Hockey RPF fandom poll!

Over on Twitter, people had questions about hockery RPF fandom folks, so we put together a poll. (When in doubt, TICKYBOXES. That is my motto.) If you've read/watched/listened to hockey RPF fanworks, please come take the poll! (And if you know anyone who's in the fandom, please tell them about it, too. Some data good, more data better.)

I can date the day I feel into hockey fandom *precisely*, because I just have to go see when you recced my My Siberia. Everything since then has just been sliding in deeper and deeper.

Here, have a PK.

It's so rare that I actually get to point the finger and have blame someone else for my descent into this madness rather than the reverse. It's kinda enjoyable.

PK's everything is a delight forever and ever, amen.

Name the person you blame/thank the most for getting you into hockey.

I mean, I suppose it depends on how many times you want to see your own name up there. ;P I really feel like hockey fandom spread like a virus though, infecting one fangirl after another.

I think it might be tricky to get all the way back to Fangirl Zero, because I get the impression that a lot of the pre-2010 hockey fandom people have drifted away or gone to their own corner of the world to do their own thing and so aren't around so much (or at all) fandom-wise these days. Though maybe some of them are still active on twitter/tumblr (I cannot speak to this as I have both of those but never seem to get around to using them).

But you could definitely identify some key infection points, which would still be fascinating.

LAKE. LAKE AND HER FUCKING SOULBOND FIC. She is the master at it. The day that came out I was like "THERE IS A HOCKEY FANDOM?" and then I thought about it and was like "of course there is, if we write about soccer players, there's people writing about hockey players."

But it's all Lake's fault, too.

Yep, that would be you, as much as I can call myself "in" the fandom. :-)
