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!

===========================
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]

Thanks for starting Chapter 29 LP!!! Anywho, to begin with, NO PK nor MK sighting at the Awards and I'm a happy camper 'cause we all know MK is taking a well deserved vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with sister Karen and PK is probably still hanging around Anaheim with brother Steve. They're with family, that's always a good thing. No brown haired girls, no BBT's so I'm happy tonight.

Okay, first up, the NHL Awards...sucked major, for lack of a better word apologies to any NHL fans out there, myself included. Thing is, I have last years Award show on tape and it was sooo much better. Guess it was because last year Wayne Gretzky was there after just retiring and Maurice Richard was still alive and they had Elle Macpherson presenting, Kristi Yamaguchi there as well as Smash Mouth (I think) performing...least I think it was them. That plus there wasn't any technical miscues and the patter writing was much better...didn't like the lady comedian, but the rest was good. They also had more star players in attendance AND, they had PK and Teemu presenting. Plus the camera always seemed to find PK, that was good too. Anywho, this year was just a patchwork and they just handed the awards with not much else going on. They need Billy Crystal I say. Here's to hoping next year's is better.

Skatingfan, I still say she's a Ducks fan. She did go to a pre-season game for the Ducks even though they were playing the Kings. I'm with LP's reasons though and NO, there is no way Disney is going to trade Paul to the Kings or anywhere else. He's a Duck and hopefully with Teemu, they'll win some Stanley Cups together. They're building the team around Paul, he's they're franchise player much like Yzerman is to the RedWings. Disney has to really commit themselves to the team though and I thought that they're wanting to sell the team last year affected the team and the fans. Why should fans care for a team when their owners don't. Maybe I should put this in the Hockey thread.

Anywho, can't wait to have the Blockbuster Awards on tape. Then we all have to wait until October for another MK sighting, sigh. Guess we all have to make up more fictional stories to keep us functioning this summer.

SHARON, we missed you and thanks for being such an avid BFFF reader. We love hearing from you from time to time so take care of yourself. Don't want to hear you getting sick again.

[Beth2000]

y'all have got me hooked reading y'alls things. I love reading them. Do I have to join to read them? Just wondering. If I do then I will join but if I don't just let me know.

[mano]

Just be yourself as MK's motto says. Don't have to write stories or splice pics to enjoy fiction land. But I think Yingshan does require you sign a contract with your blood, but that's about it

No, only the production staff needs to sign a contract. The *audience* doesn't. But do please leave a tip on your way out. Our talents are starving.

[Beth2000]

Well if I have to give blood y'all are in trouble b/c it will be like squeezing blood out of a turnip

A tip huh? Okay I have twenty-five cents. Is that a big enough tip Oh wait you mean if I hear a tip on Michelle. If I hear anything y'all will be the first one to know.

Eldrick shot a record setting round of 6 under par yesterday at Pebble Beach. The fog is holding up
his round #2 today. He should be at the tee like right now 7p ET. Beth if you haven't cook dinner, please
sacrifice some chicken or tofu, I really want Tiger to win this 100th U.S. Open this year. He is deserving, IMHO. Like Michelle he grew up in front of our eyes, and I am oh so proud of America's favorite son.

June 18, 2000, 3:00pm

I'm giving up on the slideshow since it refuses to work no matter what I do.

Time and place : 6/17/00, 8:40 p pacific time, 6.0 and big Kwan were at 6.0's apartment in El Segundo, they were watching 008's post third round interview.

Jimmy," 008, in 97 you had a 9 stroke lead going into the 4th, what can you take with you from that experience for tomorrow."
008, " Just one stroke at a time, that is the basics."
Jimmy, " At what point of time tomorrow, you can just relax and enjoy ......."
008," To honestly tell you the truth, I know it is good to soak in the beauty of it, but I have to stay in the ZONE............"

Both big Kwan and little Kwan were very proud of her adopted big sib 008.
6.0 thought, I must give my big sib a call tomorrow morning and wish him the best.

