QAF/Johnny Weir crossover
Mar. 16th, 2010 01:06 amWhat can I say? Someone on my flist (names withheld to protect the guilty) has gotten me into watching Be Good Johnny Weir, and reading skate FF. Which has me jonesing for some QAF/Johnny Weir crossover.
Does it exist? For some reason, I can see this.

He refuses to discuss who he's sleeping with (a very Brian, if I'm not fucking you, it's none of your business).
I am enamored of the Be Good Johnny Weir character -- which even Johnny claims not be entirely the true him. He has parlayed himself into a commodity and sold it to... well just about everyone. He admits at 25 he's over the hill. He admits he like fashion (and again, a rival to Brian in that area too). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-9ZHOjQaCs
And I swear, the person known as Anon who is writing FF for the skating slash folks is a QAF writer. At least two of the fics that I have read -- which have been hilarious -- are Johnny Weir channeling Brian's snark to Evan Lysacek's Ted.
Even more so, there was an interview on YouTube where the interviewer actually said/asked "You are who you are, no apologies, no regrets." I need to find the exact interview.
I do think that he handled himself quite well in the face of the two Canadian Sports commentators who made the remarks that he should take a "gender test" and was "too gay for figure skating". He really made a good point that they were not commenting on his skating, they were criticizing him as a person. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6-MAmhGKsU and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZK76Ct6LNY&NR=1
In fact, I loved this commentary, their response was "hello, it's figure skating." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqCJ75A0J54
As to Scott Hamilton and Brian Botano -- you may want to reconsider. Both are BIG on the record homophobes.
