MCU, comics, or all the things? More MCU than comics...but mostly headcanons of fic writers?
How many times have you seen Age of Ultron (so far)? Twice; I totally thought I would want to watch this at least 4 times in the theater (like I did Avengers and Cap 2), but I THINK I'm good with tumblr graphics at the moment.
Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? All of the above. My new headcanon is the Barton family is a real thing, there has never been anything other than amazing friendship between Clint and Nat, that Clint and Laura are so in love and have been through so much together, but also that Laura eventually will die being awesome and heroic and THEN things start to change between Clint and Nat, and something new and beautiful develops.
Give us 3 sentences or a teaser of something creative, fic or otherwise, that you’re working on: Working on my first fic!! Its about (surprise) my headcanon above. However it is going extremely slowly since I spend ( ... )

Ohh, good luck for your first fic! That's as exciting as it is scary, isn't it? XD

YES! I actually think this could be a good fic but I just keep getting paralyzed. But it doesn't actually HAVE to be good, right? There is leeway where first fics are concerned? Freshman forgiveness? ;)

All first fics suck one way or another ;) Just run with it, you already have a great sounding board in alphaflyer, she beta'd my first fic as well :)

MCU, comics, or all the things? All the things and so much more! I read Avengers and X-Men comics back in the day and got away from them. I got reacquainted with them when rumors of the MCU started to surface. I became obsessed with Tony Stark (fanning the flames was a life-long love affair with RDJ, through good times and bad). And then I met MCU Clint Barton. And then I met Fraction's Clint Barton. The rest, as they say, is history…
How many times have you seen Age of Ultron (so far)? 2, but have had many in-depth conversations with many folks with many different opinions on the film. That's been an absolute joy.
Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? Honestly, this is a tough one. My heart camps on that river because I love the chemistry and romantic tension between Clint and Nat -- on screen and on paper. My head lives on the farm, though, because it does make sense. Anyone who knows me more than 2 minutes can tell I lead with my heart, so I sit firmly on the side ( ... )

I also love Bobbi/Hunter!!! I really think Hunter is the comics "Clint Barton" just without the bow and arrow of course. But he is the right age, the right attitude. And GOSH I LOVE BOBBI!!!!

I feel you on feeling the divide between MCU canon and fanon. A part of me is like "nope, I don't like this" but another part of me is "Yup, this totally works", and I feel like I am both grieving and reveling at the same time and its so weird. And I also feel like I can talk about it forever but I shouldn't b/c probably not good for my health. lol

I am so excited for that fic!!! And random thought that occurred to me yesterday...is Tony wearing shirt of Clint's on the farm scene? Steve is obviously wearing his own Under Armour, but Tony with that flannel...hmm. what do we think?

spyforaday May 29 2015, 22:29:42 UTC
I totally agree with the Hunter/Barton comparison. And, yes to Bobbi. I was so prepared to not like her and I couldn't have been more off-base. These two and their "break up to make up" shenanigans… Bring it! ;)

The conversations I've had with some folks have spanned through dinner and drinks and we still weren't done. I know exactly what you mean about wanting to talk about it!

Excellent question about wardrobe. I'm guessing that Tony probably has borrowed the flannel. And since it's too much of a coincidence that you brought it up (you must be a tech wiz because I think you hacked into my story…), here's the next bit that follows that little teaser. BTW, you just inspired an idea that I'll add to this story that addresses Tony wearing Clint's flannel (it's official now!). ;)

Both men turned their heads to find Natasha casually walking into the barn as she asked the question. She was dressed in one of Clint’s black and red flannel shirts that hung just above her knees and pair of gray sneakers ( ... )

I feel like I could write a novel about how much I loved it and how much I hated it and everything in between lol.

Aaaah that is crazy about the shirt!!! Tech wiz I'm afraid not...but I do possess Scarlet Witch mind-whammy skills ;). And still loving the fic!!!! SO CURIOUS as to what happens next!! Flannel shirts for all? Haha.

All the things, but way out of date on the comics.

Twice! So far. Gotta admit I got kinda side-tracked when Mad Max came out... /o\

Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together?
Weirdly unconcerned about what canon says. When I see interesting fic or art, I'm down with living in its moment. Comics characters have always been especially malleable to me. I will say I am intrigued by Natasha/Bruce and that Nat being Hawkeye and Laura's close family friend (or more?) makes me happy. But so does the kind of Nat/Clint romance implied by the first movie, where they are each other's own world and do crazy dangerous spy stuff together all the time.

I've got this fic concept in the backlog where Nat and Clint run through a ridiculous number of new handlers after Coulson "dies."

Something about the joy of OT3s as a solution for traditional love triangles.

OMG, YES. This has been my mantra for years!

I also love your attitude about everything, I feel the same way. I am intrigued by the developments in canon and want to see fic that incorporates that, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying all the fic that ignores it completely.

There are seriously so many ways to go in MCU storytelling, so why not do them all??? :D

Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? All of the above? I'm happy to explore all the options. My headcanon has always varied according to what fic I'm writing, so I'm happy to write/read canon-compliant fic where Clint is happily married and Clint and Natasha are platonic BFFs and Natasha hangs out with Laura, canon-divergent fic where AoU never happened, mild AU and complete AU where canon isn't a factor anyway. I love Clint and Natasha as lovers who bang like bunnies, platonic BFFs and Clint/Natasha/Laura OT3, so I'm happy :D.

I look forward to your Maria/Natasha fic. Or any of your fics, really. It's been a while ... :-)

I'm so very very on board with your other ships list.

IDK, probably 'Take Me To Church.' I wasn't really a fan of that song initially but it really grew on me. -- Same. Didn't do much for me, then I heard it again randomly on the radio, and yup, yes, okay, turns out I like this. XD

MCU, comics, or all the things? All the things! I read comics as a kid and then fell out of the habit, but when I got into the MCU I started delving back into comics.
How many times have you seen Age of Ultron (so far)? Just once, because I am broke and busy. *g*
Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? Can I say all of it? I am game for whatever, basically, if you do it well.

Jemma/Bobbi I can totally get behind! Hope to see that fic soon!

I love your approach to fandom and ships, and also I just went and read a random fic of yours and really liked it, so I think I better friend you, if that's cool. =)
