I've been saying this for years now, but I think there's untapped potential in fiction about figure skating, specifically fantasy
I think the only time I've seen fantasy where figure skating played a significant role (or was even in it) is Barbie: Magic of the Pegasus
#also it just makes me mad still that like the most popular book about figure skating is a romance between a figure skater and a hockey playe#nothing wrong with that but I'd like some more that's about figure skating as a type of performing art#about the beauty and magic of this sport#about the friendships and rivalries that form at shows and competitions#about all the gruesome infighting between coaches of the same club#about training hard and achieving your goals and training hard and failing over and over again#about that weightlessness when you leap of the ice and that wonderfull dizzyness after a spin#about costumes and makeup and pretty dresses and show lights amd loud music and stage fright and all those other lovely girly things#and you don't even have to look far to find some good drama to write about bc literally every figure skating club has drama#anyway as I'm saying: untapped potential#and the fantasy aspect#and ice skating rink as a location is super interesting???#you can have a cast of a wide age range that all plausibly see each other on a regular basis#magic being used to freeze water so they can go ice skating#idk you can get creative with it#figure skating#writing#writers of tumblr#writer thoughts
