Last week’s ATTF picspam party was plagued by livejournal troubles, so fingers crossed for todays Friday the 13th ATTF! Which is Agony Aunts (or Uncles).

Agony Aunts are (as on wikipedia) advice column writers in magazines or newspapers originally (and often) presented as older women dispensing wisdom. They range from housekeeping tips, to relationship help, to sexual help, and all sorts. Sometimes they’re hilarious. Sometimes they make you feel less alone. Sometimes, rarely, they’re like Dear Sugar (author Cheryl Strayed, some columns now collected in a book Tiny Beautiful Things. Read Dear Sugar with caution; beautiful, yes, but if this was a fic it’d have a huge warnings and triggers section, just so you know.)

For this weeks All The Things Friday we’re turning the thread into an advice column.

In a comment write a message to an Agony Aunt about or featuring Clint, Natasha, or both from any character (from Marvel or anywhere at all). These letters can be funny or serious, as imaginative as you like. They could be Clint writing in about Natasha. They could be a trainee SHIELD Agent moaning about Clint pranking the newbies or terrified that they’ve offended Natasha and now doom will be upon them. They could be an outsider POV of Clint and Natasha’s relationship. Anything at all.

Someone else can then reply to your comment as the Agony Aunt. Again, this can be funny or serious and as imaginative as you like. It could be an Agony Aunt in a magazine that has no idea who these people are. It could be another Avengers character being an Agony Aunt, or responding to this message shoved under their door, or Fury telling whoever it is that he does not care and get back to work already.

You can write as many Agony Aunt messages as you like. You can reply to as many Agony Aunt messages as you like. You can have as much fun as you like. The Agony Aunts are in!


Have any ideas for ATTFs or want to host? Let us know!
Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)
