@ ace merrill. - Aww, we stole him from you! He's done so amazing here so far. And I love the accent. I got a Neal jersey last year and then they up and traded him. I'm afraid to get anyone else but Crosby because it feels like the minute I buy it, they'll get traded.
Paul Martin is probably an oddball choice. He'll be 34 this year and is a defenseman. I think he played for the Devils before the Pens. He's from the US--Minnesota, I think. He just strikes me as an interesting person. Not really shy, but quiet and introspective and humble. I gave his girl a little twist to her story that isn't evident until a few chapters in.
Downie is a ex-Flyer that's playing in Pittsburgh. A classic trash-talking enforcer who gets under people's skin and loves to fight. I think they pretty much snatched him up to have Crosby's back and he's doing him job wonderfully. I think my obsession with him has to do with getting underneath the bad boy/tough guy exterior.
I feel like there are so many guys that I want to write and I just don't have enough time!
Dude, I notice that you write stories about players who aren't as popular in the fanfiction community, and I love that! I had no idea who Brooks was, and when I did I'm just like I can't wait to read the story when it's posted!
Yeah, like we have Gazdic, he's our fighter, and he's just great. On the ice he's pretty much made a name for himself, but off the ice he's like a giant teddy bear.
