(rape cw)
me personally, I would not take a gang rape case that went unpunished, use real details from that case and write an au where one of the main characters was in the room while that rape (with, again real details from a real case) happened and position him as a victim to that situation.
but that's just me I guess
the concept of britpicking fics, but for hockey. hockeypicking heated rivalry fics.
like what do you mean by "match"? what do you mean by handshake lines after regular season games? what do you mean the game ended in a tie? why are they scoring so many goals? goalie said fuck it and left?
transfers instead of trades. cubbies instead of stalls. split checks instead of normal cheques. a 3rd quarter. wearing beanies. wearing clothes and not base layers. apparently not wearing a cup or jock. not showering after practice or a game, or going from the room with their stalls to the room with their real clothes. not actually going done the tunnel during intermission but everyone staying on the bench. canadians with tivos. 17 year old rookies. being on a road trip for “months”. the season being 10 month without reference to the playoffs. divisional or conference rivals playing against each other for the stanley cup. players taking cabs to the airport instead of the team bus. teams flying commercial instead of on the team plane. WAGs traveling with them, not just sometimes traveling to attend away games. and so many more where i’m just like, you couldn’t glance at an old schedule?

In case you don't know what Brit-picking is, Fanlore has an article!
To be fair to the many goals people, I am an Ottawa Senators fan and it's not that unusual to see scores of 5,6,7 to 1 or 2. Against them. Of course.
Right, but it's an issue where they have one player scoring 5+ goals in a single game. A whole team being subjected to a blowout? Sure. We've all seen it. A player having a 5+ point night? Rare, awesome, but not completely unheard of. But 6, 7, 8 goals? No.

Yes, to all of this, AND
The NHL is such an ecosystem unto itself. The things I thought I knew from watching a smidge of women’s hockey? Mostly wrong, I have learned. (thanks @flawlessassholes you're the best)
But also Heated Rivalry isn't really about hockey, the sport. It's about hockey, the culture. The intense pressure and scrutiny from an insular community. The strict and retrograde view of masculinity. The possibility of ostracization if the norms are violated.
None of that is unique to hockey.
Give us the dance world AUs. The cult AUs. The elite university AUs. Hell, even other professional sports AUs. There are so many possibilities!
If you don't know hockey, get someone to help you! There are lovely people who seriously know ball (puck?) in this fandom. Or just... don't write about hockey at all! Yes, it's possible. Really, it's okay. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
I just got so depressed
do not know if anyone else reported on this and i hope someone did and got video but every game trevor shoots the puck at the other end empty net at the end of warmups… today mctavish was actively blocking all his shots and then put one in himself when trevor finally gave up

guys, teams often do high-five their captains when getting off the ice. they will thank their goalie and then skate off, high-fiving their captain as they leave. the show got that right. it's not an error.
okay lol literally I read a fic yesterday regular season game in Boston the morning after the game both Boston and Montreal teams were in the hotel lobby for breakfast …. I was like why would Boston be there they live there???
STOPPPPPPP

in every single hrpf fic, regardless of team fandom, there is a moment where the writer is like
Wildflowers Don't Care Where They Grow - TinyLifetimes
I wish there was 1000 more buddie fics like this one, w the time period & dialogue & concept, it's literally like reading a period-time novel & I literally cannot stop thinking about it 😭😭😭😭
it's a shame this is a plagiarized fic :( if you want to read the original, it's mine and it's here!
i spent a year and a half researching and writing this story, so it's very disappointing that someone else felt entitled to it and tried to pass it off as their own.
I went to report that buddie fic that straight up plagiarized ITWB. wrote out my little complaint. compiled numerous screenshots. hit the submit button—and someone go there before me. I had no idea only one person could report a fic at a time. whoever you are, thank you!
edit:
here are some comparisons so you don't have to go looking!
exwag i love u and want to inform you that i did NOT send that ask but i did comment on that persons fic and they have now orphaned their account and turned on comment moderation
omg i love you. my friends and i watched that happen in real time.
if anyone missed it, this was the 911 buddie fic that blantly ripped off my fic. i read over it and it was literally....... so very obvious.
even though they orphaned their account, i still plan to report the fic for plagiarism.
thank you to everyone that reached out!
Hi! Let me start off by saying I love Into the Wild Blue. It’s my all time favorite fanfiction I’m constantly rereading it. Anyway I was scrolling through the historical mpreg tag on Ao3 and I found a fic that has a striking resemblance to Into the Wild Blue. It’s called Wildflowers Don't Care Where They Grow by tinylifetimes. The epilogue especially is extremely similar to ITWB with some slight changes to dialogue. I don’t know if you’re still involved with fanfiction, but this was so disappointing to see :////. Just wanted to let you know
I’m at work right now so I can’t even get into it fully but it’s actually CRAZY how much this fic is a clear rip off. Not even “inspired by”. The dialogue is straight up lifted in some spots lmao
Hi, again. Groupies anon here. It’s just so weird, but I had a feeling this might be the case. I’m bummed but definitely understand. The stories you wrote for hockey fandom are always going to be so special. Thanks for many hours of pleasure especially during the lockdown when life felt so bleak. Do you plan to write fic for other fandoms and will we know if you do? Asking for a friend (me!)
I get it. I had to go through my own grieving process. I think I knew in January but kept trying all the way up through April and that’s around the time I started saying it out loud to other people. It’s sad! I started writing it in October 2020 and so much of it was lined out. I just had to write it. And I did! I wrote like, 65k of it! But in the end I couldn’t cross the finish line.
I haven’t ruled out posting it as an abandoned/incomplete work because I’m so proud of so much of it and want(ed) it to be read. But this also goes against how I feel about writing in general.
After breaking from hrpf, I had a brief foray into writing Dunefic. Got 10-15k into an idea that I really liked. But that fizzled out too.
I spent the better part of six years writing constantly and I think I got burned out.
So, for now, I’ve got nothing. Just doing a lot of reading and watching shows and movies. No fandom engagement really.
As far as if I write again for another fandom — who knows. I only started writing in 2018. hrpf is the only thing I’ve ever written. But I loved writing so much and want to keep going in other spaces. It’s only a matter of time. I hope.
This space was made specifically for hrpf and I think it’ll probably remain that way. You can follow my main blog @exwag or subscribe on AO3. I don’t have plans to remake if I start writing for another fandom and I certainly have no plans to delete the fics I’ve posted.
Thanks for all the hours of reading and years of following! It’s been an experience🖤
