Hello and welcome to be_compromised!

We're a community for fans of Clint Barton AKA Hawkeye and Natasha Romanov AKA Black Widow both as individuals and together, as well as the broader Marvel Universe (MCU, comics, TV, and games), which started on LiveJournal in 2012 and migrated over to Dreamwidth in May 2017. We have a corresponding Tumblr, as well as a Discord server (link on how to join) which is where the majority of fannish interaction happens now. As a result, this DW account serves primarily as the hub for community events and exchanges, as well as a record of important announcements. All types of fanwork are welcome here but, as AO3 has largely overtaken DW as the place to host fanworks, we primarily use the Community: be_compromised tag on AO3 as a way to collate fics written for and by the community. There is also our masterlist tag for comm events.

If you would like to join us here at be_compromised, welcome! We're excited to meet you. We just ask that you adhere to the rules below, which are the result of policy discussions between mods and community members over the years. They apply to both community members and anyone who takes part in any of our community events.

Also, if you do decide to join our community or even just take part in community exchanges, please add your name to the Community Username Database. It will help the mods immensely, and ensures you are correctly credited when crossposting masterlists across platforms.
