1. A comic I read in 2016 (for Reading Wednesday):
Captain Britain and the Mighty Defenders 1 & 2, by Al Ewing (writing) and Alan Davis (art) : I liked this a lot. I've said it before, but I really really REALLY enjoyed Battleworld. I loved the opportunity to see more about how it worked and there's a lot of GREAT character stuff in these two issues. I need to read more with Faiza (okay, so I read this to know if I should bother tracking down the other Mighty Defenders series, and yep, sounds like it might be worth it).
2. Day 2
In your own space, share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life. Something that impacted on your consciousness in a way that left its mark on your soul. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Seeing Revenge of the Sith in theaters all those years ago was extremely cathartic.
I know a lot of people don't like the Star Wars prequels, but I can't be objective about them. For they are forever redeemed by being there, in that dark room, facing that big screen and thinking oh. someone gets it. Nothing else has ever gotten that knife edge of despair and fury, where I sometimes find myself. Anakin Skywalker is my cautionary tale, if you want.
(For the record: I love him so much but OH MY GOD HE IS A STUPID MURDER NOODLE. And tbh, I feel like anything I might have to say about Anakin Skywalker, I've already said in both/either Five people on StarKiller Base who didn't listen to Anakin Skywalker (and one who did) and Cloak of Night, respectively 3k of Anakin + TFA folks (& Anakin + Obi-Wan gen) and 2k of Leia + Vader gen.)
3. Comment with a fanfic trope and, if you'd like, a character/pairing, and I will tell you:
• how likely I am to write it
• A few lines of theoretical fic
