Okay so. I don't even -- I feel like I should have some kind of personal entry here? I don't know. I spent Christmas in a little lodge in the nearly-inaccessible rainforest foothills of the Osa Peninsula, no phones/internet except one satellite phone that cost $10 to use, and it was so stunningly beautiful and amazing that I actually cried when I

[dorkorific]

[snuzzie]

I just think you should never stop. tbh.

[greenpixiehair]

oh my fucking god oh ok

so

ok so this is making it difficult for me to breathe

I might maybe be the lunatic anon who prompted the tiny fraction of an idea that maybe started some of this and uh WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. WHAT IS THIS.

APART FROM PURE UNADULTERATED WONDER, OBVIOUSLY.

[dorkorific]

Oh my god ahahahahahaha WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

this is your fault, YOUR FAULT, afkldsjfldskjfdsl ummmm is this where i say "you're welcome" or "i am so so so sorry"

[greenpixiehair]

NO, THIS IS THE PART WHERE YOU LEAN BACK REGALLY AND SAY "WHY YES, YOU MAY WORSHIP ME IF YOU WANT"

AND I DO WANT

No but seriously I haven't even gone to the chapter yet I'm too busy browsing this over and over. So many bits to love, so little space in this comment. Pepe - a drunk, or possibly an angel OH MY GOD. YES. I love it all. I love the little thing you did there with Cesc's secret and Fernando has none. I love that Beckham is a trophy wife. I love that MARADONA IS A TALK SHOW HOST. I love every single piece of casting to death. I love Xavi. No, really, I just love Xavi. I love that Rahm is the goddamn artistic director of the Washington Ballet you mad genius.

I adore everything you've done with Messi so far, especially.

I am going to read the first chapter now, if I can calm the fuck down enough.

[dorkorific]

oh GOD i really hope you like it. I wish I had your subconscious, man, it is clearly a fucking genius. ALSO I did not know if you were de Barça or a madridista, not that it matters, but as a madrid fan I kind of know more about those guys and I tend to focus on them. but I love so many barcelona players, so I hope I do them justice. and oh, messi. he's such an adorable little badass.

alsooooo if you have any other requests? like, I don't know, pairings, or players I haven't yet included? I feel like as the OP you have special dispensation on this one and I can always use a nudge.

IDEK.

"Mesut Özil & Marcelo. Two interns, both alike in dignity" = ridiculously funny to me.

Amy Gardner as the President??? GAAAAH

DBeck as the trophy wife?? NO WORDS.

Looking WAY forward to this tonight with some wine and frozen pizza. WAY.

Might I respectfully suggest your inclusion of Natasha Kai in this fic? She's the beautifully tattooed offensive spark of the gold-medal US Women's Soccer team. She now plays for SkyBlue FC in New Jersey. She's from North Shore in HI and was one of only two openly gay/bisexual athletes for the US in the 2008 Olympics. She never officially "came out," as far as I can see, but referred to her ex-gf regularly. She's also a Mormon... Um. And LOOOOOK.

[dorkorific]

omfg i love her already. DONE. i thought about including that in the thing actually, like "do you know more players that should be included here? SEND THEM TO MY FACE" but then I didn't but you MAGICALLY READ MY MIND ANYWAY. And with pictures!!

I kind of think she is an ex-lawyer who now owns danny agger's tattoo parlor and is his fellow blogger/lesbian-hetero lifemate. but who is she dating? is it jess from bend it like beckham? is that going to lead to ~*~DRAMA~*~ when jules resurfaces in her life? IT MIGHT.
