It's a pleasant suprise to see that there is someone else who wants to write such a retro pairing. I'll have a think and see if there's anyone else that I can write.

oh jeez, I'm sorry, I was at work and trying to sneakily edit the page while my boss wasn't watching - that is your signup, no worries, I'll fix it in a sec!

[postmodernpippo]

No trouble, thanks a lot

[5thofficial]

this is judgment upon me for trying to do fun things at work, clearly XD but I'm not really sure how I managed to mix you and cheryl up in my head! sorry again about that.

Catalonia, Victor Valdes/Andres Iniesta, slash

they did in fact play exactly one match together for the senior Catalonian team, even though Andres is not actually Catalan. taking the letter of the law to the limit, like a boss! XD

[nahco3]

I think taking on the idea of Catalonian identity would be really cool, especially through the eyes of someone like Andres who isn't Catalan, but maybe you didn't realize how much fic has added up for these guys! on footballslash there's I think 79 tagged things for Xavi/Andres and another four tagged Andres/Xavi, which is pretty impressive, actually.

[meretricula]

...I'm not writing about Xavi though? (Xavi wasn't at that match, it was during the 2004 Euros.)

and lol you give me way too much credit, I just want to finally write Victor/Andres sexytimes. XD Andres is old enough! finally!

[nahco3]

hahahaha wow this is what happens when I stay up for like 30 hours in a row, I forget how to read. XD

Victor/Andres sexytimes are great too! I am also excited to read about those.

Belgium, Thomas Vermaelen/Jan Vertonghen, slash

has anyone ever seen/read/written this pairing before? I can't find one and thought that someone would have written them. But then again, I guess I'm fond of weird pairings....

[looneyluna]

How has someone not written this? I needs to be written.

[wh_mermaid]

IFKR? I looked through the tags on fbslash and there wasn't one for Jan (or else I'm blind) and I was like :OOOOO

[louis_quatorze]

never seen it, but it should be!

[fandomonymous]

time to push away from my comfort zone!!!!

USA, Juan Agudelo and Clint Dempsey, gen

[nahco3]

so so excited for american fic

[5thofficial]

you're all set! you don't really have to worry about changing to slash, just make sure it's clearly marked as whatever it is when you send in the final version.

I am so so so insanely sorry, but real life has decided to become completely obnoxious, so I will have to drop out. :( :( all my sadness!
