Okay so I proved myself wrong, about me saying I'm dropping everything I'm doing to read your stuff. I found out about Eleven Years Chpt. 5 in the morning and had to go to work RIP. Needless to say I was very distracted and as soon as I got home I got ON IT-

Bit of a shame for my wireplay obsessed ass you didn't go a bit harder on that but GOd it was still hell of a ride. Reader getting handsy after the fucking and Ram not handling it well™ was.... oooooof. I'm so normal-

I guess since I got on the EY hype train, mind if I just, go nuts a little more??? I could be biased here cuz Ramram, but HOW did you actually, genuinely make me feel sad for the captor in a Stockholm syndrome scenario????? HELLO???? What wizardry did you pull to do that??????? Like yeah Ram kidnapped reader and is lowkey torturing them without fully realizing it, but he's so awfully genuine with everything else????????????

And just. Okay slightly late to the party but in chpt. 4, the conversation about Ram being afraid of touch both to not accidentally harm reader AND the reputation of his model is just....... When I read that, my reaction could only be described as going absolutely fucking feral. Bro do not EVER worry about characterization again because jeSUS CHRIST-

I actually ended up showing that set of paragraphs to a friend that isn't in this fandom much (likes a different hero a whole lot and is loosely aware of everyone else, kind of like me actually lol) aaaaand their reaction was pretty much the same as mine-

And to not ignore what you replied with my last anon ask bc lordy I'd feel bad: ... I mean.... if you wanna build up to a big piv scene.... *glosses over your WIP list* I can see Hanakaki going there pretty easily, without all the painful emotional mindfuckery that comes with kidnapping...

LMAO I feel like Blizz employees (the creative art-related team, to be more accurate) are not really allowed to interact with fandom so their ideas don't get influenced by fanon and therefore the company does not get accused of stealing ideas or whatever. BUT, here's a funny idea... since these people write fanfiction that is actually canon... Can you imagine someone writing out their dirtiest fantasies and said writing having to be actually archived at Blizz because intellectual property LOOOOOL-

soBBING THAN K YOU this was such a delight to open my inbox to!!!

hehehe for what it's worth, if I do end up writing the prequel there will be a bigger focus on wireplay (given that it's before he's made any modifications to himself) :3c

but ah I'm so glad you sympathized with Ramattra because that's exactly what I wanted!! He's done something awful- is doing something awful- but he's doing it because he loves you so much. Everything he's done, he's done because he's had a hard life and you were one of so few good things he's had. I really wanted the reader (ie the real people not the stand in character) to have... complicated feelings about this version of Ramattra.

and ;_; thank you... being OOC is truly just my nightmare of writing, I need my blorbos to be perfectly canon-aligned (or explicitly AU'd) or I'll die.

but in particular fjdshg yes! When Ramattra was actually striving for peace, he had to work against such heavy biases against him simply because of his model (both the vendor in Nepal and Nameless make comments on him being an r-7000 as soon as he meets them), so he must be acutely aware that he is treated differently than other omnics.

HAHAHA it's SO funny of all my WIPs you mention hanahaki... because 1) Hanahaki is actually like 4 paragraphs from being done and 2) there isn't a shred of nsfw in it! I wrote it just to write some angsty pre-relationship stuff, but ultimately just is emotional porn, nothing physical.

Ah that's probably to some degree true! I'd love to see someone working w Blizz just. sit on all their nsfw fics and works until they quit and be like. 'haha yeah i JUST made all these. definitely not under contract w Blizz dont worry about it :>' [piles of concept Ramattra porn fall out of their jacket]

Hello sorry to bother you, but i think you would be the best person to ask- how do the cwhl and nwhl view each other? Would there ever be a merger of the two?

this has been sitting in my inbox for weeks and I’m so sorry for that.

There’s a great series by Zoë Hayden on The Victory Press about the history of the NWHL and CWHL:

The Story So Far: CWHL and NWHL (Part I)

The Story So Far: CWHL and NWHL (Part II)

There’s also Angelica Rodriguez’s history of the Minnesota Whitecaps, which covers the start of the CWHL quite well.

These are very long reads but they are worth it. Everything you could want to know about the history of the NWHL and CWHL is included in those articles. Please read those first before continuing down this ask, as they have important stuff I’m going to reference in the rest of this.