Time and place : 6/18/00, 9:30 a Pacific time and at a club house lounge at P. Beach.
008's gf J was so nervous about 008's 4th round that she had to watch Cherie's MK tape to calm herself down. 008 finished his morning practice with his swing coach and found J watching the Susie C's interview of 6.0 at Lake A. in 98
Susie C, "Now 6.0 at what point in your free skate do you think you can relax and just enjoy."
6.0, " After the finishing pose, I can not let go, need to take one element at a time. It is not like after I have completed a difficult jump I can say, I won, I won, I need to concentrate....."
J also watched Leslie Killer Hair V's interview with 6.0 after her sp at worlds.
Killer Hair V, " Now 6.0 what are you bidding for in the lp?"
6.0, " I need to bid to do everything just like in practice."
008, and J were very proud of his little Sib.

The phone rang, 6.0 was at the other end of the line. She wished her big sib the best for his 4th round. They exchanged some thoughts about their competitive experiences. Being in the ZONE was nothing new to them. They mutually wished each other the best for future competitions.

6.0 was rather quiet after the phone call, she was deep in thoughts. Big Kwan noticed that about her sister lately, even when they were having fun in Mexico, or having fun watching golf, there was something very dreamy in her little sister's countenance. 6.0 was thinking about someone who is about 5' 10", with black spiky hair, and a cute almost boyish smile in her subconscious mind. Big Kwan of course knew who 6.0 was thinking about even before 6.0 knew herself. Being the all wise older sister, Big Kwan decided to let 6.0 work this through and discover for herself. In the meantime they have to take another trip, the plane leaves in 2 hours for Toronto.

Time and place : 6/18/00, 10:00 a Pacific time, in the affluent neighborhood of Tustin.

Mom Filip, #9's cook, watched #9 sitting at the table with a huge plate of breakfast in front of him, and he was not touching it. His mind was miles away dreaming about a swan. Mom Filip detected a slight drooling reflex on #9. #9 had just finished watching Eilaram's tape for the 100th time since he received it yesterday.
Mom Filip said ," You have not touched your plate, and you are drooling at the same time, so do you like my cooking or not?"

I have to tell you about Mom Filip. She is a stunningly beautiful Filipino lady in her late 60s She emmigrated to the States 3 years ago. She is richer than #9, 6.0 and 008 combined. Mom Filip grew up in a very rich family from the old beloved country. She had servants, cooks etc waiting on her hand and foot while she was growing up. She loved spending time in the kitchen watching the servants preparing meals. She married, then became a widow at a young age. Her family lost the fortune in WWII. She had to think of a way to raise six children. Since she was such a good cook, she started a family restaurant. She put her heart and soul in the business, and of course her cooking became legendary, like works of art. The restaurant flourished. Before she knew her restuarants became an internationally famous chain. She sent all her children to the States for college and grad school. Gradually, they settled in the U.S. Mom Filip at first was resistant to emmigrate to the U.S., but she missed her children, so 3 years ago, she sold the business and moved in with her youngest daugher and son - in -law, who lived in Tustin. The sale of the chain brought in $ millions. Tustin has her share of celeb and interesting people. #9 lives there, T*da, 008's mother moved into the neighborhood (for real) not too long ago.

Mom Filip soon became one of the most well liked grandmother in the neighborhood. She enjoyed inviting neighbors to her house to eat. She was particularly fond of #9. The admiration was mutual of course, #9 loved to listen to her stories, and life's experiences , and Mom Filip's grandchildren are all #9 fans. Mom Filip was very nuturing towards #9, she invited him to eat almost daily. #9 finally asked if Mom Filip could cook for him. She agreed, but of course she did not need the $, so she had been donating all the $ from #9 to charity. It worked out great.

Back to the #9.
He was so absorbed in his day dream about the Swan, he did not hear Mom Filip.
#9, " Sorry, Mom Filip, my mind was elsewhere. What were you saying?"
Mom Filip, " I bet your mind was off somewhere. Son, give her a call, no use to day dream. You need to do somethig about it."
#9 was a bit embarassed, " Mom Filip, probably easier said than done, I ..........
Well for one thing you spoil me so much, I don't even know which restaurant to take her to if we go out."
Mom Filip, " Don't worry about the restaurant, Restaurant Mom Filip is here to rescue you. Now, I can help you with the food, but I can not call her for you. You need to do that yourself. "
All of a sudden things seemed to be clear as a bell for #9, he knew what he needed to do. He tracked down 6.0's phone #.

