For those of you who missed the Friday that happened yesterday, it's still happening over here. Clear as mud? Sweet.

It has also turned into an impromptu friending meme and gif party. Go forth and gif and friend.

No fic recs today; still basking in the glow of Promptathon (which ends a week from today, btw. And yes, there will be a party for that as well. We don't need much of an excuse.)

So. cybermathwitch and I have vowed to undertake the study of vidding.

Which is to say we just have a lot of feels, okay? And other people aren't making the vids that are in our heads (except when they are, and that's pretty damned cool). But the point is, we want to learn how to do the thing that is make the pretties.

So, here we come to you, hat in hand, noble patrons of the best bar, asking for help.

Anyone here have links to good tutorials? What software do you use? Should we give this up as a bad job now and run screaming into the night before it consumes our souls? What is the average air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

HELP.

Part Eleven: The Moment Things Get Real

(56) The Avengers



Icons Are This Way

Actually, it's an entire series. Aggie2011 has created a stunning universe with five multi-chapter stories and two one-shots. (She posted the first chapter in her sixth multi-chapter fic this morning.) It's a Clint-centric series in which Coulson is his best friend/big brother/father-figure, Natasha and Clint develop a deep, intense, healthy relationship, Clint and Tony become bffs, and all of the Avengers make an appearance. The entire series is beautifully written. There are a few editing errors, but they're negligible.

The author actually finishes writing her multi-chapter fic before she posts them and then posts a new chapter every morning until it's all up, so there are no delays in getting new chapters, which is beyond fabulous. :-)

- If you want to start with the first written, the fic set immediately post-film is Vantage Point.
- If you want to read them chronologically, the first story is Youngest in History, about how Coulson recruited Clint into S.H.I.E.L.D. and the two of them became friends. (No slash - just the world's best bromance ever.)
- If you want to test things out with something a little shorter, Arrow Man is a one-shot about the time that The Hulk gets all protective of Clint when Steve accidentally wings Clint during a sparring match. Clint then helps Bruce see the incident from a different perspective. It's awesome. :-)

If you go to the author's FF.net page, everything she's written is of course there, but the author also lists the titles, with summaries, of the other stories she is planning to write in this universe, in chronological order with everything she has already written. It's the icing on top of a yummy, delicious fic-cake. :D

Hey, it's Friday, so it's the day to share, and seriously, I'm running out of positive, hyperbolic adjectives. :-) The individual stories and the series as a whole are something special. :D And I love to share the fic love, b/c I love all the people in this bar and know how much they love the AWESOME! Have a great weekend!
