MCU, comics, or all the things? MCU. I keep wanting to like comics, but the format just doesn't work for me.

How many times have you seen Age of Ultron (so far)? Just once. It's a miracle that happened at all, because I had a kid in late March.

Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? River in Egypt all the way. Although it's sometimes okay if there's a farm there.

Give us 3 sentences or a teaser of something creative, fic or otherwise, that you’re working on: Oh, creativity, I remember when I had time for you. Alas, right now I'm just a consumer.

Rec something (fic, vid, art, graphics, meta, anything): A love letter to fandom from The Toast.

What things do you love to see in fics/creative works, what’re a few of your favourite things? I love me some BFF/partners-falling-in-love and I'm a sucker for really well done hurt/comfort. Also pretty much anything that has Natasha being clever and distant except when she's not.

I was rather surprised by how lovely it was! It's a book that could definitely only be written by someone who has really been involved in fandom.

I like this list of authors you read. I actually just read The Scorpio Races, years after a friend recommended it to me, and I couldn't put it down!

And congrats on the kid! That's awesome. :)

MCU, comics, or all the things? MCU, although I've imbibed quite a bit of comic back story through fannish osmosis
How many times have you seen Age of Ultron (so far)? 1. Does that make me a bad fan girl, or just a broke one?
Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? What is the location where I get all the hot, hot Natasha/Steve action?
Give us 3 sentences or a teaser of something creative, fic or otherwise, that you’re working on:
Marci's life is pretty awesome. Her boyfriend is the Michelangelo of oral sex, plus he takes out her trash and helps her deal with the dodgy plumbing in her apartment. Her job at the ACLU is 100% moral and legal, and if she figures out how to work this whole Constitutional law business, she could be the Solicitor General of the United States someday.
(Sorry, it's for Daredevil, not Avengers)

I'm so approving of your Daredevil ficcage, and I really really have to read up on it all soon. :D Also, pffft, if you ask me Daredevil is totally part of the MCU anyway. ;)

Ahh, the Cornetto trilogy. I need to rewatch all of them soon too. /nod

And hey, I also only have one watch of AOU under my belt, and not planning on more anytime soon, so. XD

MCU, comics, or all the things? I started out reading the comics as a kid, but I didn't keep up, so now I'm more of an MCU junkie :) I love Fraction's Hawkguy, though and the Avengers Assemble cartoon.
How many times have you seen Age of Ultron (so far)? Only once!
Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? Camping at the farm in the world of AUs :) Or in the world I created where Clint Barton and Aaron Cross are long lost brothers. That's my favorite place, actually.

I am an h/c junkie and the biggest fan of the found family trope there is. -- yes, hello, same here, on both counts.

Soooo I will throw this in there for reasons! Because yay, friending post and yay, mod times! Seriously so happy to be a larger part of the BEST BAR EVER. <3 <3 I'm giving you all virtual hugs!

MCU, comics, or all the things? ALL THE THINGS. I got into fandom and Clint/Nat because of the MCU, but I love the comics, and I love the fact that there are differences between the two. Comics!Clint, specifically Fraction's Hawkguy, is actually more of a favorite sometimes than MCU!Clint. But really, I love both comics and the MCU for their takes on different characters and different relationships.
How many times have you seen Age of Ultron (so far)? 4...if we're talking LEGAL theater viewings, that is. ;)
Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? At the farm, I suppose. But really, I'm not picky about this. I did love the Laura reveal, and I really love the idea of Clint/Laura, and how their relationship fits in with Nat. And also, I love my "let's screw until the cows come home ( ... )

Oooooh I love your tumblr!!! I didn't know it was yours!! You always have great commentary.

Aww thank you! I apologize for making my fandom self easy to find. I wasn't really thinking when I created my Tumblr and I try to spread out my fannish aliases a bit. (PS - if you follow me and I haven't added you back, let me know! Sometimes I don't know who people are unless I recognize their names.)

happilydancing May 29 2015, 21:21:01 UTC
That totally makes sense. And you don't want to follow me. I have no idea what I'm doing or how tumblr works and I think I have reblogged like 4 things but am super nervous b/c I don't know how to tag anything. I also don't know how to respond to people. I HAVE figured out how to "heart" things, so I can at least do that much. I wonder if there is a tumblr for dummies book...

MCU, comics, or all the things? Both. Technically I'm inching more towards comics at this point and I'm big time into Clint/Kate, but the MCU fandom is bigger and easier to be social in, so I guess it evens out.
How many times have you seen Age of Ultron (so far)? Once.
Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? Definitely the river in Egypt.
Give us 3 sentences or a teaser of something creative, fic or otherwise, that you’re working on: Clint's about to reply that yeah, well, it's his life and not a story, but on second thought, it clicks. The escalation at Clint claiming to be Hawkeye, the reaction to the mention of growing up here... He's not talking to a random inhabitant of his childhood home, he's talking to himself. This dimension's Clint Barton. (Apparently my way of dealing with AOU is to implant 616!Clint into the MCU verse post-movie and see how everyone deals.)
