Fan Fiction: Boyfriends XXXI (Warning: Long Load)

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!

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)

Any bold has been done so by me and any [italics] in brackets has been added by me, not the original authors.

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!

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.

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!

[Beth2000]

With Mano and eilaram on vacation this place has become quiet. I miss them. I wished they would hurry up and get back here.

I enjoy reading y'alls stories.

while I was away on my trips. Great stories. Congrat to Tiger and all the fans on this board. All your token sacrifices paid off . It would be very exciting if he continues to win all the grand slams next season. I wish I knew earlier that Mano was vacationing in San Diego. I was there last weekend. I'm back home now and planning a weekend to visit El Segundo ice rink.

BTW, I wasn't planning on desserting this thread. Had to take a couple of trips out of town. I only posted my disclaimer before I left so no one would be disappointed in case I couldn't fulfill some of your friendly requests. Don't worry about offending me. I have Klingon exoskeleton.

WOW, you are really going to El Segundo to watch MK, please give us a report, and if you have a chance to talk to her tell her we MK forumers LOVE her. Please watch if she is wearing a pair of rubby earrings.

Are you a Tiger fan too? I am so proud of him.

Yes, Skatingfan, I'm a fan of both Tiger and MK. However, all you bfffers would surpass me in the FANDOMSHIP . I rely on you for all the news.

Definitely going to visit Healthsouth Center sometimes in Aug. Hope I'll recognize MK should I run into her. I'm notorious for not recognizing famous people in person. Stood shoulder to shoulder w/ Lisa Marie Presley at the China Club once and didn't even know it's her until a friend pointed it out. Also clueless on a few other occasions. The good new is that, after I recognize the person, I don't have reservation talking to that person. That's probably b/c I have no concept of social status.

This was Skatingfan's "tryout" to be a BFFF writer from last summer. Enjoy!

FAN FICTION MUSICAL
Date and time: 9 pm on 7/7/99. Michelle just celebrated her birthday with her family, Frank and Lori. The COI tour was an enormous success. Everyone is talking about the standing ovation she received in every city. She saw Frank, Lori and Karen passing a cd back and forth, talking, laughing and looking at her in an amusing way.
MK: What is going on.
Lori: Tossing an idea about your next season's program(s).
Mk: And, what have you come up with.
Actually Michelle already knew, because Karen told her about it earlier. Frank and Lori thought "One More Time" was a huge success, but they knew it took a lot of effort on Michelle's part to portray the loss, and mourning of love that is required by that song. After all, in her real life she has never experienced the loss of love. "EVERYONE LOVES YOU" said Karen. So for next season, they think she ought to embrace LOVE, instead of mourning about it. Karen told her Lori picked up a cd called "the romantic hours". There are many pieces of music set as background to poetry recital. There is one sonnet by Pablo Neruda recited over a violin concerto by a 20th century composer called Gold Coin, or Gold Corn, or something like that. And Lori thinks that is just perfect for her.
Karen: Here take a look.
MK: You are not talking about the Gold Coin violin concerto are you?
Frank, Lori and Karen all said," The composer's name is Korngold."
MK: Another poem program, Kristi did that last season.
Frank: This is very different from Kristi's. This one is about..
MK: Embracing love, I know, Karen told me.
Lori: Give it a try, listen to it tonight and let me know.
Time: 1 am 7/8/99
Michelle finally finished unwrapping presents from her family and fans (she had been doing that for 14 hours). Buried among the presents is a cd, she picked that up and put that into a cd player. OK, Lori says it is good, I will learn the music and know it well.
The cd began with a gentle female voice reciting the sonnet
And now you are mine. Rest with your dream in my dream......
Love and work should all sleep now..................
No one else's love will sleep in my dream..............
No one else will travel through the shadows with me...............
ONLY YOU............
as the sonnet faded away, violin music that is light as air appeared
Michelle's mind is transported away from her room. She sees him now. He is sitting on an easy chair reading a book. She is very familiar with his face. She has seen that 10000 times in her mind, and many times on tv and in real person. Yet this time is so different. Usually there is the loud noise of fans around them. Usually he is in action, almost literally cutting his opponents into pieces. This time there is such a quietness about him. Just reading a book. He turns around. Michelle expects to see his handsome face, but this time there is more, there is a tear in his eye. Michelle is totally surprised.
What are you reading, Michelle asks. The biography of a CHAMPION, he answers.....
So much for my musical contribution to fan fiction. So producers am I hired?
<hr width=400>

