lol swingingstars and I are basically flinging around accusations at each other for not being Real(tm) hockey fans. What's a girl gotta do to earn cred in this fandom, man? Be born during a hockey game?!
it's best on sbnation boards when dudes are like "if you don't remember this random event in 1965 then you're not a real fan!!!!!!!" but people in fandom, esp people new to hockey fandom that have watched hockey for a long time, do it too. ok bro. ok
lol damn, I guess I need college basketball to be the big new fandom so I can be like EXCUSE ME, YOU ARE INCORRECT, except like I didn't even get into that until...college... I just suck at having long-term fandoms, whoops.
Anyone wanna revive Babysitter's Club or Sweet Valley? Because I was in that shit when I was a BABY. A GENIUS BABY WHO COULD READ.
dude this past week has been the worst, I have so much shit to do but ALL I WANT TO DO IS FANGIRL. ALL. THE. THINGS. and READ. ALL. THE. FIC. I even got into generation kill a couple of days ago, what is life, WHAT AM I DOING
NOOOOO YOU GOT INTO GEN KILL TOO? TALK TO ME ABOUT GEN KILL. *___* I was into it right before hockey took over and I didn't get to spend enough time loving on it. (I did get an icon but I'm replying from my email so I can't use it alskjfld--)
BRAD/NATE, Y/Y?
and like I said, fandom really just hones in on the worst timing ever.
getting into gen kill was the worst because, like my involvement in some other fandoms, it happened in reverse i.e. I read the fic before I even watched the damn show, and at first I avoided watching it because I couldn't imagine beautiful blond swede ASkars as Brad but then I DID watch and whyyyyyyyyyy
also HOW IS HIS AMERICAN ACCENT SO GREAT, IT IS REALLY REALLY GOOD AND I SAY THIS AS SOMEONE WITH (a somewhat inexplicable) GREAT AWARENESS OF ACCENTS
right now my brain doesn't even care which fandom it's on, i'm just in NEED ALL THE FANDOM PARTICIPATION NOW mode and I kind of want to die because I have been like this for a week and I really have to like, study and shit
asdfkgjdf I actually do fandom that way ALL the time, lol, fic to canon, or just fic and who even needs canon? But the Gen Kill canon is so, so great and so worth it. I'm glad I watched. ♥
I'm also THE WORST with accents so I will take your word on how great he was.
UGH AND ALL THE FIC INT HAT FANDOM WAS SO GOOOOOOOD. One of the bonuses of coming in to a fandom late, I guess?
Yeah dude, I marathoned the first 6 episodes in one night when I really should have been working on an assignment, I am pretty sure (?) that I am happy with that particular life decision
IKR!? I love getting into fandoms with amazing quality of fic, it is so glorious
the one thing that gets me out of a GK fic really easily, though, is when they start verbalizing all of their ~feelings~ because just, no. No thank you.
what weirds me out is that GK fic is like, almost-but-not-really-but-pretty-much RPF? i don't even know what to describe it as.
Oh maaaaaaan. I agree. I love GK fic for the most part but if they start, like, Talking About Their Emotions, I'm like, really? Really?!
Haha I tell myself GK is closer to fictional fic than RPF since it's really fic of the mini-series and not of the real people, and I know the faces I'm picturing in my head are ASkars & Stark Sands, so!
...just hope neither Brad nor Nate run into awkward things while Googling their own names...
hahah right? There were more Canadians on the Boston Bruins team that won the Stanley Cup last year than the Vancouver Canucks they beat.
Are you coming to hang out in the fandom? :D Did I forgot to link you to babysitter!Jeff fic finally complete and awesome: http://archiveofourown.org/works/377891?view_full_work=true
