I dont know if you could call it 'a lot' but there definitely is a fair amount of PK/Carey fic I think. Or maybe just because theres one epic (It's Complicated - cant find the link right now), that kind of scratches the itch for me as far as they're concerned.
I havent seen much femslash, although at some point someone did a pretty awesome primer about women in hockey, starting from way back when. There's also a fair amount of always-a-girl fic, but it tends to live in comments a lot (comment stalking pays off a lot in the Hockey-RPF circles). A lot of it is pretty awesome, and some of its ends up on AO3 authored by mardia.
Threre's also some Mike Green/Brooks Laich fic, most of it just isnt very good...
I just realised one of the main problems is that most writers only want to write fic about teams they support/like/follow somewhat, so that means that finding variety can be quite hard.
Ooh, I would definitely be interested in that women in hockey primer! I will have to poke around for it.
The thing about people only writing fic about teams they support is really interesting, because I feel sort of the opposite, and some other people at the panel said the same thing - I find it difficult to care a lot omg about a team winning, and also about shipping people on that team. TOO MANY FEELINGS. But I also don't ship anyone on teams I actively dislike, so. I have some kind of uncanny hockey fandom valley going on.
:D thank you for the Rangers link! I will check that out. :DDD
So I opened this post and then...I realized that every link except the Avengers fic and the ones under Hockey 101 were purple for me. /o\ Fics and vids. Oh hockey fandom.
There has been some greaaaat genderswap. I love the whole NHL Ladies verse! But not that much femslash, you're right. And more Mike/Brooksy yes pleeaaase.
There was an interesting article on Puck Daddy yesterday about You Can Play and coming out, actually! I dunno if you saw it?
That article was very interesting, thank you for the link! My theory is that no current players will come out until some retired players have (and if it goes okay for those retired players), although I do really like that "no first guy" idea.
I like the genderswap fic, especially the Erica Staal ones. I should reread some of those. HMMM. Also, I had never seen those Caps Cribs vids before but at the end of them, I was like...yep, I ship it now. :DDDDD Oh, hockey bros. So great.
