How are your favourite sports going, nonnies?
Anything weird happening in sports RPF fandoms? Want to discuss your latest Geno Malkin/Alex Ovechkin masterpiece (with Ovie as a bottom for once)? How cute Grigor Dimitrov is in a sombrero? If Michael Sam's going to be drafted, and by which team?

At least your living room is warm. I have eaten a lot of frozen lunch that was not intended to be frozen at Target Field in the last 4 seasons and after last year's snow games I am just giving up.

My current pet peeve - people writing international players as if they're simple/unaffected/childlike/stupid because they don't speak English fluently

I think it just shows more with non-native speakers, since the broken English correlates with the childlike/stupid stereotypes. At least in hockey, the other players aren't actually written as any more smart or deeper than the Russians when the manic pixie Ovie trope isn't being employed, but it's just really obvious when they sound like three year olds.

Ugh, it'd be bad. And she's so awesome, it'd be doubly disappointing. I love her to death.
I do wish women's tennis RPF was a thing, though. I want all the Sam Stosur fic, and Jelena Jankovic, and Genie Bouchard/Laura Robson, and rivalry-fic between Serena and Maria and Vika, and just. All of it. Ugh. And none exists. :'(

I'm not a Reds fan, but I am rooting for Billy Hamilton so hard! I just love seeing someone who's really special and gifted at a particular facet of the game that's not pitching or hitting homeruns (much as I love good pitching and appreciate homeruns), and I love small ball.

I am a Reds fan and I mourn the loss of Shin-soo Choo so much, but I do hope Billy can ramp up his hitting game and get on base a lot and we can watch him GO! He seems so enthusiastic, it's adorable.

That's true. I hadn't really thought about it like that.

I'd love women's tennis fic too. ALL OF IT. Everyone you said plus Caro and Aga and Ana and Sloane and etc...
