ATTF: New Mod & Friending Meme  
The hawk-eyed among you may have noticed that we've added [livejournal.com profile] findthesea to all the modly contact information on the comm. We've now increased the mod team to five people to keep up with you lovely lot! So warm, best bar welcome to [livejournal.com profile] findthesea!

We're also seeing new faces and returning faces in the bar following Age of Ultron, so welcome and welcome back!

And this all seems like a good time for a getting-to-know you, friending style, All The Things Friday. So copy and paste the following into a comment, grab yourself a drink from the bar, and let’s have some fun!



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.)


If you haven’t already read the rules and our post-AOU message please do :)
And if you have any ideas for an ATTF post or would like to host a ATTF the latest sign up post is here!

MCU, comics, or all the things? More MCU than comics...but mostly headcanons of fic writers?
How many times have you seen Age of Ultron (so far)? Twice; I totally thought I would want to watch this at least 4 times in the theater (like I did Avengers and Cap 2), but I THINK I'm good with tumblr graphics at the moment.
Camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? All of the above. My new headcanon is the Barton family is a real thing, there has never been anything other than amazing friendship between Clint and Nat, that Clint and Laura are so in love and have been through so much together, but also that Laura eventually will die being awesome and heroic and THEN things start to change between Clint and Nat, and something new and beautiful develops.
Give us 3 sentences or a teaser of something creative, fic or otherwise, that you’re working on: Working on my first fic!! Its about (surprise) my headcanon above. However it is going extremely slowly since I spend time thinking about it without actually writing anything down. I sent the plot to alphaflyer so its a real true fic attempt. But I guess I need to attempt at it a bit better?
Rec something (fic, vid, art, graphics, meta, anything): Inkvoices has some awesome meta on her livejournal about AOU
What things do you love to see in fics/creative works, what’re a few of your favourite things? I love evocative storytelling, I like laughing and crying. And also titillating sex ;) Oh and Barney! I love me some Barney Barton.
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: I think everyone already said it...food, headcanon/fic pow-wow, talking trash about things we don't like, intelligent discussion, squeezing over all the good things, and finally Avenger impressions. Can someone win the lottery already?
Any other fandoms: X-Files, Hunger Games, Star Trek TNG and Enterprise
The last book you read/film you watched/song you listened to: Mockingjay/AoU/Shut up and Dance
What should a new friend know about you/your LJ and/or what are you looking for in an LJ friend? I want to post more on my LJ but I get anxiety sometimes (I don't know why)...I think its b/c people post little things on tumblr but I don't really know how to work tumblr so I would rather just post on LJ but don't know if that is really weird. But I'm a nice person and would love all the awesome friends on here!
Anything extra to add? I LOOOOOVVEEE this community so hard!!!

Ohh, good luck for your first fic! That's as exciting as it is scary, isn't it? XD
[identity profile] happilydancing.livejournal.com on May 29th, 2015 09:27 pm (UTC)
YES! I actually think this could be a good fic but I just keep getting paralyzed. But it doesn't actually HAVE to be good, right? There is leeway where first fics are concerned? Freshman forgiveness? ;)
[identity profile] shenshen77.livejournal.com on May 29th, 2015 09:30 pm (UTC)
All first fics suck one way or another ;) Just run with it, you already have a great sounding board in alphaflyer, she beta'd my first fic as well :)
[identity profile] happilydancing.livejournal.com on May 29th, 2015 09:47 pm (UTC)
Yeah at this point I just want it out. At the very least I can just post my plot and call it a day, haha.
[identity profile] shenshen77.livejournal.com on May 29th, 2015 09:52 pm (UTC)
That's the way I felt about my first fic too ;) Just let it fly, hehehe.
[identity profile] happilydancing.livejournal.com on May 29th, 2015 10:11 pm (UTC)
Sounds good to me!

Absolutely, and not only that, but right now all you gotta do is finish a draft that you can edit and poke at and make good. And there are people around to help you with that. You can doooooo it!! *\o/*
[identity profile] happilydancing.livejournal.com on May 29th, 2015 10:11 pm (UTC)
Good point. Thanks for the encouragement! :)
[identity profile] alphaflyer.livejournal.com on May 30th, 2015 12:37 am (UTC)
And yes! I'm waiting for the first couple of pages ... ! :-)
[identity profile] happilydancing.livejournal.com on May 30th, 2015 01:11 am (UTC)
Yes, so am I! ;) Haha. But good news-hubby took my laptop (which hasn't worked in 3 years) to the shop and they apparently fixed for $45 (he is picking up on Monday). I know it still won't write itself but at this point I'm just going to get the stuff DOWN and sent out to you. So apologizing for the mess that will land in your inbox this week. ;)
[identity profile] alphaflyer.livejournal.com on May 30th, 2015 01:31 am (UTC)
Looking forward to it! *waves pompons of enablement*

And I'll send you an e-mail tomorrow about the "other thing" -- I'll need a bit more time for that one. :-)
[identity profile] happilydancing.livejournal.com on May 30th, 2015 05:33 pm (UTC)
Oh no rush on that AT ALL. Just whenever. ;)
[identity profile] spyforaday.livejournal.com on May 29th, 2015 10:06 pm (UTC)
Putting the first fic out there is a little overwhelming, but go for it. Take that leap! We'll catch you. ;)
[identity profile] happilydancing.livejournal.com on May 29th, 2015 10:11 pm (UTC)
That's so sweet!!! Makes me smile :)

Another shout of encouragement for first foray into fic writing! Go you!
