Getting to know you...
MCU, comics, or all the things?
All the things... just not always mixed together. And with a heavy dose of my own head!canon.

How many times have you seen Age of Ultron (so far)?
Once. Still trying to decide whether or not I liked it... and I saw it opening weekend.

Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together?
By the river... I suspect it may be an AU, but I didn't get a memo. Then again, as a Nick/Natalie 'shipper (Forever Knight, see below), I think I took up permanent residence there in the 1990s.

Give us 3 sentences or a teaser of something creative, fic or otherwise, that you’re working on:

In his dream, Clint Barton staggered. Pain pierced his left temple, stabbing and pounding and echoing through his body with each heartbeat. His stomach roiled and his eyes burned, the pain literally blinding him as his mind and body struggled to deal with the intensity.


Rec something (fic, vid, art, graphics, meta, anything):

It's been a while since I've played in the sandbox, as real life has put a crimp on any attempts. I've been friends with [livejournal.com profile] allisnow for far too many years now, and know her kung fu is pretty awesome, so I'll definitely rec her stuff, regardless of fandom. Same for [livejournal.com profile] tielan, and I'm getting to know that [livejournal.com profile] alphaflyer writes some good stuff, too. =D

"Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" -- my other current obsession. Strong, female lead; smoking hot UST; and the male lead isn't all that bad to look at, either. And, strangely enough, I really only find him attractive when he's in his period duds. Go fig.

The Thin Man -- a husband and wife that actually love each other and trade snark like nobody's business. Oh, and they solve a murder mystery along the way, too, with their cute wire-haired terrier.

What things do you love to see in fics/creative works, what’re a few of your favourite things?
Good character development. Appropriate punctuation and grammar. Happy endings.

If someone were to win the lottery and we had a community con (in Budapest, of course), suggest a panel, activity, event etc. you would like there to be:

Writing workshop -- focusing on the realities of hand-to-hand defense, using firearms, and how to write said realities; maybe a some time on investigative procedure.

Costuming/prop workshop -- how to modify a pattern to make all those wonderful bodysuits and how to work with really odd, unwieldy materials that they keep making the @#$% costumes out of.

Any other fandoms:
Oh, let's see: Miss Fisher. Stargate. The Avengers (Steed and Mrs. Peel). DCAU (Justice League and Batman: The Animated Series). Peripherally -- Doctor Who, Agent Carter, Agents of SHIELD, Forever, Blue Bloods. Old school -- Forever Knight, Highlander, Harry Potter. The X-Files. ST:TNG. Perry Mason. Battlestar Galactica (2003).

The last book you read/film you watched/song you listened to:
"Sing, Sing, Sing," Benny Goodman (1938 Carnegie Hall version)

What should a new friend know about you/your LJ and/or what are you looking for in an LJ friend?
My LJ is where I vent, and sometimes is fairly personal. As a result, sometimes I lock things down mostly to the folks I know in real life.

About me: I'm a politics junkie who loves to read, write, sew, and go to pilates class. I try to be tolerant of other people's opinions, and expect the same in return. I'm not working at the moment, so my open posts are going to be about fic, fandom, costuming/sewing, and probably any dwama related to getting prepped for DragonCon, 'cause that's the BIG elephant squatting on my calendar every year. I'm also a huge baseball fan and my team (Braves) is doing their best Jekyll/Hyde thing this year, so that might get a little iffy somewhere along the way, too.

Anything extra to add?
Hold the anchovies!