This got really long so I’m going to put it under a read more.

I’d first like to say that I live in Ottawa, I’m a fan of both leagues, although I post more about the NWHL just because hearing about it was the way I got into women’s hockey in the first place. So I’m a fan of both leagues.

I’d say there’s a few parts to this. There’s the leagues, and the people who run them, there’s the players, there are the fans and there are those looking in from the outside who don’t know much besides there are two leagues.

So the leagues, they definitely don’t like each other. The CWHL has been quite frosty towards the NWHL, and the NWHL seems content to do the same. Both league commissioners don’t like talking about the other league if they can help it. So yeah, the CWHL probably views the NWHL as an annoyance and an enterprise doomed to fail that doesn’t help women’s hockey. The NWHL probably sees the CWHL as too slow and not doing what’s needed to help women’s hockey. (these are almost certainly exaggerations, but there’s no lost love between them for sure)

The players seem pretty okay with two leagues. Honestly I think they just want somewhere to play. Like, there’s probably some bad feelings from the Boston Blades, because they lost too many players, but other than that? Hilary Knight went to one of Les Canadiennes games and talked to Julie Chu. And I’ve seen some players from both leagues interacting on social media and posting pictures so they don’t all hate each other. They probably just want to stay out of the drama, they just want to play hockey, and get paid at some point I would guess. But overall I think most of them want one league, or a merger of some sort, so they can all play against each other.

The fans are generally just fans of one league, fans of both, or they’re a fan of one league and hate the other. I don’t mind the first two kinds, but the last one grates on me a lot. The first two types of fans kinda would mostly like a merger, but maybe think that it would be too hard or wouldn’t work for whatever reason. Which is probably right and I’ll get to that in a bit. The last type of fan just want one league to fold. This kind of fan is usually a fan of the CWHL and hates the NWHL, for some legitimate reasons and some pretty not cool reasons, usually opinions about Dani Rylan (but that’s a whole other convo that’s covered in those articles) but there are also fans of the NWHL who dislike the CWHL because the C doesn’t play the players, but that’s kinda unfair, because that’s never been done before for a reason, and they really have been trying. So don’t decide to not support the C because of that, it’s not fair to the league or the players.

Those looking in from the outside, who don’t really follow the leagues, mostly think that it’s silly to have two leagues and they should just merge already. But, to finally answer your question, a merger doesn’t look likely right now. Both leagues function very differently, have different history and honestly? They don’t really want to merge.

I answered a similar question a while ago and I’m going to copy and paste my answer because it hasn’t changed much:

basically they’re not on good terms with each other right now, and I don’t think they’ve ever been? Like the N stole basically all of the boston blades and now that team has gone two seasons with like two wins and they had to replace all but four players, kudos to the general manager for that she’s great. So that wasn’t a good first impression, also putting a team in boston even tho there was already a boston team? pretty not cool. so there’s all that. There’s also a ton of other stuff as well, so while I believe most of the players are on decent terms the leagues themselves don’t like each other. I mean, they’re both competition, like the c’s comish said, coke and pepsi.

There’s also the fact that financially it’s not a good idea. Who knows the state of the N right now? so why would the C want to merge if they just have to deal with all of that? and anyways the media (mainstream at least) keep treating the N and C like they’re just canadian and american versions of the same thing but they’re really not. they both have completely different business models, the C with its slow but steady, kinda down low progress, focused on stability and sustainability (it is in its 10th season after all so it’s worked quite well), and the N with it’s aggressive PR, expansion and massive social media campaigning. (for comparison the C has about 7000 insta followers compared to the N with 19,000. and 13 thousand and 23 thousand on twitter respectively. so the N really pushes for attention, awareness and expansion of its fanbase, the C is more restrained tho they’ve really picked it up recently. so they don’t like each other, they don’t want to deal with financial stuff, and they both have very different ways of running. maybe a few years down the line things could change, but for now I think it’s best they don’t merge, and that the N move expansion to the south and west, and stay away from canada for the time being, too much competition, it wouldn’t end well.

tl;dr Overall, I don’t know for sure how they feel about each other for certain, but it’s definitely not friendly. The leagues don’t like each other, the players just want to play, probably in one league, and the fans want to enjoy hockey and want the players to be able to play and get paid (at some point or get paid more). A merger is not likely for multiple reasons.