Time: 6/18/00 11 am pacific time.
#9 dialed 6.0's phone number, but no one was home............

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LP, I tried to lock onto your slide show and had no luck.

[mano]

Tiger must be inspiring you all over the place. Here's to hoping he finishes with a flourish today. BTW, it took me a while to figure out who's who on your story. I think the only one I was sure about was .008 at the beginning. I suggest you take it easy on the code, since we are on BFFF land. Code only applies to outside BFFF stuff, right? So it's safe to post names here. Oh, and LOL about PK's cook. Her name is Robyn in real life though, and I have no idea what her nationality is. Mom Filip, LOL, sounds like a Star Wars name...like Mon Mothma or something, PK would like that!!!

Your turn to write the next one.

BTW, which code do you not understand?
leslie Killer Hair?
Big Kwan is karen, and little Kwan is Michelle.
BTW, the followig are not fiction: the Susie Colber, Leslie Viser, and Jimmy Roberts interviews,
008's mother's real name is Kutida, and in short is Tida, she moved to Tustin sometime ago. Pop, that is what 008 calls his father and his mother according to SI are living in separate houses.
Jimmy Roberts is a NBC guy.
008's gf' s name is Joanna, 008 is 6 ft 2 " tall, I believe Paul Kariya is 5' 10" tall.
I love Mom Filip, I wish she lives in my neighborhood.

don't know if this will work for anyone else...when I clicked on the link all I got was black but when I copied http://quick78.tripod.com/slideshows/bfffsaga.rp and pasted in the location place on Realplayer and pressed enter I was able to see the slideshow

[mano]

from Kariya's Korner website. Mostly screencaptures from the '00 All Star game. Sometimes, this guy can look totally down right gorgeous that he and Michelle would make an absolute stunning couple. How they don't see it is beyond me. Anywho, have fun staring.

Page 6 then click on page 7 link for more pics:
hockeylander.tripod.com/paulpics6.html

was great littlepebbles~! i used the link eilaram posted~ a happily ever after story...*sigh* =)

[mano]

What usually takes me 1/2 hour - 3 hours to download at home, I can do it in two minutos. Anywho, downloaded realplayer at my work and pasted the url on the realplayer address bar (as per eilaram) and got to see the slideshow again and I said it the first time LP, it is the BOMB!!! I loved it then and I love it even more so now that you made the pics and the captions bigger. It is a trip down memory lane, isn't it? And we have to thank Chemy and the "baby" one from Amelia for all the spliced pics and for Littlepebbles for putting it all together with her excellent captions and direction. I smell a raise. BRAVA galore. BTW, I showed it to my co-worker and she said we all "are a piece of work" but she loves it and does say they look good together. Now if we can only convince Michelle and Paul...

Glad I could help somewhat

I had given up on it by now. I copy and pasted the link into the browser and I did get it to work. Here it is again:

<a href=http://quick78.tripod.com/slideshows/bfffsaga.rp>http://quick78.tripod.com/slideshows/bfffsaga.rp</a>

BTW, it left a slide out, during the ups and downs part, when I had saved it or uploaded it or something and it made the whole thing kind o confusing. I put the picture back and uploaded it again and hopefully it will work.

[Sharon]

WOW! I just keep getting these great gifts ! lp - major major major kudos to you! I loved EVERYTHING! skatingfan - I'm with mano, 008 must do wonderful things for you. I thought of you when I found out he won by 15 :b . Thanks for missing me mano! I'm just working working working, and it's really hard to keep up. I'm poppin' in when I can. I just hope I'm not missing any good stuff elsewhere on the forum. I always come to BFFF though !

[bearpaw]

Great start to your story skatingfan! Keep up the good work. I had to download realplayer tonight and will check out the slide show tomorrow. It sounds wonderful!

Welcome to the wonderful world of fan fiction Beth!

I really must work on a story this weekend. Hummmmm - I got it! Just wait until you see what I came up with.

