I didn't really *get* that first fic of luxover's until much, much later. Now I think that she's a genius. The first rps fics I read were recced by meretricula on crack_van. At first I read the ones that featured characters from the Spain NT, and then I decided that Leo Messi was pretty neat... and that's how I became a fan of FC Barcelona! True story :P.

It's weird, there are so many players I don't like at all as actual footballers (e.g. C Ron); but omg cannot stop reading them slashed with anybody. What is up with that? lol

Hahahaha, me too. Although reading about them makes me feel more sympathy towards the actual footballers. And writing about them even more so.
