(no subject)
My god, I don't know why I go to anon-memes occasionally. It always leaves me feeling desperately sad and like I should probably never write again. And they aren't even talking about my stories! WHAT. was I thinking. Too thin-skinned for the internet, I guess.
What else, what else. I spent a fair chunk of today sitting with my hands pressed to my mouth as I read A Month of Sundays by
kelfin, and wow, what a story. FAIR WARNING: it is a WIP where 3 out of 4 chapters have already been posted. It's hockey RPF about Erik Johnson of the Colorado Avalanche, pairing with his team captain Gabriel Landeskog and it's SO SO SO GREAT YOU GUYS. This isn't even my team. I have no attachment to these guys. I had to google Erik Johnson to get the kid's basic bio. The author takes us so far inside Erik's head you almost can't see the outside and it's just ENTHRALLING. I kind of want to cling to the author's leg and say, "TAKE ME WITH YOU. WHEREVER YOU GO TAKE ME THERE."
There are a few stories that just do that to me, where the reality the author makes is so compelling I just want to live there forever. This is by no means a complete list, but in a quick scan of my (super-inconsistently-bookmarked) pinboard account, I came up with these favorites:
going up flying, coming home by
antumbral (Sidney Crosby/Jonathan Toews)
Julia Roberts Sits on a Throne of Lies by smithereen (WIP) (Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews)
Anger Management by
joatamon (Brendon Bollig/Andrew Shaw)
Stories sticking to your skin by
linaerys (Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews)
What are other people's favorites?
Holy shit did Chicago just get a power play goal? WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE.
