The Warbird and the Witch

Fandom: The Avengers (Marvel Comics)

*hugs back* Thank you so much! There totally needs to be more Wanda/Carol, but I'm happy just knowing that there are more fans of the pairing around!

[garrideb]

I do have fun pimping my favorite pairings. Even the really popular ones, but it is more satisfying when it's a rare pair ;-)

I haven't read any Ororo/Jean, as I mostly stick to Avengers and haven't read much X-Men, but it sounds like a pairing I could get behind. I should read more X-Men; I get the feeling they have more femslash than the Avengers corner of Marvel fandom...

You wrote it!

I'll have to come back tomorrow (or maybe later tonight) and read it. But first I need to finish up a pile of German book reports for school. *weeps* Nevertheless, I can say right away that I see some fine recs there.

And damn, now I'll really have to write mine too. :P

[garrideb]

Yes, you must write yours! I'm very curious, actually, so I'm looking forward to it.

Good luck with your school work!

[beren_sama]

I'm hoping to get on it soon. I can't believe it's halfway through May already and there's only one free month post. :(

I swear, my teachers are trying to kill me. I keep finding out I have a test the day before. =.=

[beren_sama]

And I completely forgot to say that this is a great manifesto. I love the scans and you employed very persuasive arguments. :P

Oh my gosh, this is so wonderful! I'm so happy a manifesto for this pairing exists. <3

[garrideb]

Thank you! I'm very happy to see that there are other fans of the pairing ;-)

[delanynder]

I've been a fan ever since that scene where Wanda is trying to comfort Carol and puts her hand on her shoulder. It just clicked for me right there.

[garrideb]

That is a fantastic scene - I feel bad that some of the best Carol/Wanda interaction is wrapped up in creepy context. I actually didn't read that issue until late in my obsession with this pairing; it was Red Zone that did it for me. ;-)

niiiice work :D

[garrideb]

Thanks! It was a lot of fun to put together!

okay this is a late comment but...thanks so much. i only knew about marvel comics from the movie adaptations, and so i just clicked on this manifesto out of curiosity; and i was completely hooked. i've spent the past month reading the entire avengers backlog and i'm almost at the present (i'm in the late 90s, shouldn't take me too much longer--thank god for summer break) and i love these two and quite a few other pairings. but mostly i want to thank you for introducing me to comics. this has been amazing. :)

[garrideb]

Wow, I feel pretty amazed that I introduced someone to comics. I feel like maybe I should be apologizing to you. ;-) It's amazing that you've gotten through so much of the Avengers in a month! To be honest, there are large chunks of Avengers comics I haven't read, although I am working on it. But hey, it sounds like you're almost to Avengers volume 3, which started in 1998, I think, and which is some of my favorite Avengers storytelling ever. You've got some great stuff to look forward to!

Thanks for leaving such a wonderful comment!
