Downloading! I like watching figure skating, but I've never read fic for it. *curious*

I hope you'll enjoy it - this is my favorite skating RPF story :)

I told you that I thought this was super cool, but I wanted to tell you again how amazing I think it is that you did this. Thank you so much, you did a lovely job.

You're very welcome, thank you for allowing me to read your work! It's very gratifying to hear that the author likes my podfic :)

OH MY GOD SOMEONE ELSE POSTED FIGURE SKATING RPF, AND EVEN BETTER IT IS EVAN/JOHNNY!!!

YOU ARE MY NEW FAVORITE <3333333333333333

(I totally have at least two Evan/Johnny pods in the works. It brings me great joy that my FS RPF podfics will not be sad and lonely in their fandom tag :D)


I'm a bit behind on my podbooking, but I am SO gonna have to podbook this one! I will try to get the cover done ASAP. :DDDD

Yay, I'm glad you're doing some too! I was kind of shocked when I realized there weren't any yet! I'm hoping to do a non-genderswapped Johnny/Evan at some point, because the dynamic is SO different when they're both men.

I think cybel just posted a podbook for this, but it's not like it's bad to have more podbooks, so if you'd still like to make one, that would be lovely :)

Yay, thank you!

I've never read any figure skating rpf and this was really cool, I kind of wish they really *were* girls:)

[exmanhater.livejournal.com]

I really love how their dynamic totally changes because of how gendered figure skating is as a sport! It's probably my favorite thing about this fic. I'm glad you liked it :)

[dodificus.livejournal.com]

See, I don't know *anything* about figure skating, except obviously I know who Johnny Weir is because *everyone* knows who Johnny Weir is. But it was kind of sad because I guess I'd figured, if you couldn't be a gay figure skater then when the hell *could* you be gay?

[exmanhater.livejournal.com]

It is sad, but I think figure skating is even more homophobic than most sports, because the "manliness" of the sport gets mocked or teased by those outside of it, and so the leaders of the sport police everyone's gender expression even more strictly. Like you can be gay, but you can't "flaunt" it like Johnny does :( (even though he mostly, you know, just acts like himself, but apparently that's not manly enough for the USFSA!)