BTW, if anyone has any new stories, they can be posted also. (hint hint)

Someone posted on the Yahoo club site that her sister saw PK on Saturday in Malibu at some restaurant called Gladstone's. He was apparently there with a "red head model type", a older guy with spiky hair that "looked like a coach", (Anyone heard of Ron Wilson?), and "what seemed to be his wife".

This is the url if you want to see the post for yourself: clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/aya...ariyaplace It's under "Kariya Sighting".

Warning though, MK is even less liked there than the #9 forum.

And here's the url for the restaurant: www.gladstones.com/

I have been posting here forever with you, I am still confused at times. So my ?s

1. can you give a link to the #9 forum, I jsut want to go there and look, BTW, I only post in f.s. and MK boards, I don't even post at Tiger Woods boards, so no fear that I will start something there.

2. You mean #9 forum, and this yahoo place know about BFFF, and they have written that they don't like MK? What a mean bunch, sorry can't resist. Do you ever see the guys here at MKF writing anything bad about PK?

3. It is hard to write any fiction stories without much news about PK, and MK.

4. Have you always been a PK fan or did you become one b/c of BFFF?

5. Did Mano really post a BFFF story at fsw one time?

Anyhoo, so the flavor of the month is red, we had brown and blonde before, maybe next month will be black shoulder length hair tied in a bun. I bet this one will stick forever and there will be little swans and ducklings................

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> 1. can you give a link to the #9 forum, I jsut want to go there and look, BTW, I only post in f.s. and MK boards, I don't even post at Tiger Woods boards, so no fear that I will start something there.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

This is it: disc.server.com/Indices/4959.html
Nobody has posted anything in about 2 months, and anything about Michelle in much longer.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> 2. You mean #9 forum, and this yahoo place know about BFFF, and they have written that they don't like MK? What a mean bunch, sorry can't resist. Do you ever see the guys here at MKF writing anything bad about PK?<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

The #9 forum knows about BFFF and lots of them were real upset when they found out about it. Remember the troll that posted at MKF saying Michelle was too stupid/ugly for PK? And the other PK fan saying that PK was engaged? You can reread it in BFFF Chapter XVI: pub1.ezboard.com/fmichell...ID=7.topic Anyway, they were real upset and had lowered themselves to bashing MK re the Olympics.

I can't be sure if the Yahoo club even knows about BFFF, Mano will have to tell you that since she is the one in the club. I know they were way upset when the SI for Kids came out and Michelle and PK's pictures were next to each other. And they were real mad when they saw that true Fanfair pic. There are a lot of Mrs. #9 wannabes at Yahoo and I think they feel that Michelle is a threat to them. So they bash her and call her names.

BTW, the worse anyone said about PK here is that they didn't think he was a good match, or they were sick of hearing about him, or they want to be Michelle's man, not PK.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> 3. It is hard to write any fiction stories without much news about PK, and MK.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Yep. Maybe someone can make some up.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> 4. Have you always been a PK fan or did you become one b/c of BFFF?<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

I first heard of PK when Mano was talking him up on Jenny's old message board and I was the one who posted asking who the heck PK was and why was he supposedly good for Michelle. So Mano posted some links to some of his fan pages and I checked him out. Then when people were wondering who would be a good match with Michelle and PK's name came up, I jumped on the bandwagon. (I like his hockey playing too.)

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> 5. Did Mano really post a BFFF story at fsw one time?<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Yes, during 99 Worlds when MKF was down and we had that temporary MKF, Mano started a topic called "Chemy, Yingshan, and the rest of the MK forum fan fiction club" or something like that. Some of us posted on the thread and wrote in codes. That's why that story I reposted of hers referred to #9 and #8 instead of Paul and Teemu. We made sure what we were writing about wasn't too clear to any outsiders.

