I have 2 for you: #1 (which of your stories is your favorite), and 10. What are some facts readers may not know about "He's a Goalie, She's a Keeper?"

1. Of the fics you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?

Of the 14 I have published yet: The Goalie AU, because I loved the setting, the mountains of fluff and I spent so much work on it. The Indy AU I love for different reasons, it is my one large WIP and I really like how the characters fit into it (at least IMHO) and the Turtledove AU is just funny to write. The fourth candidate would be the “Galaxies League” finale, as I wrote it for myself mostly and it was tons of fun using all the soccer terms I’ve learned through reading match reports and watching games in English.

So these four are the favourites, but if I have to pick one, it would be the Goalie AU.

The rest of those ten, I either find decent, o.k. or I (almost) abhor them.

10. What are some facts readers may not know about “He’s a Goalie, She’s a Keeper?

Apart from the long writing process I mentioned earlier:

- All the jokes used are from the year 2010 and Robert Green’s blunder while playing for England against the USA in the FIFA Men’s World Cup.

- I have no idea why I renamed Kes “Gabriel”.

- Jyn not being able to decide whether to protect herself or to keep a hold of her food and drink was based on a real event.

- I’m still not quite sure if the Spanish word “Chiquitita” and “Caramba” were used in a way one would actually use them.

- The part about Saw was written months after the scenes surrounding it.

- Bodhi is a very successful musician/actor in this AU.

- The World Cup Cassian wins takes place in 2022, but not in Qatar, but in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Mexico does win the final, which is played in the Azteca, thus fulfilling his dream in an even more special way. [These three not having to qualify paves the way for other CONCACAF nations to secure a berth at the WC. Apart from Costa Rica, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, Haiti, El Salvador and Jamaica are the ones to qualify.] It also makes Jyn very happy, as for the two years Mexico would normally be qualifying, they have friendlies all around the world.

- Currently stands at 49 comments and 49 kudos. (Which is weird, as it seems many people commented without kudoing, perhaps it would have been better to split the story for easier reading and to get some more readers through more chapters than through one big oneshot?)

- Many people loved the title, I spent quite some time thinking about it and was very unsure about the pun.

- It was named “Goalie AU” and “The Happy Story” before getting his name, because writing it was my way to “recover” from angsty stories, annoying and frustrating work days etc.

- I think the statue was over-the-top, but hey, I wanted them to have a lasting legacy.

- Cassian staying with one club for his entire career (at least after going to England) is meant to be a nod to his loyalty. I had a rough idea about having Cassian mentioning in the bar scene that he “was goalkeeping since he was six years old”, but I felt like that would be disrespectful considering the original context of said phrase.

As you see, I’m WAAAAAAY too invested in it!
