Haha, I have likened the process of coaching as repeatedly beating your head against a wall. Sometimes the wall breaks and you get somewhere really cool, but you've still got a headache/possible concussion.
I might be a little over-dramatic about this :P I do enjoy coaching a lot, but it makes me very sympathetic to the coaches who had to deal with me in the past. Although hopefully I was less annoying since I started fencing later and they didn't have to interact with 12-17 year old me.
I also thought fanfic-based fanmix was kind of odd (but obvs really cool). The way it was explained to me is that petercapaldi was making a general Hawkeye mix and then realized they were actually thinking about the characterization of Hawkeye in my supervillain AU instead of the actual canon. I've written at least two (unfinished) fics based on other people's AUs, so I can totally understand being influenced like that.
