Movieverse, Comicverse, or both?
I loved Hawkeye in West Coast Avengers (and kinda shipped him with Spider-Woman at the time), but didn't have an extensive enough collection of Avengers or Daredevil to read much about Natasha. My tastes in comics back when I read them tended toward the X-Verse (ironic now since the X-movies don't interest me much, while the Avengers movies are eating me up from within).

How many times have you seen Avengers? What about Winter Soldier?:

Avengers, 5 or 6 times and I have the dvd; Winter Soldier, once.

What brings you to the Clint/Natasha ship?:

I don't remember! I think I read some fic at random and just became a little obsessed for a while. Also, Clint resting his leg on Natasha's char in that credits tag. It really is the little things....

Any other ships/fandoms you want to share?:

A lot of fandoms, oy. But most recently I'm into Sherlock, Elementary, Broadchurch, Haven, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. big time.

What about C/N do you like best?:

I like everything everyone else here has already mentioned, and I also adore that they're not super-powered but they're still heroes. (I know, in the comics Natasha is a little enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum, but so far MCU hasn't gone that route.) I tend to gravitate toward members of teams who would be considered "normal" in comparison to everyone else. Like, in Gargoyles, I could eat up stories involving just Matt and Elisa fighting crime. Or Amy and Rory being domestic together in DW.

Share your favorite head canon:
Clint fell madly in love with Natasha before he had to make the call on whether to assassinate her or bring her in, and that's one of the main reasons (in addition to him seeing something good in her, feeling compassion, etc.) he did what he did.

Rec a fic, graphic, vid, meta, etc. and explain why you liked it.:
The Woman in the Crosshairs by frea_0 because it hits my kink for unlikely characters secretly being wildly successful authors, not to mention my other kink for character A seeing herself through the eyes of someone who loves her. Also, the fangirl in the bookshop. Just, yes to everything in this fic.

What should a potential new friend know about you/your LJ and/or what are you looking for in an LJ friend?:
I try to post a few times a week and maintain a healthy balance between the personal and the fannish. Fannish talk is a healthy balance of the thinky and the squeeful. In LJ friends, I just love sharing the love and excitement without any drama (what is the point of a ship war, again?)--also, I feed on others' creativity and love sharing ideas and celebrating stuff.

Friending policy?:
Friend away!

Anything else you want to add?: Today my sister took one of those quizzes that tells you which super-heroine you're most like, and it gave her Kitty Pryde. I was sooo jealous--and then the quiz told me I'm most like Black Widow. Bwaha!

Btw, I'm really new here, though I had a ton of fun on last weels comment meme, and I want to say hi! Hi!

Hello! You sound like fun. Friends?

(For some reason that sentence looks weird to me now. But still!)

Friends! Nice to meet you. ♥

I see you've written a lot of fic that's new to me. Can't wait to sit down and read it!

Well, I hope you enjoy it. :) And thanks!

I just melted like a pile of goo!

They have that effect on me too!

We almost wrote a fic together last week, so I think we should be friends! :-)

I think you're right! <3

Done! :-)

PS: one of my AO3 readers made me add a middle bit to the "Budapest" thing in the comments, and then added one of her own -- so it's now a quadrology (is that even a word?).
