Hi, new fandom. I didn't think we'd ever meet.

[allaire]

I can rightfully blame thehoyden for one fandom I neither wanted nor needed, and yet am right now totally fascinated by: Hockey RPF. Sidney Crosby/Evgeni Malkin, to be exact, all because of "King and Lionheart". But what was I supposed to do when I learnt one of my favorite authors (from, ah, where was it? Ah yes, in particular The Dresden Files, Due South,

AHAHHAHA!

Welcome to the insanity. Hockey is one of the greatest fandoms ever.

[allaire]

Humpf. So you've been there before me, haven't you? Why am I not surprised? *g*

Which pairing? Can you recommend any Sid/Geno stories that can only be found outside of AO3?

*haha, your icon!*

[slippery_fish]

*snickers* I blame it on my hometown team. Pulled me into everything regarding hockey. *pets her guys*

I read mostly stuff with Sid (Sid/Geno, Sid/Ovie, Sid/Claude) but Kaner/Tazer as well.

There isn't much hockey RPF outside of AO3. There are a few comms on LJ but they usually post to AO3 as well.

Heh, I got a lot of hockey icons by now but that really sums it up.

ETA: Btw, tumblr is a great place to see lots of cool slashy hockey GIFs...

[allaire]

Well, so far I've avoided the whole "being pulled into hockey" thing, but I guess that's no longer true now. *g*

Sid/Claude? Isn't that totally hate!sex? *eg*

You know, I'm still not on Tumblr, maybe because I know I can't even keep up properly with lj...

ALSO, I NEED LONG STORIES. SO MUCH.

LOL, not enough Sid/Geno fic. TRY BEING INTO PK/CAREY ;________;

Anyway, I can only recommend checking out some of the other pairings because there's quite some fab fic for them too. Let me know if you want actual recs but you can't go all that wrong with sorting the hockey rps tag by hits or kudos :)

[allaire]

Hey, I'd love some recs! My main problem with fic featuring other pairings is that the authors usually diss Sid (rather nastily, too), and I have trouble swallowing that. Give me stories in which that doesn't happen, and I'll be happy to read them! *g*

It's so nice to see I'm not all alone lost in Hockey RPF land...

Huh, I don't remember coming across that a lot because that would piss me off too. But yeah, have some favorites:
