My three things:
1. A fanwork ... that you feel deserves some love. "history is what you've travelled on and take with you" by inkvoices. This is such an atmospheric and amazing AU that it (a) convinced me AUs were a Thing I could actually enjoy, and (b) baffles me that it doesn't have 1,000 kudos. I read it in the car on a glorious fall day as we were driving down Highway 7 towards Lake Ontario, the golden light and pumpkins a perfect counterpoint to the story. Just lovely.
2. Tell us the first thing that you wrote/made in this fandom. How did you get into it, what was the inspiration, was it hard to do? What do you think about it now, either in content or composition? Tell the story of your story! Link if you're brave enough :D
Well, that would be "Going to Ground", a post-New York fic. I came out of the theatre wondering what Clint and Natasha did after getting into that car. (Ah, those heady days when Clintasha was all but canon ... :P) I had been reading a lot about PTSD in ( ... )

Also, crazy4orcas is crazy talented, not just on the new cover art for this fic, but for her other art too. Does she have a home for her art? I just seem to stumble on it randomly.

I don't really have a home for the art. They're mostly things I've put together at polyvore.com (I'm "crazy4orcas there too).

1. Rec a fanwork
Roads I Used to Run by ienigma731 - Lovely short series about Clint on the farm, getting his life back post-NY.
Partners and Their Traditions by gentlesin - A short ficlet with Nat and Clint dealing with PTSD on the 4th of July. (I trolled my bookmarks for a work that had less than a 100 kudos and less than 5000 views and tada! There it was.)
Cat Burglars by AstridV - fanart that I particularly liked of hers, but she has tons of others that are fabulous
2) Tell us the first thing that you wrote/made in this fandom.
Wives and Exes and Somewhere in Between
How did you get into it, what was the inspiration...
I had just rewatched Avengers and suddenly POW! Nat/Clint hit me so hard. I was also deep in Ao3 and reading Hawkeye comic background stuff on Wikipedia and I just had the urge to write after years away from fic writing.
was it hard to do? Hard. So, so hard. 8-9 years since last writing fic, in a brand new fandom where I didn't know anyone? God yes, it was even harder than the first ever fic I wrote, way ( ... )

Hmm. By design, I don't read a lot of fandom newcomers because I'm picky and eltist and only read now-to-me authors when I tumble into a new fandom or rarepair or find a rec, so there goes that, but have one old fave that could eternally use more love, and there fics by friends-and-faves that sit at around or below 50 kudos could use more love than they've gotten.
Nighthawks by luthorienne@AO3 (Clint-centric gen; harsh and honest, and probably somewhat influential on what my MCU Clint became when *I* was a wee newcomer in the fandom)
All We Are Not Stares Back At What We Are by findthesea (Clint/Natasha, beautiful writing, captivating and lyrical)
Waving Not Drowning by franztastisch (Maria & Pepper, pitch-perfect voices and character work and a realistic, natural progression of their friendship)
Driver Choses The Music by inkvoices (Clint & Natasha, which embodies everything I love about post-Avengers psychological hurt/comfort and doesn't need a lot of ( ... )

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 ( ... )
