Fan Fiction: Boyfriends XXX (Warning: Long Load)

[littlepebbles1]

First off I would like to ask that since the BFFF threads always have lots of pictures in them, that if you have a personal pic or banner in your signature to please refrain from posting it more than once in a thread so that it doesn't take the thread as long to load. Thanks a lot!

The required elements

BFFFers' Ten Commandments by Yingshan
10. You shall not put forth any KFC around MK's temple where we worship.
9. You shall put the success of our production above your personal gain (no whining about pay)
8. You shall do everything to further our causes, e.g. sending PK a MK's book, hinting of MK when you can talk to PK, no matter whether it makes you a laughingstock.
7. You shall not nominate any guys for MK lightly (You shall do a detailed background check before mentioning it here). Our girl deserves the best.
6. You shall not be vulgar in any creative writing or picture splicing.
5. You shall not throw yourself at any guy who we consider a good match for MK no matter how attractive you find him to be or how close you get to him. This is a non-competitive clause.
4. You shall not mention any BFFF outside of this thread, especially not in any PK Forum.
3. You shall have a sense of humor.
2. You shall not mistake any writings here as "news".
1. You shall bow to the high pristess's wisdom at all time! (Should be optional if you ask me)

For first time visitors WELCOME. This is 100% fan fiction. Fan fictioners agree to start a new chapter whenever the thread grows to 80 messages long. We also agree to never discuss this fan fiction material outside of Fan Fiction Land, i.e. we do not post any of this in rssif, FSW, or other threads in this MK forum etc. [Or the PK Forum] Fan fictioners are in the process of producing a play on MK and PK - Paul Kariya the captain of Mighty Ducks. The genius writer is Mano, contributing writers are Kooky, Yingshan (who is also the set designer), Wonder, A-Chan, and Littlepebbles. Chemy is the photographer. Magenta is the ultimate matchmaker, and the rest are managers of this co. I come here just to chill out. Sometimes we refer to MK as 6.0 b/c of the unprecedented # of perfect 6.0s she earned, and PK as #9, he wears #9.

Yingshan
To New Comers: Welcome to our fantasyland! The purpose of this place is for us to have some fun with our favorite skater: Michelle Kwan. We weave fictional accounts and speculations into very skimpy facts. So you'll be in serious trouble if you take what we say here seriously. And everything we say here are for your and our eyes only. None of this should be repeated elsewhere on the USNET, e.g. RSSIF, FSW.... [Or the PK Forum!!!!!]

We're creating a romance novel/movie script. It's temporarily named "Ice to Ice" (I like "Icy Affairs" better). The leads are Michelle Kwan ("6.0") and Mighty Ducks captain Paul Kariya (#9). No, we don't know whether there's anything going on between them. We pick them to write because we think they make a perfect couple. [And not only because they're both Asian, or Asian and 1/2 Asian!] The main screen writer is Mano. I'm the producer/editor. My partner in production is Magenta. Chemy is our photographer. Wonder is my co-editor. Skatingfan is our sound whiz. Blizzard is our art director. Kooky and annabelle are on our contributing writing team. Littlepebbles is our director.

Welcome to stay and watch our creative process. But please obey our confidentiality rule. We don't want our brilliant ideas being pirated.

One More Criteria.....
for anyone who wants to read here:

YOU NEED A SENSE OF HUMOR!

Mano
Do not adjust your monitors, you have just entered...the Boyfriends Fan Fiction Zone (AKA BFFF)

If you are feeling lightheaded, dizzy, and see Michael Jordan back with the Chicago BULLs (pun intended), you must STOP, click the "Back button" and seek medical attention quickly.

If you happen to have a good sense of humor and realize that this is truly 100 % PURE FAN FICTION, then welcome to our humble abode.

Remember, we are not responsible for any mental injuries that might occur upon seeing the fictional stories and pictures. In other words, enter at your own risk. However, we do offer BFFF Life Insurance. Ask one of our agents for more info.

Without further ado...(drum roll)
May I present the stars of the show...
Paul Kariya [<font size=-3 color=CCCCCC>not GPB</font>] and Michelle Kwan (Standing Ovation)
[ALL REAL (except PK's right hand in pic #2)]

As the photosplicer responsible for the above pics, Chemy, would say "You are now in BFFF channel"

The above disclaimer was paid for by the Friends of Michelle & Paul (AKA FOMP) a non-profit (and I mean non as in non-existent, right Yingshan?) organization.
===========================
This is LP here:
Not that PK fans aren't welcome, they are as long as they don't show up trolling, send threatening e-mails, or go running back to the PK forum bashing us and Michelle. Cause unfortunately all that stuff has happened. Hope everyone enjoys our antics but watch out for Yingshan, she bites sometimes!

