We have 500 people watching this comm.

Let me say it again: We have 500 people watching this comm. And 442 members.

On May 6, 2012, when this bar was opened, we had 4 (and yes, those four consisted of your beloved mods who saw a little film called Avengers and had some feelings and just wanted a place to find some fic and geek out.)

So, in honor of this momentous occasion, I hereby declare it to be Friday one day early. Bring me your squee, your flail, your randomness, your Renner Problems, your Scarlett Feelings, your team!shawarma love, your pics, your gifs, your thinky thoughts, your what-the-heck-ever you like. Today is a day of jubilee, my friends.

I love everyone in this bar.

Oh God, Hemingway. That's the worst. Just, we're drawing the line at Joyce, alright? Man couldn't think in a straight line if you handed him two nails and a piece of string to tie between them.

Clint knows it's the worst, but they apparently need punishing. HEMINGWAY IT IS. :D

Dude, okay. So there are book club rules, right? And rules of friendship? And the number one of both of those are 'Never inflict Joyce upon the people closest to you. (whether situational or emotional.)'

Steve wants to do Shakespeare, and Thor thinks that's great, because theatre he understands. Tony says that they have to read it aloud or he's not playing, but they call his bluff and star with Much Ado About Nothing, before moving into Othello and then Midsummer Night's Dream. They have to watch the movies, of course, after each play and spend hours arguing over casting and directorial choices (and how could you leave that line out?!?! That line makes the whole scene make sense, Jesus Christ.)


Haha -- do you mind if I friend you?

[earlofcardigans.livejournal.com]

Tony's issues with Shakespeare stem from his earliest reading of Julius Caesar. But he will concede Twelfth Night. If only to try and act that one out and have Natasha wearing a reasonable facsimile of his goatee. Steve and Clint are, of course, overjoyed.

:D

Friends yes, let's!

Tony sometimes narrates his life. He likes to leave rooms mumbling "Exit, pursued by bear."

[earlofcardigans.livejournal.com]

That's the best thing I've heard about Tony recently. New head canon accepted!

No, no, Joyce is Rule #2. Rule #1 is STEINBECK.

(Rule #3 might be Joseph Conrad. Which might be followed closely by Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison. And I might not be entirely over the trauma of high school English.)

BUT THERE IS NEVER ANY EXCUSE FOR STEINBECK. ALSO NATASHA WILL DECIDE TO DO A DEMONSTRATION AND SHOOT YOU IN THE HEAD AND SEE IF YOU LIKE IT!

Ahem.

Issues, I have them. Heeheehee!

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

Conrad is the devil.

[earlofcardigans.livejournal.com]

The only reason that isn't Rule #1 is because I've completely blocked it from my memory!

But Clint and I will accept this rearrangement and thank you for fixing our oversight. :D :D

AND NATASHA ONLY DOES THE WILLIAM TELL FOR AN AUDIENCE AFTER SHE DRINKS VODKA FROM THAT SPECIAL BOTTLE SHE HIDES FROM EVERYONE. NEVER EVER ASK HER TO DO IT OR GET CLINT TO ASK HER. IT'S DISASTROUS FOR THE WORLD!

I love that you guys are PLOTTING THIS FIC FOR ME when my notes on it from my actual facts notebook were along the lines of:

Tony: Hey Clint?
Clint: Mmm?
Tony: How would you have stopped hte Velociraptors?
Clint: What?
Tony: In Jurassic Park. Be Muldoon.
Clint: I have more than one rocket launcher.
Tony: Oh.
Natasha: Clint doesn't do animal jobs.
Steve: Animal jobs?
Clint: Nothing with poop. It's in my contract.
Bruce: Why didn't I think of that.
Thor: Are you sure these beasts are extinct? I would ride an Apatosaurus like my Father rides Sliepnir.


...LOOK I LIKE JURASSIC PARK OKAY

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

That's kind of brilliant, that is.

THERE SHOULD BE MOAR!!! :D ::SMASHES CUP::

I AM CURRENTLY WRITING COMPLETE CRACK SO THIS ONE IS ON THE BACK BURNER.


Here is a sneakpeak of the current crack:
Darcy’s Guide to the 80s, 90s, and today.

An illustrated guide, compiled by Darcy Lewis, for use in educating Rogers, Captain Steven (alias Captain America) in the ways and customs of the greatest generation.

Security level 2.


Furby- Sometime in the halcyon days of our misspent youth, we who skirt the edge of Gen X and the Millenials fell into a fad - greater than pogs, greater even than Power Rangers and Spongebob, at the pinnacle of the cry of every child who longed for a pet but was deemed too poor; too allergic; too irresponsible, at the top of that mighty plint we find the rare Furby, a virtual pet who was not made of pixels, (see: Gigapet, Tamagotchi) with a beak and ears and eyes that blinked, Lord Furby of Creepdonia sang and talked and, on the rare occasion of great joy, danced. If you open packet 3Q, you will find a Furby for your own investigation, with the requisite batteries installed. His name is Kah.

I HAVE GOTTEN TO THE PART ABOUT NERF GUNS

STILL WAITING FOR A PLOT

[dictator-duck.livejournal.com]

... you have killed me. I am dead. *crying of laugh*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

Noooo do not die! Then you will never know that he names his Furby Libby!

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

Holy shit. Can't. Stop. Laughing.

*settles in for delightful Darcy story*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

It's actually more of a Steve story with Darcy interludes, but I'm about thiiiiis close to making him read the effing Babysitters Club, so I should probably be stopped.

[shadoedseptmbr.livejournal.com]

Eeeeee...no, no that should totally be done!

[spottedpenguin.livejournal.com]

I need this fic for reasons.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

It is at 3000 words, no plot or end in sight.

[spottedpenguin.livejournal.com]

The Doctor and I approve of the neverending plotless crack fic.

[earlofcardigans.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you didn't mind that I decided to run away with your idea!

oooooo! MOAR DINOSAURS!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

No, please, go for it! I am glad to give away plot bunnies, I have too many.