Actually, now that I think about it, Mano started that topic because they showed a 1 second shot of Michelle, PK, and Teemu from the Fanfair in a MK fluff piece and we had to talk about somewhere. Remember their skates were touching slightly?

BTW, one of the PK fans reasons why he isn't good for him is the age difference. I would love to drop the news of Michelle's sister and Pete Oppegard and that their father is apparently all for it. :evil :evil :evil

LP, thanks, a trip down memory lane. Ah...., I remember the old Jenny boardm, and Mano advocating for PK. I particpated in that discussion too, my #1 choice for Mk was 008, that was before Joanna.

So that troll was from #9 board. Why are there so many female #9 fans who behave like that. BTW,
Tiger's board don't have those kind of craziness.

LP, one more question how did you format your answer to my question fsw and rssif style, i.e. you are
able to repost my message and add your own?

I will go out on a limb and say that Michelle would have a better chance of becoming PK's woman than all of them added up together. I think they find her to be a very real threat to them being PK's future harem, so they have to make nasty comments about her and pretend they are going to beat her up. BTW, someone posted the link to BFFF and they all threw a fit. I mean, none of them had the guts to come to BFFF and say anything to our faces, and the ones who did either lied to us or acted as if they had no home training. I doubt PK would want a wife like that.

BTW, it's just simple HTML. You put and around whatever you want to be italicized. And you put to make something bold and to underline something.

So, skatingfan would become <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> skatingfan<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->
skatingfan would become <!--EZCODE BOLD START--> skatingfan<!--EZCODE BOLD END-->
skatingfan would become <!--EZCODE UNDERLINE START-->skatingfan<!--EZCODE UNDERLINE END-->

I received an autographed picture Teemu and one of Paul in the mail yesterday (strangely those are the first autographs I have ever gotten...I never would have guessed that my first autographs would be those of hockey players)...so my tape must have arrived there...

Eilaram that is too funny, LOL why does PK need to include #8 just to acknowledge he received a
package from a fan? Thanks for the news, I had a very tough weekend, and this news put a big smile
on my face. BTW, can some one spell #8's last name for me please?

Now we know who will definitely be #9's best man in the future.

Eilaram, that is so funny. ROTFLOL!! Let me ask you something. Was the autograph picture of #8 in a 3x3 size colored postcard? That’s the same one I received when I sent the HOC book to #9. Hahaha. I bet the Administrative Assistant at MD automatically stuff #8 postcard into the envelope. And was the envelope an 11 x 8.5 size brown envelope? Oh, this is too funny.

Skatingfan, I like your idea. Pick up your guts and do it. I just email you the info. By the way, #8’s last name is Selanne.

Fellow BFFF, isn’t it time to send something as a follow up of Eilaram’s tape? I have two copies of the USA Today Chevy Ad with 6.0 in her second Hands costume. Another alternative will be the People Mag 50 Most Beautiful People issue. But then I want to keep that magazine for myself. I don’t have an extra copy.

mano, sharon, yingshan,chemy. how have you all been? LP is LP and as usual is doing her job diligently. Must be because YS is paying her extra.

The pictures are not exactly postcards and are 5.5x8.5 and the envelope was brown but 9x12

The MD was not in the best of mood, because there was no progress in the past 6 weeks. Since mom
Filip encouraged him to "do something about it", and "pick up the phone and call her". #9 found out
that trying to reach the perfect 6.0 was almost an impossible task. She could never be reached by
the phone, and there was not even a voice mail. He tried to call Shep's office and received the
run around of the century. That lady at Shep's office kept treating him like just another fan. "Miss
Kwan is exceedingly busy, if you write a letter to our address, we will forward it to her, no
gifts or packages please, she is just too swamped with gifts since worlds, to think about it she has
been swamped with fan mail since she was 13 y/o." At times that lady was extra annoying, " Oh, so
you are the Mighty Duck, she is the SWAN QUEEN..., oh no I can not tell you the exact details of where
she is, but since you are such a huge fan, I will do you a favor and tell you that she is with Chris this week." When PK asked her who is Chris, she only said Chris was perfect like the swan.

Of course the most comical thing happened when those Kings people kept asking him to sign on. He dropped hints of wanting to see the facility and 6.0. "Show me the Kwan" he said, and they could only
show him the money.