[mano]

I don't get it...why is it a long load??? Okay so I'm at work and we have super fast connection here, but the info is the same as the previous chapters so what gives?

What's better for Michelle than an Armani suit,
What else, a hunky duck in his Birthday suit!!!

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> mano makes like Forrest Gump and runs<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

[littlepebbles1]

That's the suit he wears to birthday parties, right?

It's not any longer than the others, but I thought I would warn any newcomers. I know on my computer, with the required elements and spliced pics, it takes a while to load.

[skatingfan]

You never have to worry about me, because I am computer iliterate , and I will never have personal pics or signature lines or banners.
LP BTW who are the 2 people in your personal pic, and what happened to your dancing dolphin.

[bearpaw]

I am really sorry that this story has been so late in coming, but things have been very sad and tough at work and I have just not had the heart. I promise that I am working on it now and will post by the end of the weekend. Anyway, lets just think about all of things that Michelle has done in our fan fiction land ... ( I think there is a theme. )

She has played hockey in disquise to fall into the arms of our favorite duck.

She has been wined and dined at many restaurants only to fall into the arms of our favorite duck.

She has been the topic at golf games. Of course, to tease our favorite duck.

She has been to Disney land, to the beach ... of course with our favorite duck.

She of course been to many hockey games to cheer on our favorite duck.

She has even gotten into trouble trying to tease our favorite duck by coming up with devious plans.

She tried to escape to skate at an out of the way mall. And you guessed it - she met up with our favorite duck.

She has been skating her exhibition program at Anaheim and who should be waiting in the wings ...

I believe that she was even talked into wearing a championship ring! Of course it did take some scheming!

I believe that the BFFF's were even talked into tutoring so that Michelle could be with her Duck!

And even when somehow, this Dave guy snuck in, Michelle still knew the true path back to the Duck.

Whew. She has been busy. I hope you enjoyed this partial trip down memory lane. Story to come very soon. I am thinking tomorrow.

[littlepebbles1]

Dumb board.

Anyway, I said in a couple of other threads that the 2 people in my pic are Michelle and Derrick Delmore and that the credit was in my signature and that I took the dolphin off because I wanted a change and maybe I would put it back later.

<--
****|
****|__See my new title!

[skatingfan]

I thought the pic is Delmore and MK, did you splice that ?
Can you believe the last chapter has over 1000 views?

Bearpaw, who is this Dave guy, did I miss a story?

Have you been reading since chapter one?

You missed my debut as a writer here.

I wrote that she was unpacking the tons of gifts for her 19th Bday.
It was so tiring she felt asleep as she was listening to Erich Korngold's violin concerto
and dreamt of the Duck. And what was the Duck doing in her dream? He was
day dreaming about her. I know it was convoluted, but that sample writing got
the OK from the High Priestess. See, now I get a pay check from time to time.

Please take care of yourself, and take the time to relax,and don't let our job
over burden you.

[littlepebbles1]

The picture was in Skating Magazine. From 2000 Nationals(?). Heather probably has it on her page.

BTW, I figured out how you can indent if you are writing stories. You write "<!--EZCODE BOLD START--> *<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->" (including the & and and it is the same as hitting the space bar. <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> *****<!--EZCODE BOLD END--> will give you 5 spaces, and a bunch will give you an indent. But you have to have your HTML box checked and the ezcodes and emoticons and convert url boxes unchecked.

[mano]

for the trip down memory lane. Put a big smile on my face which was sorely needed. BTW, don't worry about the story. If you didn't notice, I'm still the only one being crispified around here. I'm like the token sacrifice so if nobody writes stories or produces pics, crispify mano.

BTW, Yingshan, now you can write "High Priestess" under your name as your custom title.

Skatingfan, Dave was from Littlepang's story. He's the guy who wrote a song after hearing about CNBC's gaffe about Michelle not being American. Hope that juggles your memory banks.

[bearpaw]

Awe you are so sweet Skatingfan. Of course I was one of the originals! Unfortunately, I only had time to go back about 6 or 7 threads and a couple from memory. (I love to read and joined in the Harry Potter craziness tonight!) I was so afraid this would happen. And by the way, I remember your story now! It was great!