Here is to answer mano and yingshan’s curious, nosy question at the MK chat. I saw our girl at the Lakers game last Monday night. I was so excited to see her seated at the stand. And being an honorary member of the BFFFer, the first thing I look was whom she was with. I was hoping to see #9 but the camera only showed a facial shot of her. She looks happy and is having a blast. Among the celebs shown, she was the only one who looks right into the viewers with that sweet happy smile. Funny to see her doing a little goofy dance. Do you recall during 1998 World Pro at the backstage, wherein she took off her sweatshirt and did a little goofy dance towards the camera and then cover the lens of the camera with her sweatshirt? She did similar move at Staple center while the camera was on her which just showed how much fun she is having at the game. Her hair was tied back like that style at 2000 Worlds only that the length is longer. I think it is 2 inches below her shoulder. She was wearing this huge hoola hoop earring, which we have never seen her wore. My guess was that her company was Karen and not our boy. Sorry to disappoint you all, coz I am.

Skatingfan, congrats to 008 for winning the US Open. Did you watch the post game interview at the Golf Channel? It was about one hour of interview!

[mano]

Nosey??? Pshaw!!! That word does not exist in my vocab, Magenta. I was merely wondering if other athletes like...oh...Reggie Miller (yeah, that sounds right) was watching the game besides Michelle. See, there was nothing under my probing questions out there at all. BTW, thanks for telling us about MK's goofy dance. I love how she did last year, it was cute.

Congrats to Tiger. I wish Michelle and Paul would develop that killer instinct Tiger possesses in droves...man, that guy just flattened everybody out there in the field!!!

Now looking forward to Bearpaw's story.

You go girl , were you actually in Staples? I say, you always go to the best events, Masters (Augusta) 99,
Masters? or was it Grand Slam in Green Bay 99, then you were at Lake Arrowhead 7/4.

I have been in a PARRRRRRTEEEEEING mood since Sunday. Tiger was awesome. U.S. Open is not supposed to be Tiger's kind of tourney b/c of the extra long, thick rough and fast green. But he proved us all wrong. Before the tourney, I was telling my friends Tiger by 3 strokes, and I thought I was being too optimistic.
Since Sunday I have been chanting while facing Windemere everday, " Master Tiger, I am not worthy."

As a Tiger fan I am glad he is playing golf, b/c there is no subjective judges decision, Ahh..........I have always said Tiger has decades to establish his legend, Mk only has 6 minutes on slippery ice. Golf , being an individual sport, Tiger does not have to play defense or rely on his team mates either. Mano, I agree tiger has killer instinct. I won't say Mk or Pk are lacking. MK is more consistent than any skater, and again her fate is in the hands of judges, and scores are subjective at times. Another thing is that I think Tiger's experience growing up, and having to deal with a lot of stuff makes him go for the kill with his club. Think about it when he was 6 y/o? some kids tied him up and wrote an ugly word on him. He later said, " no bitterness, it is not in my nature." The government golf course that his father played in kicked Tiger out when he was 3 -4 years old, for what, with the excuse /reason that he was too young. Tiger learnt to speak with his club since he was young. Remarkable young man who channeled his energy in the proper direction. Sorry, I have to vent and gush.

Thanks beefers for offering the chicken/tofu to the golf gods. I will be offering chicken daily between now and St.Andrews. British Open with the long wide course is supposed to fit Tiger's game better than e.g. U.S. Open, but of course he had not done too well in B.O. the past. I hope this year will be the year.

You wouldn't believe how much golf I watched this past weekend. I wouldn't believe it myself if someone told me years ago that I would watch a golf tournament for hours on end. I watched the whole 18 holes on Sunday, part of Saturday and part of Friday. Tiger was so awesome that I felt like bowing like those fans did along the 18th fairway. "We're not worthy!" The shot on the sixth hole on Friday was unbelievable. Did you see that? He musled his ball out of the fairway rough, over a hugh tree, up a hill, over the bay and onto the green. The ball traveled 215 yards. Because of the hill, he couldn't see the green at all. It's a blind shot and he had to deal with the tall tree in his path and the water. He got it onto the green! That was such an amazing play. He just got out of trouble with amazing shots after amazing shots. And the commentators would whisper before he putted: "Everybody missed right today." Tiger would then put the ball dead center into the cup. It was just amazing. His mom looked so proud and happy. They didn't show his girlfriend though. Report said she's there but no one recognized her in the crowd. Tiger is really buffed up, isn't he? He's much slender two years ago when I saw him in person in LA Open.

