via [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge's RFM: The very first issue of Plunge Magazine is now online! This ezine focuses on genre literature featuring queer women and was funded through a Kickstarter campaign last year. -- http://www.plungemagazine.com -- The theme for the first issue is "Women and Mythology." The ezine includes six amazing pieces of art (plus a sample gallery from the cover artist on the 'About the Artist' page under 'Front Matter'), five short stories, three poems, and two pieces of flash fiction. The topics range from ancience Egyptian, Greek, and Japanese deities to old family stories and personal idols. -- Additionally! Submissions for the ezine will be opening on March 1st. The theme for issue 1 is "Chase(d)." All genres welcome. Must feature queer women (including trans, ace, and the rest of the quiltbag). Anyone (queer or not, female or not) may submit. Guidelines are on the site.

FIC: Extra Curriculars by beatperfume, riadsala, & shoemaster -- Hockey RPF AU -- HS & College AU, read it even if you don't know who anyone is :)

Last night, Netflix was like "here, you wanna rewatch Goon" and so I did (I watched it months and months ago b/c Ash said to, so it's totally unrelated to my current interest in hockey) and I was reminded that I want ALL THE DOUG/XAVIER FIC EVER. Sadly there isn't much that exists.

Always Be Found by coeurdepic -- gen, and oh so cute

Two Man Advantage by carolinecrane -- Doug Glatt/Xavier LaFlamme -- Eva's a nice girl, but she's not big on commitment, and it turns out that's exactly what Doug's looking for. He's just been looking in the wrong places all this time. Nobody ever accused him of being smart, after all.

Real Fucking Hockey Players by alex smith (rinoa) -- Doug Glatt/Xavier LaFlamme, Doug Glatt/Eva -- Xavier's not stupid. He knows that hockey has its fair share of bromances - when you spend your days traveling and bonding and sweating with the same set of guys, it's pretty much inevitable. He also knows that what he feels when he looks at Doug isn't exactly platonic. It's not even bromantic or whatever bullshit term Evgeni and Oleg are cooing at him on any given day.

(i knooooow they are worst. but headcanon = they have a change of heart and begrudgingly accept their son's lives as what they are, and not what they wanted them to be! and then, acceptance and love and meddling!!)

(p.p.s. jay baruchel is like, one of my favorite people ever??? idk, i just love him. it's weird.)


(PPLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE we have so many thoughts and feelings about this scenario. SO MANY, TABBY. A MILLION THRILLION THOUGHTS.)

I imagine they do end up coming to accept their sons' lives, even if they never do quite understand hockey.

Jay Baruchel is a loveable little weirdo! I am in complete agreement on this!

(ugh. I will potentially write the Ian/Pat story IF after that I can write ridiculous kid!fic? Like, where one of the (many many) girls Xavier was with during his pre-Doug Shame Spiral (as Ava calls it) shows up with a kid that supposedly belongs to him, and he doesn't know what to do with a kid, and Ava doesn't WANT to know what to do with a kid, and Doug is ALL EXCITED ABOUT IT!! and so is his mom b/c she was thinking she was never going to get a grandchild. complete with them calling ira for help and he's all I'M A SURGEON, NOT A PEDIATRICIAN!)

(really. I hate you. <3)