The MD found himself sitting in front of a computer at the Ducks head quarter,
mapping the distance between Anaheim and El Segundo with the yahoo maps. (He still does not own a computer) According to the driving
directions the 38.3 miles trip will take 44 minutes. "That is not far." he said to himself.
"What is not so far?" asked his coach.
#9, "nothing"
Craig, looked behind #9's shoulders, " What is in 555 N Nash street?"
#9 , " The love of my life."
Craig, " Oh, is the ice over there better than the pond ice?"
#9, " I wish the swan is at the pond."
Craig began to worry that he would lose #9 to the Kings, " We can bring some swans to the pond if that will make you happy, yes swans are the most graceful in the www."
#9, " I am happy here."
Craig " I am serious Paul, any salary, bonus, fringe benefits they offer, we can match 10X."
#9, " I am not thinking about money at all coach."
Craig, "Then what are you thinking about son."
#9, "Just in search of my perfect match."
Craig, " I know this past season we were a bit slow, but no one matches your talents better than Teemu,
believe me, I have been in this business for decades."
#9, "Yes, Teemu is the best friend, best team mate, and he said he will be my best man someday."
Craig was LOL, " Glad to hear you are thinking about that, usually it is like pulling teeth trying to tear you
away from your work out and practice just to have a little fun. Meet me for lunch tomorrow at Gladstone,
I will have a surprise for you."

PK knew that Craig was trying to casually bring along a neighbor next door, or the baby sitter for his
grandson etc, those model types always bored him to death, but out of politeness to his coach he accepted the invitation, and of course a lunch at Gladstone was difficult to turn down.

---------------------------------------------
Well Beefers, this is the best I can do, with no MK news, and the PK news of the red head, and I am exceedingly poor and need the paycheck.

A poster wrote on the Yahoo PK forum wrote yesterday about the redhead, "He is NOT dating Lauren Wilson, who is Ron Wilson's daughter, she's not a model either". She said not to ask her how she knows these things, she just knows. I don't know how reputable this person is, but it's some news.

BTW, Ron Wilson isn't the coach of the Ducks, Craig Hartsburg is. Wilson must be some other coach. Good story otherwise.

Thank you, skatingfan. BTW, the redhead is not Lauren Wilson:

<img src=http://www.geocities.com/attest.geo/redhead.jpg>

I scanned eilaram's autographed Teemu pic (wink wink--fiction). Thank you for sharing your story...hmmmm...something strange the signature....

:-)
<img src=http://www.geocities.com/attest.geo/teemu.jpg>

Ok so who is RW. I have a need to cross ts and dot i's. I will go back and sub Craigs
name for RW.

hey guys! welps, i just got back from japan! i found something really interesting while i was there....i met this figure skater (she's only a little girl) and i asked, "do you like michelle kwan?" and she was like "yeah!" and 3 other people i asked there said yes too. but somehow (i DON'T mean this to be bashing) they didn't know tara lipinski...i think that they knew her face and that she won gold, but not her name...but it also could've been miscommunication since i don't speak japanese....anyhoo, i missed reading about PK and MK...i thought of you guys everytime i saw piyo piyo though! pleese keep on writing! buh bye!

I'm back too. Okay, I wasn't really away. I still read here most of the days. I'm just too busy to say anything. Ron Wilson used to be Duck's coach. His contract wasn't renewed or something (mano would remember this better). He was immediately hired by Washington Capital and got into Stanly Cup final in the first year. He has good relationship with Paul. Paul was not happy when he was fired. The two has been in touch with each other afterwards. He's like a "second father" to Paul, according to some reports.

You know a lot more about Ron Wilson than I did. All I knew what was in the Yahoo post. So I guess you don't have to change your story, SF.

If any of you saw a thread I started about a small mention of Michelle in a non-skating newsgroup, I wrote that someone on a Hello Kitty newsgroup saw Michelle in a Sanrio store. Piyo Piyo is a Sanrio, right? Maybe she wanted to increase her collection.

[mano]

I'm BAAAAAAACK too. Can't believe it coincides with Yingshan's, that's bad timing, have to work on that.

