Re: Fic Discussion- puttin' on my shades (to cover up my eyes)
From: (Anonymous)Also, though the notes mention someone giving her Jersey details, her subsequent claim that she didn't listen is truth in advertising. Why do they keep going down the shore in the autumn?? No one is there! And it's an hour+ drive away from where they are! How does someone fall off the boardwalk into the ocean? THERE IS A BEACH IN THE WAY. And that's not even getting into the characterization of various north Jersey cities that made no sense. Hoboken in 2016 is a genuinely hip place full of young people where most of the younger Devils live, not a slum.
Re: Fic Discussion- puttin' on my shades (to cover up my eyes)
From: (Anonymous)I actually live in Central Jersey right now and was a little weirded out by her Jersey. Look, if you want to put a slum-esque area in your fic set in Jersey, you can use Camden, where one of my friends got stabbed a few years back. I have trouble buying the idea that any rich athlete would even be in a shitty part of Jersey, though, because there are genuinely nice places here, dammit.
Maybe Zajac, Schneider, Greene, and Elias are all just riiiight in the background of every scene, like easter eggs!
No, but the people you mentioned all seem decent enough to not just be like "oh, Hall is scoring, it's okay if he continues to destructively spiral down into depression and alcohol". I have trouble believing that none of them would try and talk to him - Schneider was traded from a Canadian team for too little! They have things in common!
Re: Fic Discussion- puttin' on my shades (to cover up my eyes)
From: (Anonymous)Camden would probably also be a little too far away, considering the drive (though it's available for Flyers writers, if they want it!), but there are more appropriate North Jersey cities to malign than Hoboken. Just set it in the non-touristy parts of Newark.
And yeah, Andy Greene in particular feels so "team dad" that I'd like to hope he'd step in before Hall got that bad. Or, more importantly, before the poor ROOKIE got that bad.
Re: Fic Discussion- puttin' on my shades (to cover up my eyes)
From: (Anonymous)Lol, I said Camden because I figured if she's having them drive an hour plus to the shore, she'd be fine with them going to Camden too. If I was going to make an actual, legit suggestion, I'd say Jersey City could be an option along with certain parts of Newark.
Oh, god, the rookie bits felt so unbelievable to me. Are you telling me all these people are aware that Taylor Hall is in a self-destructive spiral and that he's dragged a rookie into it and they do nothing???
I mean, with the "Everyone's Gay!" tone of the fic, maybe Greene is like, making out with Zajac in the corner and having gay angst or something. (Disclaimer: I would read this fic.)
Re: Fic Discussion- puttin' on my shades (to cover up my eyes)
From: (Anonymous)I found it even more implausible that the team would allow Hall to drag a rookie with him on that spiral. Like even Henrique in the fic is just like "you have to stop!" and then doesn't do anything. Where are the authority figures???
