a meltdown on ice could be very traumatic. Especially if you don't swim.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I miss ice skating, damnit. I was, er, more power than grace, but I was very small at the time.

I didn't like The Cutting Edge. I kept nitpicking it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Well, that the level of skating was Olympic worthy was laughable. But once you got past that, it was a cute movie. Plus, quotable. Also? I really like Kelly, and Sweeney, too, at the time.

All sports movies require that your disbelief be suspended high above the earth, else they crumble and tumble and fail to entertain. I think I've had this discussion in Movies about Men With Brooms, too.
"Toe pick!"
However, the side effect of watching The Cutting Edge (other than a ficlet) is that now I really want to learn to play hockey. This is probably a bad thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Outside of He Got Game, I can't think of a sports movie where the lead actor had the right amount of talent. It's a thing.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Okay, I need some help.
Plei and I have written this AU in pop, and need a beta. Is anyone willing to give a go at RPS? I don't need a canon beta, more of a grammar and does-this-make-sense beta. I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Oh, I could suspend disbelief about the quality of the skating. It was the physical impossibility of that fancy throw move (Pamchenko?) that took me out of it.

Always Anti-fascist!
More Band Candy at: [link] You're right, Deb. Couldn't top that last part...this is more comic relief or something.

There will be more Sunrise tonight, sometime after Sunset.
Annnnnnnd.... I'm in the home stretch. It'll be between 31000-35000 words completed, I think.
Will need a couple betas.