Anyone else with trips down memory lane from the early chapters would be most welcome!

With work, I know things will get better with time. Two weeks ago they gave 10% of our workforce pink slips. I ran the entire stream of emotions from being scared to death that I was next, to relief when it wasn't me, to being sad for the people who were leaving (3 REALLY good friends.) to feeling guilty for still working. You get the picture. It just sucks! However, things are slowly starting to settle down.

I can't believe that we still have this topic going after all this time. We really are dedicated aren't we.

[skatingfan]

Nice memories.

Bearpaw, hope things work back to normal pace for you.

I remember all these stories well.

BTW, Mano you are the fiction writer supreme, you rule, every body here knows that.
And talking about endorsement, Wall street journal said you are among the top
female fiction writer in terms of endorsement, beating out your fellow BFFF
writers. You have the best image.

Now, I bet your ego is way up right? Not so fast. Talking about tokenism. All that is
just tokenism from white corporate America. You don't even know you are part of this
scheme. It is all a conspiracy among the usfwa (us fiction writers association ) and
the all evil press. Your family is like teflon, nothing bad your family has ever done
stick. It is all a conspiracy. Remember the honor that was given to you at the Florida
governor's mansion? You were chosen to give a duck suit to the Fl governor's son
Bushy, bushy? It was not a majority vote from your peers, it was cooked by the
uswc ( us writers committee). It is all a conspiracy.

All I said is the absolute truth, I have insight into these things better than King D.
If you don't like it, take it and smoke it in your duck sauce.

BTW, have you checked out the King's R&R ( rantings and ravings) at our favorite world?

[yingshan]

Here is what's said in LA Times:

"If July 7 is your birthday, you are introspective, sensitive, loyal, at times display remarkable psychic ability. You have been disappointed more than once in love life. The future in this area will be brighter. Pisces, Virgo play major roles in your life, could have these letters, initials in names: G, P, Y. Possible change of residence, martial status in August. October your money month."

Interesting about the love life bit, isn't it? G, P, Y...hmm, who can that be? I can think of two candidates at this moment.

skatingfan, you're talking in codes again. I can't figure out what you're talking. What's the deal with the King R&R part? Tiger is on right now.

bearpaw, hang in there. Things will get better. I've been there.

Mano, you're the only one who got crispified because you're the only writer who got a huge advance check! You haven't fulfilled your contract obligation yet. Okay, how could I post my official title underneath my name? I need to post a crown or a big hat like the Pope wears.

My web site construction is painstakingly slow. BTW, does anyone know a good host site? I want to use my own domain name - bridaldesigner.com. What's a good site with good S. California traffic that allows domain names and the fee is reasonable? Help!

[littlepebbles1]

It obviously means "A <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> G<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->reat hockey player named <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> P<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->aul Kariya can be <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> Y<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->ours".

What SF means by tokenism is that Mano's ugly, but the magazine used her instead of a perfect beautiful white fiction writer because they just wanted a token Asian/ethnic person to round out their list.

The USFWA carefully constructed a deal with the press and Mano's family back when Mano was just a little girl writing her stories with magnetic letters on her little chalkboard. And the deal was to make Mano look as good and perfect as possible and stomp on any other writers no matter how much more talented and AMERICAN they are. Plus, they pay all the baby book writers to write bad stuff in their books so that none of them will take Mano's bestseller status away from her. Don't you know that everyone who reads Mano's stories are just idiots that have been brainwashed into believing that Mano is worthy of anything good. They are just being obedient Americans.

You know Mano's parents beat Mano and all her siblings and they quit their jobs and force Mano to pay all their expenses and if she tries to decline, her father gives her a good beat down. That's why Mano's nose is so big, it's permanently swollen from all the times her father punched her.

You know the USWC was mad at the perfect REAL American writer, so they picked Mano for the honor just so they could snub the PRA writer. You know the PRA writer is perfect, she has the Pulitzer Prize while Mano only has a tarnished prize. That's why PRA should have gotten the honor and Mano shouldn't even have been invited. She's always stealing things from PRA. Her PRA mother tried to tell everyone the truth at the Florida governor's mansion, but nobody believed her.

King D got banned from MKF because he did nothing except cause trouble here. He hangs out with Queen R.F. now, who used to post at the Mano Forum pretending to be a fan of Mano when she was burning Mano's books in another board at the same time.

