Ways Fandom Has Warped Me

Ways Fandom Has Warped Me, part 39 in a series: I can no longer watch mens' figure skating without picturing Joe Flanigan. No, really. I had forgotten about that fic, until my DVR started giving me flashbacks.

(Back to Olympics. You'll see me after closing ceremonies)

LOL, I figured icarus was to blame.

Thanks, btw. I managed to get through the men's short program just fine, but now....

[dragojustine]

Yup (those images were art done for icarus' story). I would go back and re-read Out of Bounds, except it's, like, 2 million words long. But that is all I can think watching it.

i really enjoyed icarus' fic. lol.

[dragojustine]

So did I! If I hadn't, I wouldn't be having weird flashbacks to it whenever anyone tries a quad jump *g*

[mornincamper]

I really really didn't wanna read it. And then I did. And then I was Hooked.
Figure skating will never be the same. (I'm not disappointed)

Hee! I KNOW! There was a great piece on Dick Button on NPR yesterday where he's all about telling the unvarnished truth. I had to personal message Icarus about it because I could only think about Rodney. :D

[ariadne83]

Me too! (Also, I can't hear the name Johnny Weir without wanting to giggle inappropriately)

[dragojustine]

The name makes me giggle only because of the endless repetitions of the "the 'd' is silent" jokes. But yes. *g* Come on! The man skated in a pink tassel and lace-up faux corset! I Approve.

[dragojustine]

I know! I resisted for so long, but it really wasn't a fic that needed to be resisted. So fun!

[dragojustine]

Hee. I kind of loathe Dick Button (he's just... pompous) but if I start picturing him as Rodney, that might change.

Or I might just give myself a headache. heh.

I wonder how many messages like that Icarus has gotten this Olympics? Must be a lot.

[green_grrl]

Listen to the story, and Dick is VERY Rodney-esque! Except that he's also willing to be effusive about something someone does well, which Rodney's not so inclined towards. :D

I haven't read that story yet, and it sounds like I need to. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
