A SKATING FANDOM PRIMER
OR: WHO ARE ALL THESE FIGURE SKATERS APPEARING ON MY FLIST AND WHY SHOULD I BE READING ABOUT THEM

Choosing the pictures was the best bit! I had to restrain myself from putting in too many.

And ooh, thank you for the recs! I am constantly lamenting the fact that there isn't Johnny/Stéphane fic. How can you not want to write about them, seriously?

The orangeness of Evan puts me off D: idk, I just do not see it and I think Evan is kind of ugly >_> I AM SHALLOW, I'M SORRY.
But the pretty and the bitchy and the glitter and the squee-factor of Zebraswan is just. ♥♥♥♥!!!

I kind of stopped halfway through compiling their section and just admired their PURE AND BEAUTIFUL LOVE. It also gave me an excuse to watch all the videos all over again.

This post is amazing! I always love primers and intro posts. ♥

Thank you! I do too, and usually I'm the one who arrives in fandoms really late, so it's nice to be able to spread the love for once!