Yingshan -- I looked on Yahoo for web hosting and I found this list of services in LA: dir.yahoo.com/Regional/U_..._Wide_Web/ And this list is from Orange County (where you are, right?): dir.yahoo.com/Regional/U_..._Wide_Web/

Also, many of the free website providers (Tripod, Free Servers?) also provide websites where you can have your own domain for a price. So you might want to look into that also.

[yingshan]

Thanks so much, LP! Wow, these many companies. How should I choose? Yes, I'm in Orange County. Your comments about G, P, Y and Mano are funny. George P. will fit two out of the three letters. I just want to see Extra Crispy turn a shade of red.

[skatingfan]

Yingshan, sorry, I assume everyone here goes to fsw. King D ranted and raved
about tokenism, I was so very steaming mad,, I was actually
almost in tears, and since Mano said that she is the token
sacrifice here, i brought that up . Anyhoo, feel better now.

Looks like Tiger has some major work to do tomorrow just to place in top 10.
Short of a miracle I don't think he can defend the western title.

BTW, guys and gals, Venus is great, and she has to beat Hingis #!, and Serena
and Davenport for this title.

[yingshan]

Littlepebble, Chemy or anyone else who's web literate. I know this is a dumb question but I can't find anywhere in the book that teaches how to work with thumbnail image. I'm using MS PhotoDraw for image editing and Front Page for webpage building. In PhotoDraw, I can save an image as a thumbnail. But when I inserted it in the web page in Front Page, it doesn't work as I thought a thumbnail would work. The bigger image didn't appear. Do I have to insert the bigger image on another page and then build a link between it and the thumbnail image? In other words, are thumbnail images working as buttons? I can't believe neither the Front Page book nor the Photo Draw book mentioned this.

skatingfan, I don't think Tiger would make it back either. His putting was way off. Sorry, I don't visit FSW. I don't like that place.

[littlepebbles1]

I don't have MS PhotoDraw or Front Page, but from what I think you are saying, yes you have to insert the bigger image on another page and then build a link between it and the thumbnail image. I don't know how you do that in that specific program, but I do know the HTML code would be

<a href=http://www.yingshan.com/biggerimage.jpg><img src=http://www.yingshan.com/thumbnail.jpg></a>

The basic code to link something is <a href=url of link>title of link</a> Since the title of your link is a thumbnail picture, you would put the code of the thumbnail where the title goes. The code for an image is <img src=url of image>

And by demonstrating with Piyo Piyo, it will look something like this:

<!--EZCODE CENTER START-->

<!--EZCODE CENTER END-->

Just pretend Piyo Piyo is a little smaller.

You click on the thumbnail and it takes you to the bigger image. I don't know how to put links in your program, but I think in Netscape Composer, you highlight whatever you want linked and select Link, a thing pops up and you type in the url and click OK and it is linked. If your program works something like that, you would drag your mouse to highlight your thumbnail and then click Link or what ever you do to make a blank come up and then you type in the url of the bigger image.

See, I don't know how your program works, so I might be explaining this wrong. I hope it helps a little.

I rarely go to FSW anymore, I got sick of lots of the people and most of the stuff about Michelle, all they have to do is copy and paste 99% of the stuff they say because it's all the same thing. (Kind of what some of them accuse Michelle of doing)

[yingshan]

I thought there would be a magic button that can set up the thumbnail for me. LOL. Thanks for the explanation, LP. Yeah, I can insert links easily in Front Page. But I have 15 sketches and probably another 10 pictures to set up. My website will have lots of pages with so many layers. I'm glad you stay up so late checking in.

Yeah, I don't like the atmosphere of the FSW. Call me weird. I prefer rssif.

Hey, how can I be only Olympic Silver member? You guys are my witness that I've posted more than 200 posts in BFFF land alone. I don't even visit any other ezboard. LP, I like your title. I thought of using "96 Producer", but I like "The High Pristess" better.

[skatingfan]

You don't need us to witness for you, just click onto your name
you have 653 messages. Please tell jenny about it.

[bearpaw]

Well, I am not sure where I am going with this story yet, but I hope you enjoy part 1.

El Sequendo, CA 2020

Michelle yelled up to her 12 year old daughter Kristen Irina, “Come on honey, we are going to be late.”

Michelle took a moment and looked around her beautiful home and smiled. She had it all. A caring, tall, dark and handsome husband and a precocious, spirited daughter, beautiful home and a wonderful job coaching. After winning the gold medal at the 2002 Olympics her life had taken an interesting turn. She met her future husband and Mighty Ducks hockey star, Paul Kariya.

