First up, as of TODAY - Monday 11th May - [livejournal.com profile] be_compromised will no longer be a spoiler free zone for Age of Ultron. We have plans for fun things and monitoring spoiler cuts all over the place will be too messy. Apologies to people who have yet to see the film and we hope you get to see it soon!

On that note, in light of Age of Ultron here’s how we see our community moving forward:

As per the sticky post at the top and as per our profile page, we are and always will be a community for fans of Clint Barton aka Hawkeye and Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, individually as well as paired together as friends, partners, lovers, or spouses. What that means following Age of Ultron is that we will happily take all the denial fic and AUs where Clint/Natasha is a thing and all the canon-compliant fic where Clint & Natasha is a thing, and basically, as always, we will take and discuss anything that has a focus on Natasha and/or Clint.

Which means we’re also interested in the new dynamic with Laura, whether that’s Clint/Natasha/Laura or Clint/Laura with Auntie Natasha, or even Clint/Laura with a strong focus on Clint or, yes, even Natasha/Bruce with the focus on Natasha. Or just Clint or just Natasha, or any other pairing combinations or platonic combinations you like. Go wild! As long as there’s a focus on Clint and/or Natasha :)

One of our community rules is that character bashing and ship wars are assassinable offences. We love difference in opinion and discussing all the things, but we also want to keep this bar a positive fandom space. Please keep in mind that we are about the love.

So, we’re going to be exploring the new dynamics following the Age of Ultron reveal! Watch this space!

In the meantime we have shiny, new community tags for fanworks:

fanwork: age of ultron for all your works dealing with this
fanwork: aou divergent for all your works pretending these events never happened – be that everyone still lives in the Tower, killer bots never happened, or farm what farm
fanwork: on the farm for all your farming requirements
fanwork: polyamory for Clint/Natasha/Laura, Clint/Natasha/Laura/Bruce, Clint/Natasha/Bucky…any and all combinations your muse can come up with
fanwork: platonic for when the existing ‘fanwork: partners/buddycops’ just isn’t enough for the depth of best friend Clint & Natasha feelings

Remember, we do already have a whole bunch of other tags in the guide to tags and tagging for the completely AU, for team fic, and a whole heap of others. Don’t see a fanwork tag for what you need? Just let us know!

Hey I know that this may be 100 years later, but if I can add one little thing. Is that is the fic is Clint/Natasha/Laura or Natasha/Bruce or not actually natasha/clint centric as a couple, friends, etc. meaning that it has them paired with some else. that it has a sort of disclaimer that let you know that you're going to be reading a Clint/Laura or Natasha/Bruce fic, because persoanlly those are my notps and is kind of sad when you start reading a good fic and half way through it you realise that has Clint/Laura as romantic couple. Just my opinion, and all autors are entitled to not do this, but it would be nice to know before you start reading the fic.

Hi, if you're ever worried about not getting a reply on an old post you can also PM a mod :)

We don't have listing pairings as a community rule, but people usually do let readers know if their fic isn't going to be Clint/Natasha just because that's the prevalent tone of the comm. A lot of fics also have links to AO3 with pairings listed in the tags. If you ever want to check the pairings in a fic - or anything else - before reading it, if you PM the author or leave them a comment asking for some more details everyone is this bar is lovely and will happily help you out :)

And I don't think i've seen you around before, so HI welcome to the comm! We have Secret Santa this week so you're here at a wonderfully lots of fic time; enjoy!
