Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

* Upper Canada Films announced The Hockey Player, a feature documentary following Luke Prokop, the first openly gay hockey player under contract in the National Hockey League. Link to announcement on Prokop's insta

* The newly acquired squid's immigration process is taking longer than expected. He might be out a few games. This really sucks because we suddenly have an opening on the line he's expected to be on. One of our players took a boot to the face. Hopefully he's doing okay, but he's going to be out for a bit. Teams are very secretive about injuries so no idea how bad it is.

* D&D has licensed it's Forgotten Realms world setting (the setting with Baldur's Gate in it) for a romantasy book by C L Polk coming out in June.

That looks interesting. I haven't read any C L Polk.

* Goaltender Interference by Ari Baran - This book was recc'd to me so much. I read the other Ari Baran books in order to get to it, and then I didn't like it much.

I am very glad I read the other books. Ari Baran's stuff is still the best hockey m/m I've read outside of Rachel Reid's books. But yeah, this didn't do it for me.

I've heard that a popular m/m hockey book had name choices that are very distracting if you are a Kraken fan. Well, found the book! Unlike a certain other situation also involving squiddy names, I am very sure this was unintentional. But wow, the name choices threw me out of the book a few times. That made it harder to get into, but I don't think a F&R on the names would have helped much.

If you notice the phrase 'Buffalo Pothole Bandit' in there, I believe that's the name of a street artist who has done two 'residences' here doing guerilla repairs of streets and sidewalks. I think know where one other fill is, but I haven't made it out there. Some of his repairs are illegal road repairs, and I do need some shots of this literal street art.



Video of a pan and zoom onto that little picture.



Been a while since I've seen a fairy door. This is a cell phone grab I got out and about. May grab a better shot later.

Fandom: NCS (New Captain Scarlet)
Characters/Pairings:
Captain Black|Conrad Lefkon, mentions of Scarlet|Paul and hints of Destiny|Simone. Conrad&Paul, past relationship: Destiny/Conrad.
Rating & Warnings:
T (PG/PG-13)
Estimated Fic Length:
Currently around 700 words long; will possibly get longer (hopefully not over 5,000 words long)
Notes: 
I wanted to experiment with using the word it as the character would describe itself as such; trying to separate itself from the identity of a former friend of the protagonist despite having his body and face. The fic is written to be almost like a soliloquy, but it's mainly written in third-person for that word usage.

It would help to have some knowledge of the show and characters I'm writing about, but it's not a requirement to know it like the back of your hand (inside and out; that kind of thing).

I need a second set of eyes for grammar, and seeing if the prose is getting too flowery/repetitious/formal. I feel like I also tend to tell too much rather than showing, and I worry sometimes that the "voice" doesn't sound in character. Also, I feel like something is missing to complete this fic (but what though?).

Either way, I hope I'm not asking for too much, and any help is greatly appreciated! :D

* Stream for Oops All Goalies game tonight will be here. Starts in about 2 hours from when I am making this post.

* Newest squid is NCAA path and minored in theater? He did contemporary dance to round out his minor? Huh, we might only have him until the end of the season, but he could be interesting if he sticks around.

McCann is claiming they are putting McMann next to him in the locker room and are also putting them on the same line. We are trying to figure out if he is kidding. He doesn't typically kid, he showed an emotion in front of the press once in Vancouver over a decade ago and is still paying for it. But also McMann being a first liner is not what people are expecting. We'll see in a few days.
