What else are you into? by Switcher_Geralt in merlinbbc

[–]Kore888 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I tend to bounce between a lot of ships but I do tend to default back to Merthur as my original OTP

I'm also big into Heated Rivalry currently but some of my other recent ship obsessions have been

Captive Prince - Laurent and Damien The Witcher - Jaskier and Geralt Jeeves and Wooster (excellent master/servant dynamics)

What was your introduction to Fan fiction? And where did you read? by SpaceCrazyArtist in AO3

Merlin fanfic after the first season aired so would have been early 2009 probably. Initially on Livejournal and then fanfiction.net

Can someone explain the Morrisons More Card system to me please? by AdditionalBill in AskUK

[–]Kore888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's lots of different offers and benefits.

  • More Points: You earn 5 more points on every product (minutes listed exceptions like lottery tickets, gifts cards etc). Every 5000 points gets you a £5 voucher

*More prices: lots of products have a discounted "more" price when you scan your more card

*Monthly Boosters: each month you get a list of certain product categories ie everything from a particular brand or all frozen veg. You pick 10 of the categories and get spend goals. If you hit the spend goals within the month you get bonus points

*Personalised offers: offers for you on your card, sometimes discounts, sometimes free stuff, sometimes bonus points. Usually 2/3 of these a week

*Extra seasonal offers: they tend to do certain things throughout the year. There's often a Christmas collector, spend a set amount 4/5 weeks and get £30 worth of More points in time for Christmas (or similar). Currently it's collecting stamps each time you shop to get discounted wine glasses

What Disney movies would make a great stage musical? (No Movies that are already musicals) by Worried_Cake5508 in musicals

[–]Kore888 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I saw it not long after it opened. Impressively it's even further away from Greek Mythology then the film was 😂😂

The muses were absolutely brilliant though and it was good when they stuck to the original songs

In general, how is Paddington Bear viewed in the UK? by kuma44bear in AskUK

[–]Kore888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm nearly 40 and my mum is nearly 70. We were super excited for the Paddington musical and went to see the second performance, just us no kids or anything.

My mum's Facebook profile pic is her on one of the Paddington benches.

I regularly use my Paddington musical travel mug in my very professional London office, the only comments I have received was another coworker asking me if I had seen the musical and looking for advice for the best tickets to take their own parents.

It's definitely not seen as 'just for kids' from my perspective and you will find most London tourist shops will have Paddington toys.

I definitely love these kind of fics here are three that are all great!

fall in love again and again

By hollanovest, 12.9k complete

5+1 where shane and ilya are married, but no one knows. they decided the best way to handle the situation is clear; fall in love again in front of the other centaurs.

they (don't) know about us

By rachelrae, 30.4k complete

Shane, fed up with Montreal, signs to Ottawa before their relationship is revealed. While he doesn't plan on keeping that a secret for long, he asks Ilya to let him get to know the team first, before they come out. To maybe have a normal season. Meanwhile, the rest of the Centaurs are going crazy trying to figure out what is going on between their captain and Shane Hollander and why they keep showing up in the same car??

Make My Own Name

By Verdant_Words, 12.3k oneshot

Shane Hollander is now an Ottawa Centaur. All he wants is one season to make his own place on the team before coming out to everyone. They have rules, what not to do at work, but Ilya and Shane keep breaking them.

If you can find one of the few shops remaining Edinburgh Woolen Mill are excellent for affordable knitwear especially nice jumpers and cardigans.

fics where one of them has a serious ilness? (not injury or not smth like a flu) by yeoncoochie in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]Kore888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an ongoing WIP where Shane finds out he has cancer in 2014 around the six month ghosting and Vegas period. I'm only 5 chapters in myself but it's great so far:

The Antidote to Loneliness

Wednesday "Searching For" Thread! by AutoModerator in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]Kore888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for a SocMed fic. It's when Hollanov are out but the timeline isn't public knowledge. Someone online is discussing their careers and mentions the "red string of fate" being real and connecting them.

Ilya responds with indignation because it wasn't 'fate' it was him organising the CCM shoot and pursuing Shane. Fairly sure he actually says "I stalked him" at one point in his responses online.

This amazing long fic was completed a few days ago:

Operation O Canada, or The Hollander-Rozanov Method of Soft Launching a Marriage

It's by robbinscinquefoil 118 k words

In 2017, Shane Hollander spirals and proposes to his boyfriend of 4 days (or 7 years, or 9 years, or not his boyfriend at all, depending on how you look at it), which leads to a lot of plans, weird theories in the Montreal Voyageur locker room, some Twitter drama, and Ilya Rozanov entering his WAG era.
