+ fucking 1

I will be so pissed if we don't get Robbie/Georgie but I'm not holding my breath. There was so much potential with this series! And I've been pretty disappointed so far.

I have a terrible gut feeling that on top of that she's going to throw Robbie/Matty on his. It's not a YCMAL story unless a supporting character she randomly introduces halfway becomes her fave and changes the entire course of the story. see: Kiro

na

I'm so happy there's someone else out there hoping for a Robbie/Georgie endgame. I thought I was the only one!

You're definitely not!

DA

You're not! And it's one of my huge criticisms with the story; them getting back together and working through it, told concurrently with how they broke up, would have been a lot better imo than the angst with a side of clinical depression and possible "wait nvm I'll just fuck my best friend" as a resolution.

Oh man, that would be so good! That's what really frustrates me with a lot of her stories. So much unrealised potential.

ayrt

The college flashbacks ending partway through was so frustrating! I don't know if she didn't want to do the research or what, but it messed with the pacing a lot.

Re: Fic Discussions - YCMAL

She wasn't doing any research in the first place *grumbles*

Re: Fic Discussions - YCMAL

I mean, absolutely true. I honestly can't remember if she even mentioned the Beanpot.

Re: Fic Discussions - YCMAL

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty sure she didn't.

I don't get how you set something at BU and not.

Re: Fic Discussions - YCMAL

[(Anonymous)]

Because she didn't want to write BU, she wanted to write A Hockey School, and New England is the closest to her geographical comfort zone, and can't do BC because of British Columbia, so BU! And, hey, isn't Boston where Italians are? Time to make another botched attempt at ethnic diversity!

Re: Fic Discussions - YCMAL

At that point just make up a school, lmao. Now I'm remembering how she fucked up writing a Jewish character too.

One day there'll be good college hockey fic in the tag, I hope.

Re: Fic Discussions - YCMAL

[(Anonymous)]

Are you talking about either Gabe or Stephen? (I forgot which one, lol.) That was so tagged on. Did she even mention it in the initial story?

Re: Fic Discussions - YCMAL

[(Anonymous)]

Gabe is supposed to be Jewish. There's an ask somewhere on the blog about holidays where she does things like not mention Passover.

I'm not into college hockey, but gdgbaby seems to write a lot of Boston-based college hockey stuff. Have you tried her?

Re: Fic Discussions - YCMAL

[(Anonymous)]

Hm, I'll check again? I remember a lot of it seemed very niche.

Re: Fic Discussions - YCMAL

I'm still amazed she didn't make David/Kiro endgame
