Paolo di Canio has just resigned as the manager of the actual Swindon Town Football Club. As the manager of the Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers, the most successful fictional version of Swindon Town Football Club in the history of the world, I would like to announce my candidacy for the job of real-life Swindon Town FC manager. I am not kidding. I will give everything up to become the next manager of Swindon. This is my job application. My FIFA team, the Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers, has won the FA Cup three times and is poised to finish atop the Barclay’s Premier League. And yes, I DO PLAY ON PROFESSIONAL SKILL LEVEL. I have attended one Swindon match at the County Ground, and I had an excellent time. I have a reasonably good understanding of football tactics. I have more followers on tumblr and twitter and YouTube than any of the other likely managerial candidates. While I enjoy writing novels and making YouTube videos, I’ve been looking for a new challenge.

Who will be the 2014-2015 Swoodilypooper of the Year?

hermionejg:

a particularly good episode of HankGames in which John talks about why he’s a Liverpool fan — may or may not have made me cry like a little girl. For years and years when I was little I’d sit on the sofa and watch West Ham play with my dad and sing I’m forever blowing bubbles and later, paolo di canio x4083980 and it’s just such an important part of my childhood. My grandpa was an Everton supporter and in Mexico everyone I know supports the Pumas — you have your team, you have your ties. I’d never really thought of that being one of my earliest introductions to fandom, fan history and so on, but I suppose it was. 

(Thanks, Rosi.) I think one of the things that is underappreciated in fan communities like the HP fandom or Doctor Who or whatever is the extent to which it really IS similar to, say, the Liverpool fandom. Obviously, I’m not defending all of sporting fan culture, but to me it has been a way to connect to a story (the history of my football club) in a deep way that also connected me to other people (fellow supporters) and allowed me to feel like a participant in the narrative (In soccer, fan support really is the lifeblood of a club, because the club is not guaranteed to continue as a professional organization the same way teams are in most American sports.)

Anyway, in the end, my relationship with Liverpool is not so different from my relationship with Harry Potter.

marthahan: I meant to format this into more of a V-day card so people could print it out and stuff but I got a little pressed for time what with school and all. Also the uniforms are all wrong ‘cause I didn’t start with a reference but I can’t be bothered to fix it as it is quite late right now. Still, a valentine drawing for Nerdfighteria! That stache!
