Corny happy Nesta way back when…
x and z
X: How would you categorize your fanfic reading? Are you a voracious reader? Do you carefully pick and choose? Something in between?
Not voracious.. I don’t watch the sport so its not easy to get into stuff about players others might know a lot about. Mostly I read fic by friends / people whose writing I already know.
If I am just scrolling the tag it helps if the opening punches me in face or is prettily / distinctively written haha. Not saying that is what makes writing good, I am just shallow :P I do think there are some really interesting styles in football rpf and I really enjoy this about the fandom.
Actly I just read a fic yesterday where the dialogue and the way people talked inside their heads felt very cool - this one.
Z: Is there a story you’ve written that doesn’t seem to get much love?
I have maybe 2 or 3 fics that felt very personal to me and where I had a lot of fun with the writing (bird Paolo Rossi / Paolo Maldini x reader / maybe beach fling if I still like it in a month lol) and they are all fics that fewer people have read even relative to the pairing tag and/or me being the one writing it. It doesn’t surprise me as those ones end up veering into not really being about the characters people love and want to read about, so the bar is higher? Anyway I write partly to get better at making it worth anyone’s while to read the weird ones :-)
Two songs, both by the bird and the bee, that made me think of your beach fling AU: “La La La” and “Los Angeles” (from Paolo’s point of view?)
Haha thank you I enjoyed both! I like how they both sound a bit pert and have a bit of attitude. Imo that is very Paolo (and also very Sandro).
Also I realise now I never learned to pronounce Los Angeles despite having spent years in CA..
Reposting for my own consumption. 1st one very memorable to me…
Lmao when Nesta scrolls ao3 in search of Paolo x reader fic he sets the theme to snow blue, the colour of the team of his heart #characterisation
Fancy film director Paolo in the beach fling AU haha
I love how you can hear the pause “I said you want to sleep with common people… like me”
Apparently this is a piece of Japanese sports commentary insightfully praising Cannavaro for taking off his shirt for the benefit of the grateful public and castigating Nesta for rarely taking off his shirt
Paolo Maldini talks to the press ahead of Italy's World Cup qualification match against England (11.02.1997).
So I finished the f/f beach fling fic and ended up using all 5 arty films I’ve seen in my life to make it insufferable. NSFW snippet below
Her dark nipples point two ways under her thin shirt. Paolo watches her dress and undress, watches a fragment of herself in the mirror on the slanted door. “Can I take a picture?”
“What? No.”
Ok I’m going to pick a random PL team to root for I think.. London based just bc it’s the only city I’ve been to with a first division team.. all the funny but annoying dudes I went to high school with were for arsenal so not that? spurs? Chelsea? I’m not a masochist or cool enough so not west ham??
Lol that feeling of having created and disseminated pornography that says something rather unflattering about your psyche
Hi pals ive written something deranged! Again!
Paolo / Sandro lesbians beach fling 2/4 chapters
A nice thing that came out of this fic for me is rediscovering Sappho translated by Anne Carson which was the collective obsession my freshman year of college haha. That’s where the titles from, “because I prayed / this word: / I want”
The underwater tea party.. right I think Paolo in this fic is actually Sofia Coppola
