2025-03-31 20:46:45 +0000 UTCThe start of those chapter was bit rough to get into but by the end I was enjoying it. Not sure I loved it yet but fun experiment ted

2025-03-18 13:15:58 +0000 UTCLoved it. Keep experimenting. I’m here for all of it.

2025-03-11 00:56:08 +0000 UTCIs Emma making the Liberace reference accidentally or intentionally?
James Anderson
2025-03-10 16:47:31 +0000 UTCWasn’t a fan of this one

2025-02-23 02:46:13 +0000 UTCIt was hard to get mentally invested in this chapter because it wasn't clear what was cannon and what wasn't.

2025-01-29 20:26:24 +0000 UTCI'm supprised people are confused. The characters don't even need any names, they are very consistend with how they are described so its obv who's who.

2025-01-28 22:07:31 +0000 UTCGenuinely baffled some people didnt enjoy this chapter. This is the lighthearted, genre-poking i enjoy out of Ted. A fantastic author that doesnt mind changing up the style. If it werent for that, we wouldnt get the great podcast/discord/commentary chapters either. Keep up the great stuff Tom Irons

2025-01-28 13:55:30 +0000 UTCPersonally I enjoy piecing together clues on my own. And Ted made it quite obvious with his descriptions who they were. Rather being spoon fed everything makes it tedious to read, at least for me.

2025-01-28 02:46:00 +0000 UTCIt was clear it was Emma as soon as the pen name of "Larissa Daps" came up. Given that Best has used "Cliff Daps" before, who else could it have been?

2025-01-28 02:02:26 +0000 UTCDid you eat a lot of cheese before writing this? Great fun, but maybe time to ease back haha

2025-01-28 01:56:26 +0000 UTCIf Ruth is Esther who is Boaz?

2025-01-28 01:17:37 +0000 UTCDid this come out cos the author rewatched Deadpool 2 lol?

2025-01-28 00:58:19 +0000 UTCIt was a fun chapter, don’t mind the occasional stray from your usual fare. I’m honestly interested in how much they were role-playing in the day-to-day
Fraser
2025-01-28 00:48:49 +0000 UTCI love these chapters that go for something else entirely. Kept flipping back and forth if mads was real as I was reading ha. And Max Best skating irl? Fastest veto of his life. 👋 I'm imagining something like how Johnson tore his knee driving a golf cart. Yea, veto.

2025-01-27 23:58:40 +0000 UTCBest chapter in a while, amazing work

2025-01-27 23:29:23 +0000 UTCI wouldn't want to read every chapter this way, but this was fun as a one-off.
Kevin Flynn
2025-01-27 22:42:25 +0000 UTCI Gotta say I had to check maybe once or twice if I am reading the right story but I do love my sappy and corny Soccerotica. Even if it is a first of it's kind !! Also love the link to the music even if it is a well known classic Thanks Ted!!!

2025-01-27 21:29:43 +0000 UTCGood chapter. Weird but fun. Very readable

Tyler Jansen
2025-01-27 20:22:23 +0000 UTCFantastic chapter. I understood it pretty quickly thanks to Jemima name drop. Really interesting perspective shift and way to introduce Canada so it wasn't just a repeat of Brazil and the U20 WC. Like other people have said, I do read romance novels though so it was pretty easy to get the gist and read it with that in mind. What a genuinely unique chapter and I don't think it could have been the second chapter of a new volume. TFTC

2025-01-27 20:12:02 +0000 UTCIt was weird but fun. I think it would have worked better as an April's fool post or something. Those often get deleted but this could have stayed in.
Gyslain Desgagne
2025-01-27 20:01:05 +0000 UTCI got it pretty much immediately, but then, I've read more than a couple stupid hockey romances. I was in stitches the whole time. Emma likes a bit of roleplay, eh?
Lord Falco
2025-01-27 19:24:29 +0000 UTCtook awhile but I figured it out
Raymond Alderman
2025-01-27 18:47:42 +0000 UTCLoved this chapter. Bonkers and brilliant and liked having to do the little bit of work to figure out who was behind each fake name. Twinkle makes me crack up every time!
Geoff Urland
2025-01-27 18:45:04 +0000 UTCIt was a bit long for a bit that I imagine a decent number of readers will be confused by.
Galeg
2025-01-27 18:23:32 +0000 UTCQuite lost, bit too much
Josh
2025-01-27 18:18:46 +0000 UTCThe ending made it better, but I had to force myself to push through the confusionand ended up skim reading. It’s a nice idea but I think it’s too long a chapter to leave the reader confused until the end.

2025-01-27 17:56:39 +0000 UTCFirst clue: Cliff Dabs is Max's false name. So Emily (Emma) has used false names as recommended by Apple. Sounds like JR has gone to Tranny. So many others. Ruth takes on another biblical name, Esther. Twinkle...twinkle little Brooke Star. The German kid and his grandad are probably Pascal and Peter. Jemima is Gemma. The tattooed airport false love interest is...?
Richard Carling
2025-01-27 17:42:56 +0000 UTCEmily "Stoop" Dabbs got a bit meta with her writing. This helped signal what is really happening about changed names and the false main male character at the airport. Anyone picking this up as the first in the series to read will not have a clue. I hope she had the BEST time in Canada. Gemma looks: https://www.renewhair.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Black-Hair-Colour-on-a-beautifully-long-wavy-hair.jpg Maybe?

2025-01-27 17:20:01 +0000 UTCSorry, dude. I'll try to get all the way through it again later, but some times trying something different does not pay off. At least it's the first time you've swung and missed.

2025-01-27 16:48:29 +0000 UTCI figured it out in the flashback when the Julia Robert's smile came up. The Apple part was a nice confirmation though.

Tyler Jansen
2025-01-27 16:10:53 +0000 UTCNot me, so lost..
Shay Thompson
2025-01-27 15:47:54 +0000 UTCThanks! Getting it seems to be about 90:10 at the moment. Let's see how the rest of the votes come in.
Ted Steel
2025-01-27 15:38:49 +0000 UTCEmily is still learning the ropes. It's not as easy as it looks!

2025-01-27 14:40:55 +0000 UTCWas not expecting that lol. Love that you always keep us on our toes
Jake Lewis
2025-01-27 14:24:52 +0000 UTCFirst off, that was really clever. Secondly, wtf did I just read. I like the actual explanation of what is happening in the convo with Apple. I was afraid we wouldn't get a satisfying "why" for this chapter, but I like it. Hopefully all the other readers get it too.
