either at the World cup or later in the season due to fatigue) I'll be very upset.

NA Same. Plus as a European nonnie I'm still mad about this team Europe bs...

I'm torn between hating everything about the World Cup and the temptation of watching hockey a month earlier.
