Fencinnnng :D
27/5/11 07:40 pmI have been thinking about fencing a LOT lately, for three reasons. 1) I have practice twice a week, and I love it and I love fencing and I love the people I fence with. That's kind of my default state of being, though, so whatever. 2) Enabled by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aralias, I started writing a Doctor/Master fencing AU. Not much enabling was actually needed before I suddenly had 2,600 words. 3) (The big one) I was gone this weekend on an overnight fencing trip, and my team won third place! And we were two touches away from second place! Super super excited over here, because I was captain and my team were all foil fencers that I and another guy have been teaching sabre to for the last couple months. This is only the second time I've won anything in a competition, and it's so cool that I could help three other people along and watch them get to win too.
So, I figured I'd talk about fencing! Because I'm obsessed with it, and you guys already listen to me talk about my obsessions with history and Doctor Who. I guess this a primer since I figure most people don't know much about competitive fencing, but I can go on about this forever so I'll try to stop myself.
( This is cut for pictures and a video. The video is not of an awesome fencer, it is of me :| )
Also, I should make a new fencing icon, this one is old and a bit weird. But I love the Canadapants too much to change it.
