Sticking my head in rather nervously, as I just joined this community, having seen it mentioned by several authors, and being extremely new to fandom with zero background in comic canon, beyond Wiki. I fell in love with the Marvel Movie universe after months of refusing to watch The Avengers because I'd never seen the other Marvel movies and thinking I'd be lost. Thankfully, my 16 year old daughter forced me to watch Thor in July, and being an Archer Obsessee, I immediately fell for Agent Barton in that 2 min cameo (is it even 2 min?). She then drug me to see Avengers and since then I've become something of an addicted crazy woman (she says she created a monster!), abandoning (at least temporarily) my fandom of six years when my muse fixated on 'that archer guy from SHIELD'.
So here I am, and I am really enjoying reading this discussion. Nothing to add since I'm feeling rather overwhelmed and newbie-ish, but definitely soaking it up! So I'll just say THANK YOU for such a great community, and casually/nervously/wincingly mention I'm about 20K words into what I expect will end up a 80-100K novel length back story on Clint and Natasha based on movie verse and the data found on the Bluray SHIELD Personnel Files for them, which apparently differs a bit from comic canon. It will be nice to have a place to post it when I get it far enough along to be comfortable doing so. :)
