ATTF: Let's See How Much Further We've Come

[meatball42]

Hello honorable comrades, and welcome to the latest All the Things Friday! I'll be your host this week, sort of. More on that in a minute. If you want to be a host for a future ATTF, go to this page and check out the info!

Firstly, credit to inkvoices and workerbee73, who masterminded the ATTF I'm mostly copy-pasting for this one. They ran a really successful and

3) Rec something you wrote/made in this fandom that you’re most proud of, or that’s your favourite.
As these things happen, one of my favorite niches in this fandom remains "AUish assassins porn" and if I had to single out two of those, I think it'd be Every Night A Hopeless Lie (Clint/Natasha, 616, exhibition kink) and Dropping Glasses Just To Hear Them Break (Clint/Natasha, MCU, fear kink). Ohh and there's You're A Car Crash (And I Can't Look Away) (Clint/Natasha, MCU and 616 crossover) which I should really, really get back to, but it's a braineater, meaning if I work on this I can work on little else, and also I'm terribly, horribly nervous about how long it needs to be if I do it right and how the finished product could very would be the most novel-like thing I've ever done and I basically freaked myself out and now I'm afraid of screwing it up, so uh, yeah, hey, welcome to how my brain works? /headdesk

As for if and how this fandom influenced me, well, it did. A lot. Not so much the MCU part of the proceedings, but the comics corner. Comics fandom in itself is way different than any of the movie or tv show fandoms I've been in, and it changed the way I approach both canon and fanon aka writing. It's less static, and for someone who used to try to pin down canon to the letter, that was quite a learning experience. But it made me more creative, I think, and also more relaxed and confident about my interpretation of canon and characterization.

I would be forever grateful if you decided to get back to work on You're A Car Crash because that thing is AWESOME. (though clearly understand if you don't. just giving you some random cheerleading. :))

You're so sweet. ♥ I totally plan to go back to it? I just... can't tell you when. /headdesk

Seconding what Cassie says about Car Crash. I so, so love the concept of it, and the execution, and... so let it consume you! Your readers will be grateful! :-)

Awww, thank you. ♥ But see, I have deadlines. Like. At least five exchanges until the end of the year. After that, tentative maybe? ARGH.
