ATTF: Looking Forward to 2018  
HELLO BEST BAR. New Year, New Excitements, New Frustrations, NEW MOD (HELLO!)

Yes, ‘tis I, your new mod, kicking off [community profile] be_compromised 2018 ATTF with: THINGS WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2018.

2018 has to be better than 2017 right? I mean, for one, we’re getting Black Panther this February which obviously makes this February better than last, right? And this is also the year of Infinity War and Bearded Cap (!!!).

But other than that, what are you looking forward to? Do you have any fics, fanvids, or other creative works you hope to start/progress/finish this year? (Can we have a sneak peek?) Have you made any new year's resolutions? What films/books/TV shows are coming out this year that you're excited about?

Let's have a chat about good things! And I know that this is a Clint/&Natasha comm but we’re all friends here right? Branch out! Is there a non-Marvel film that you’re stoked for? (They do exist: strange but true!) Excited for a book that’s being released this year? Tell us about it! Maybe someone else is excited about it too. (I, for one, am excited about Nick Hawkaway’s Gnomon being released in paperback this year so I can finally read it.)

How to play: copy and paste the contents of the text box below into a comment and fill in the answers, then have a chat with people about the great things 2018 has in store.

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.)

BOOKS!
I've read all of these except Burial Rites (which is in my pile, aha) and seconded :)

I think perhaps these might also be up your alley:

1. All The Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater
Here is a thing that everyone wants: a mircale. Here is a thing that everyone fears: what it takes to get one. Colardo 1962. A family who can perform miracles and the pilgrims who come seeking them. Renegade radio. Love. One of my favourites from 2017.

2. The Rook by Daniel O'Malley
Essentially what the magical M15 would be in Harry Potter. Complete with civil service bureaucracy and hilarity. It starts with our female, middling-aged protagonist waking up in a park in London with amnesia surrounded by dead bodies with a letter from her former self in her pocket telling her that someone wants her dead. She has to figure out what's going on. Whilst figuring out what the hell her job even is and how to do it. Amusement, espionage, magic.

3. City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong
Depends how dark you like your books, but Armstrong does steamy romance and if you like mystery - there is a town in the middle of nowhere and off the grid that takes in people on the run. Casey is a homocide dectective with a secret who let's her best friend, on the run from an abusive ex, get them in. They want Casey, because the town has had it's first murder and everyone has secrets...

I'm on goodreads here !

Re: BOOKS!
The Rook! That book is great. Have you read the sequel? A bit bad-fanfic-y but really good fun. :D

Re: BOOKS!
It is in THE PILE. The pile which is...more than one pile... *whistles innocently*
