Are there any other attorneys on here who want to argue about The Chips Are Set to Fall like it’s a law school hypo?

Ok hi! The last chapter is twice the length of my normal chapters and it’s winding and weaving, but it’s very close to being ready. So I think I’m posting it today or tomorrow.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Ilya takes fate into his own hands to normalize gay hockey. Thus begins his part-time side hustle as community organizer, mastermind, and Commander-in-Chief of the Gay Hockey Army.

If you’ve ever read a crack fic and thought “needs more discussion of logistics,” or “there aren’t enough people for me to keep track of,” or “I wish someone would form a violent rebel militia right now,” this is probably for you.

(Now complete)

Hey can I do something real quick?

I know deep in my heart that Ringleader sex is different than Ilya sex, and sometimes Shane will try to provoke Ringleader sex by like, designing team jerseys, or bringing up Scott Hunter not recording that one time, or saying “You know, in the PWHL...”, or really just talking about Crowell at all, and there’s an entire filthy companion piece that could be written for every chapter just with that in mind.

Ok I’m done, thanks for doing that with me.

Time for the biweekly “oops I misplaced my time management” post. Next chapter will be tomorrow, not today. Give me like 24 hours. A lot is happening in RASHYCOCKania right now.

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE: After I post this chapter, I’m making it a series (Continuing History of Ilya’s Players Series) just so I can put the aforementioned #7 story up. I won’t guarantee any more than that right now, but hypothetically, this is where I would put any other OC stories, social media reactions, group texts, lists, future-fics, or Evan Dykstra country music reaction videos. And other peoples’ fics about this world, if the author is amenable and if that is possible (I don’t know how any of this works). That kind of thing. Hypothetically. I’m excited to post things that aren’t Chips but I also love this stupid little world too much and this softens the blow a little bit, lol.

Me for four months: lol I bet #7 was there. Would be really funny if #7 said that. I bet this is what #7 was thinking then. It would be really funny if that were #7. I think this is what ends up happening with #7. I have to get #7 to that point by that time.

Me, today, after I’ve already told you my chapter count, not wanting to finish writing things that will make me Feel: let me try to write some of that down.

Three hours later—

#7: kids, have I ever told you the story of how I met your father?

My average chapter length is 4k. And this isn’t done. So that’s how we might end up with one extra chapter for Ted Mosby #7. Idk. We’ll see, it might just be in the plot bunny dump when all this is done.
