bronze_ribbons: Dee and Ryo from FAKE in deep kiss (Dee/Ryo liplock)
Over the next month or so, I will be recording scenes from Superstition_hockey's Bells/Hayes arc and posting them at https://archiveofourown.org/works/23500855/chapters/56354350, including comment-fics from HawkeyeState that deserves a wider audience.

I'm not doing them in order (uninhibited as I am, trying to record other people's sex scenes with the BYM within earshot does cramp my style), and it would behoove you to become familiar with the series beforehand in any case. Start with archiveofourown.org/works/6099484/chapters/13981810

And if hockey/surfing/feminist-bro slash fic is just never gonna be your thing, it's perhaps worth noting that I fell into that fandom via [personal profile] lomedet, whose tweet tonight also clued me into #SaturdayNightSeder, which delighted me on many levels, including these:

Highlights for me included:

* (as described by Lion Saltzman): "Ben Platt singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow as Judith Light talking about Jews escaping to America and the song being composed by Jewish refugees, and about the Wizard of Oz coming out less than two months after Kristallnacht."
* Henry Winkler talking about Moses interspersed with Billy Porter singing "Go Down Moses"
* Debra Messing and Richard Kind telling the Passover story. Funny-schticky in parts 1 and 2, and then genuinely moving in Part 3 -- the parting of the Red Sea has never seemed so real to me
* Harvey Fierstein riffing on "Next year in Jerusalem" and asking why we couldn't have taken over Berlin instead.

Cast includes Idina Menzel, Josh Groban, Bette Midler (as Elijah!), Stephen Schwartz, Jason Alexander, and what seemed like dozens of other Broadway stars.

So, Tequila_Mockingbird at A03 posted a new fic set in the Superstition Hockey universe from the perspective of fans tweeting and blogging up a storm (in both French and English) in reaction to a Major Event in the series. (If you haven't read the series and don't want to be spoiled, start at the beginning. I haven't linked to the title because it in itself is a spoiler.)

(1) Fandom meta is hilarious.

(2) Philadelphia has become one of my heart's cities, and I am inordinately entertained by mentions of their hockey mascot. (One of my favorite tweets of all time is this summary of the city's reaction to Gritty's debut, and then there was a wedding...)

(3) Within the fic, there's a blog post titled "the eternal continuity of ducks." And suddenly there's a comment thread on which positions various Wimseys would play.

Some days fandom is the best.

At a famous bbq joint...

(Threats notwithstanding, it was a great meal -- pulled pork sandwich, green beans, fried corn on the cob, and a bottle of Fitz's root beer. And I had enough left on my gift card to carry out a half-slab of ribs [aka my breakfast the next two days].)

I went to the Preds vs. Coyotes game on Valentine's Day (the skate girls, cheerleaders, and mascot all wore cupid wings, and the organist wore a red jacket). The Preds have a player from Bern named Roman Josi. "Yos"'s program mentions that he "would like trade places with Roger Federer for a day" and that his favorite book is Andre Agassi's Open.

I was doing some research on horses yesterday. It looks like there have been at least six thoroughbreds named "Wimbledon" (including one from Jamaica and one from Ireland). One was sired by a stallion named "Second Set." There is a Florida mare named "Serena's Sister" that gave birth to a filly named "Doubles Partner." I see two horses named "Roland Garros" (a Brazilian mare and a Nevada gelding).

ETA: Also, four horses named "Federer" and seven named "Nadal" (including the son of "Grand Slam"). :-)