Anywho. Okay, truth is, I did extend my stay to San Diego until Saturday August 5 which means I've been back in NYC since last Saturday...however, the Lotus' leafs effects didn't wear off until today and thus forgot I have internet access still. Actually, also took this whole week off from work too so I was home in Flushing contemplating life and the Universe and prozac withdrawal. Yeah, it was nice to be back in NY, but a bit depressing in a way.

Hilights of my trip...enjoyed San Diego, the sun, the beach, week away from work, visiting relatives. Lowlights...leaving San Diego, the sun, the beach (I didn't get tanned, not even close, like my skin doesn't even know the meaning of the word tan and the sun was wearing shades due to its rays reflecting off my pasty skin. Oh to be blessed with Michelle's coloring), week away from work (no money) and visiting relatives (couldn't tell you how many eyes rolled everytime I asked if we could go to LA to visit Michelle Kwan's rink.)

Thus, didn't get a chance to go to LA, which means no El Segundo para mi. No Kwan sighting, no Paul sighting nada. I wish I could say that my silence from MKF and BFFF the past two weeks was because I found out that MK/PK together was true and that I had to make a vow of silence to not say a thing else the next headline news says, "Body Found Floating on the East River". Am I morbid or what.

The closest I got to LA was enroute to Sin City, Las Vegas, where my relatives and I got to stay at the new Venetian Hotel. I didn't gamble 'cause I'm not lucky, but had fun sightseeing and visiting those "All you can eat" places. My cousin won me a cute Picachu backpack at one of the games in Circus Circus so that was cool. BTW, Las Vegas is unbelievable these days. So many new "super Casinos" meaning you got the gambling but also have other family friendly entertainment such as amusement rides and other stuff so you can lose your money in other ways. It was a cool 112 degrees in the shade so that was nice. And even there, the sun wouldn't give me the time of day and give me a tan. Well, at least I made sure I wore SPF 30 to protect my skin from them bad UV stuff. Don't leave home without it 'cause I have too many moles that might mutate. Can't have that. Did I ever tell you guys the constellations were based on my moles? I have Orion on my left arm alone.

Okay, missed all you guys. Nice to see that Michelle visits Sanrio stores...don't recall Piyo Piyo being their product though, but they might be selling it there. I bought Piyo from a Korean store that sold a lot of Sanrio stuff. But cool to know littlepebbles. BTW, thanks for keeping this place afloat.

Eilaram, can you tone down your excitement a bit in your post about getting TS and PK's autograph picture. People might think you're obsessed or something. Sheesh, and I thought I was bad. But seriously...details, details, details. How do they look in those pics and did you do your "saliva on autograph" test to see if the ink runs? Just so you know it's not the printed massed produced pic, but recently signed ink ain't dry yet real deal autograph. BTW, did PK's signature have a "6" instead of his usual "9"?

Chemy, LOL on your new pics. Sayang, walang tsismis. Translation, no gossip. BTW, always thought Michelle looks good in red.

Welcome back A-chan and Acoma. You both were missed.

Skatingfan, cool story. Mom Filip still cracks me up. BTW, eating the usual chicken for Tiger.

Magenta, LOL, I was thinking of your TS pic when I read eilaram's post. IIRC, it took them a year to give you anything after you sent Michelle's book. As for sending something new...maybe we should wait until way after the laughter at the Ducks Organization dies down.

[mano]

I read Leunatic's translation of the Chinese article on Michelle's autograph. Basically states that Michelle's hasn't changed much since she was 14 except maybe for the K becoming more "C" like. Anywho, I noticed the pic (circa 1999) that went along with the article and noticed something that made me go hmmnnn...

<img src=http://www.chineseworld.com/publish/000807/12_0900.4h/4ha(000808)02-6.jpg>
Last I checked...that K looks more "P" like.

Heard sometime last year:
"Michelle, that's the 9th time you wrote Michelle loves Paul instead of signing your autograph on your pic. Better be careful else we might accidentally send that out to a fan."
"Oops, sorry Shep, won't happen again."
***

Oh, eilaram, wonder if you can scan your 8,9 pics and share the wealth?