Magenta, mano and me nosy? This came from the woman who sent the HOC to #9? Thanks for the info. Glad to hear they showed MK on the jumbo trum. Too bad that nobody caught her companion. I told my sis about MK's appearance during the Lakers game. She's wondering how MK got her ticket. We figured the ticket was probably a gift from one of her sponsor. Chevy or Disney.

Beth, I meant "tip", money. We're all staring artists here. We need finanical support to keep our production going. No, 25 cents won't do it.

Mano, I agree. Tiger has killer instinct in droves. His concentration level and the competitiveness are simply amazing. He never let up during the four days. He never let his opponents back into the game once he had the lead. He's such a great finisher. I do think MK and PK can learn something from him, subjective judges or not. Yeah, British Open awaits. It will be something if he can clinch his career GS at 24. I'll probably watch that too. This is really not good for my figure, being a couch potato.

Where is Chemy? I'm still waiting for the final copy of my book cover. Sorry, I haven't gotten time to write chapter 3. Although I do have the plot line down.

[mano]

Like I said, killer instinct in droves as in FLATTEN (and I mean obliterated) the field to the point that they just wanted to toss out their clubs over the cliffs at Pebble beach 'cause they figured the fish had more of a chance to catch Tiger than they did. My fave part during the whole tournament was hearing Faldo (just plain cracks me up, that Harrison Ford twin), Price, Watson, Niclaus, Els etc talk about Tiger after the comp. They were just blown away the whole time and just shook their head 'cause they played in the same conditions Tiger did, yet Tiger hit practically all the fairways and his short game was phenomenal.

Anywho, THAT is what I want Michelle's competitors to feel after they get flattened by her at a comp. You know how they keep saying competition is good for Michelle and all that? Well, they said during Tiger's fourth round that Tiger has no competition, but he pushed himself. Tiger's goal was not to get a bogey during all 18 holes and he didn't. He didn't think about records he was going to break and all that nor did he look back at the pack. He just kept on his game. LOL, I think he was a bit disappointed I think 'cause you knew he wanted to birdie 18 so bad, but settled for that par. He didn't want to settle for -12, he wanted that -13 just as badly even though he could have won with a -1. He never stopped pushing.

It's creepy when they showed Niclaus and Tiger's record by age 24 side-by-side, you see how similar they are in that both won 3 majors by that age and other things. Tiger's dream was to win more majors than Niclaus, one of Tiger's competitors said he might win a hundred in his lifetime. He has that kind of drive and it's his motivation.

Michelle has that competitive fire, but sometimes, and she's said so herself I think, that she finds it hard to find the motivation. Or when she won '00 worlds, she had said she wished she can find out where she got the motivation between Natl's and Worlds so she can bottle it up. You know how Michelle says that she tries not to look at the competition and that her competition is herself. That's what they say of Tiger too except Tiger really uses that to push himself. He doesn't need a rivalry even though the media has built up one with him and Sergio, him and Duval, him and Sutton, him and Singh, him and new kid on block, him and etc. It's that killer instinct I'm talking about.

As for Paul...something holds this guy back sometimes and I can't get a reading on what exactly it is. He can get in the zone and be in his zen like state, but it's hard to share that with a team. He's a captain, and he has to make sure to motivate his team to win...they have to have that killer instinct too. Those who play with him say that he motivates them to play better by his actions or how hard he works, but I think he needs to spell it out on their next team meeting that it has to be for all 3 periods for all 82 games and beyond.

Maybe if, like Tiger, he spells out that he wants to be equal to or better than Gretzky, (HA! Fat chance, but hey, great motivation.) I don't know, don't even know if he wants to be a playmaker, a goal scorer or a balance of both. I know that his coach Craig wants him to be like Batman, Steve Yzerman...but Paul Kariya has to be Paul Kariya and push himself to be the best. But he's too humble to make a statement like that. Come to think of it, Michelle is like that too, humble to the bone.

Not that Tiger is humble, he is, but his killer instinct is just in his eyes, you can't miss it. Actually, Tiger's killer instinct is like a being of its own that actually goes out of it's way to introduce itself to Tiger's competitors and then you watch Tiger blow away the field. Feels good doesn't it. Sheesh, I wish I had that.

Okay, this is way too long already...so in conclusion, Paul and Michelle need that Tiger killer instinct...er...and then they lived happily ever after, yeah that's it.