******************

“Daydreaming again,” Karen asked Michelle as they were doing some last minute Christmas shopping in December of 2003.

Michelle answered, “Guilty. I just don’t know. I just feel that there is something missing from my life. Going into Salt Lake City, Frank would have been very disappointed to find out that anything had distracted me from skating with the exception of my time away for school. I didn’t have time to develop any serious relationships. There were a few dates here and there, but when you don’t have the time to work at it, it is so hard.”

She sighed. Karen grinned because she had been waiting for this opportunity.

Karen looked at Michelle. “I’ll tell you what. Lets get dressed up and go out to the finest restaurant we can find. You’re treat.”
Michelle laughed. It sounded like Karen all right and Michelle agreed.

Later that evening, they had just finished with dinner and sipping some of the best wine in the house when who should walk in but Paul and Teemu. Michelle noticed them walk in, but went right back to discussing school with Karen until she realized they were headed right toward their table.

“Good evening, Michelle. May I have this dance?”, asked PK while handing Michelle a beautiful yellow rose.
Michelle was stunned, but said yes. She had met Paul a few years back, but had no idea he could be persuaded to be here tonight. She went to the dance floor after giving her sister that look that any sisters know so well! While Michelle was dancing with Paul, Karen and Teemu took to the floor. They had a fabulous time and afterwards went to a coffee shop with Karen and Teemu to continue the evening. They had so much in common being athletes who were in the spotlight and on the ice. They were also very intelligent and enjoyed the spirited political and other discussions. At 2:00 in the morning, the gentlemen escorted Michelle and Karen back to their car, where Paul pulled out a single red rose. He told Michelle that he had a great time and would like to see her again. Michelle’s heart raced as she agreed.

A year later, they had a Christmas wedding.

***********
“Here I am mom!, “ Kristen said as she brought Michelle back to the present.

Michelle and Kristen were going to meet Irina Slutskaya.

[acoma]

I read some of your stories, and can't help but laugh. I don't consider myself a hopeless romantic, but after reading this thread, I do feel a bit like one. I guess the world does need more love and less conflicts. The irony is that love does lead to conflicts in many cases. But, if I'm right, it'll never happen here.

In any case, your stories are very well written. I enjoyed reading them. Mano, I hope you are a professional writer. If not, you've seriously missed your calling.

[Beth2000]

Okay y'all I am back and it seems that I have missed some good stuff. I had to read to catch up on things.

Mano loved your little poem. Again you put a smile on my little fat face Thanks.

[mano]

finally another story, yipee!!! Great stuff Bearpaw and they have a kid...but...one kid only??? I would have had them have 20 or something to go along with all our names and I'm kidding. BTW, interesting name you chose...isn't that the middle name of an Olympic Gold medalist? If it is, talk about letting bygones be total bygones.

Awww, thanks Acoma and welcome to BFFF. Yup, hopeless romantics the lot of us. Me especially. You know I just watched the Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis (when he used to be hunky) and I'm still bummed the sister and the hunky Native American died. If I was the author, I would have titled it "The 2nd to the Last of the Mohicans" so everybody still lives. BTW, regarding the writer stuff...thanks...I guess I was sleeping or something when the call came so I missed it, story of my life. Lots of great writers in this place though and it sure is a refuge from the daily grind of work, school, etc.

Beth, welcome back. You were missed. Nothing much happened, just Yingshan making me permanently steaming red because of her constant mention of a certain Bush. BTW, I made like Tonya Harding over the weekend and trimmed the hedges in our garden. Yingshan, you should have seen me go at those bushes, but my Black & Decker hedge trimmer conked out on me, go figure.

Littlepebbles, you know me so well, LOL!!! Skatingfan, keep your head cool over there at FSW, no use getting mad there when a couple people's mottos are "2nd place is the first loser and silver tarnishes and gold lasts forever." Yeah, I feel sorry for their kids...hope they'll do us a favor and get neutered.

BTW, regarding PM D('cause King is just bestowing too much honor on one who doesn't deserve any)...easy, for to me that poster doesn't exist so whatever that poster says doesn't affect me. In this case, total ignorance is complete bliss. If you notice, I wasn't the only one who gave him the cold shoulder.

[Beth2000]

Mano. You mean you whacked someone in the knee with your clippers Just kidding I know you wouldn't do anything like that.

skatingfan just for you I have taken the personal signature off Oh yeah don't get to angry over at FSW it isn't worth it. We know how you feel about Michelle and that is all that matters.
