So Hockey RPF is apparently the new fandom on the rise (aside from Teen Wolf, of course, which I'm still sorely tempted to write for) because I just found out 3 people aside from myself who have independently been reading it in the past week. Maybe there's something in the water? (Despite the great distances that separate most of us...)
I started off with a high school AU, so it was basically like reading original fiction. It was great. My favorite is the Andrew Ladd/Ryan Kesler college AU sequel though. :D COLLEGE AUS, I WANT ALL OF THEM. I now know random things about random hockey players, mostly from the Chicago Blackhawks. This may be in no way useful to my life, but you never know. One day I'm going to go on Jeopardy and win through the sheer amount of random knowledge I've accumulated from reading fic in so many fandoms.
Speaking of picking shit up through fic, I've also reading Gen Kill fic and slowly watching the show. Learnin' 'bout the Marines, yes sir! And the fuckery that is command, apparently. The nice thing about getting into GK four years later is that there is so much good fic to read. This fandom may be small but it is goddamn high quality.
My Pinboard is a delightful mess lately. I still miss tag bundles because I wish I could figure out just how many fandoms I've got tagged. Over 60, I know for sure. Did I mention my brief and largely inexplicable foray into Kakashi/Sakura? Yeah, things happen sometimes and then my Pinboard is like, whoa, what?
And for anyone who didn't see it already, a fabulous article on T-HARD: Here lies a great man...and he's still lying. I freaking love him. I'm going to watch This Means War on Saturday, possibly drunkenly, and it will be great.
