January Friending Meme  
Hi All, Happy New Year 2016! We've already got some fun things planned for this year and we thought we'd kick things off with a getting-to-know-you, getting-back-in-touch, friending type thing. It was lovely to see newer faces joining in with things like Secret Santa, and the older faces popping in that we haven't seen for a while, and, well, we do love a good old friendly bar chat in these parts. So grab yourselves a drink, copy and paste the box below into a comment to tell us a bit about yourselves, and chat away!





Other fun Friends style Avengers vids: one two three

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.)

MCU, comics, or all the things? When it comes to the original works, I'm "All the Things!" But when it comes to fandom and fanfic, I'm essentially strictly MCU. Comicverse is too complicated for fandom in my opinion.

Which upcoming Marvel films are you looking forward to and what are you hoping to see in them? Captain America: Civil War. I'm hoping to see Hawkeye. Lots and lots of Hawkeye.

Tell us a thing we've done that really enjoy here (promptathon, secret santa, ATTF etc) and/or suggest something you'd like us to do: I'm pretty new here, but I like the promptathon. Can't what for that to start this year. And secret santa. I'd love to get into that this December.

After Age of Ultron are you camping out at the farm, by that river in Egypt, in a world of AUs anyway, or another camp all together? I'm a little bit over everything. I'm perfectly happy at the farm. I love Daddy!Hawk! and Laura, Cooper, Lila, and Nathan. But I'm also just as happy to pretend that they don't exist.

What things do you love to see in fics/creative works, what’re a few of your favourite things? I love "slice of life" fics, seeing the things they get into during down time. Probably because I love delving into the little quirks and hobbies the movies don't have time to delve into.

What's your favourite thing (or one of) that you wrote/created in 2015 (link please!) and why? I only wrote two things in 2015. Only one is a complete work so: http://archiveofourown.org/works/4599318 (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4599318)

Give us 3 sentences or a teaser of something creative, fic or otherwise, that you’re working on: "Jack Murdock had a 24-31 record before he died. Not all of those wins were his." That is the chapter teaser for the other fic I started this year, which can be found here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5228471/chapters/12057125. It is meant to be so much more than that. In my notes, its a three part Daredevil! Origin epic that starts with Jack/Maggie and then Jack & Matt's story in part I, becomes Matt's story in part II, and ends as Matt & Foggy's story in part III. I've also been playing around and outline a Hawkeye! Origin story, melding together some comic book origin and Laura.

Rec us something (fic, vid, art, graphics, meta, anything): I've read so many amazing works since joining this fandom. I love this one though: http://archiveofourown.org/works/4094032

You're on the creative team for a new Marvel comic or film, featuring whoever you like and about whatever you like. What does the film poster or the comic cover look like? I have no idea. But it definitely has Hawkeye on it!

Any other fandoms you're currently into: Daredevil. Does that count as different even if its in the MCU? And X-Men.

The last book you read/film you watched/song you listened to:The Hunger Games

What should a new friend know about you/your LJ and/or what are you looking for in an LJ/online friend?I'm LJ's all about fandom anymore. It used to actually be an online journal, but is basically just fandom now. That's all I'm planning on using it for. Its been a while since I've posted anything on it.

Anything extra to add?I'm still trying to scrape the rust off my keyboard. But even then I'm a slow slow slow writer. Fast reader. Slow writer.

Aww, but I kinda love that in comics, you can pick and choose so many different elements and NONE OF THEM IS WRONG. Don't love Laura? Want Circus backstory? Want more Winter Soldier? YOU CAN HAVE IT! I loved this about Xmen too.

This is EXACTLY how I use comics in fandom. So convenient! :P

Hello, hello, hello fellow fast reader, slow writer :D Pleased to say we should have more than one promptathon style event throughout this year, plus other things, to keep you going before Secret Santa, do come and play!

X Men <3 And oh, Daredevil. I really need to finish watching you; i'm missing out on fic!

Hiya -- just went over the friending meme and realized I hadn't replied to your post. Wanna be friends? Just a warning - I do post a fair bit about RL, but mostly with photos (I love taking photos...)
[identity profile] mitchpell.livejournal.com on February 20th, 2016 05:57 pm (UTC)
Absolutely! Just want to tell you, I love your writing. I don't post much real life stuff anymore, so I'll be pretty quite, but absolutely.
