Today I'm heading out to my local Comic Convention, and then going to The Avengers again! I'm really looking forward to it, now that it's been a while since the first time, and I feel like I can actually focus on what's going on, lol. Seeing it the first time was such a strange experience. It's been a long time since I went into a movie with so much anticipation, and knowing that I had to post my Big Bang the next day, I was kind of a nervous wreck to be honest. Which is so dumb, really, when you're talking about going to see a movie, but having written over 100k of fic practically blind, being faced with the possibility that canon is about to invalidate all that work (and no one will freaking read it! Or worse yet, read and be disappointed it's so OOC) is really stressful!
Thankfully, the fic has gotten some really great reviews and over a 100 kudos, which is a first for me :D MISSION: Get Everyone To Like Hammer seems to have been a great success! Even the horribly ambiguous ending has gone over well, which was a big concern of mine. I knew it was the right choice, but it's a risk to ask someone to read a fic that long and then not deliver a satisfying conclusion. So far no complaints!
And now that it's behind me, I feel like I really need to see the movie again without the filter of "oh god is this good or bad for my fic!?" clouding my judgment. So I might finally have some proper movie commentary when I come back. And then I'm going to work on and hopefully finish my Coulson fic which is killing me in my soul to write but I'm doing it anyway.
Oh Avengers, how did it happen that you've become my main fandom, I don't even know.
