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.

She is pretty awesome, isn't she? *G* I think it's pretty cool. And I saw you here and thought, hey! That's her. Now how do I introduce myself without being completely lame?

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

She's the best -- we've been friends for (::does math::) a really long time. Over ten years.

So! Yes! HI!

I was having paroxysms of awkward all day yesterday, "can I just ask if I can friend someone? Is that a thing you do? Should I introduce myself? IDEK!"

(Please do not think that means that I am not also being awkward today. OH NO.)

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

Oh SO AWESOME. HIIIIIII!!!!

So, let me introduce myself, I'm Anuna, a shippint - TV - movies - fic writing addict. Currently hopelessly obsessed with hawkeye and Black Widow and ALL THE SHIPPY THINGS. I really really REALLY want to friend more C/N people, is it okay if I start with you?/not being awkward AT ALL.

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

I would be DELIGHTED! Yes, please to be friending me and I shall be friending you back.

I came to fandom long and long ago via Buffy and Harry Potter (mostly Harry Potter). Most of what little fic I've written is HP, with a smattering of LOTR, and Avengers.

I'm fixin' ta write a whole bunch more Avengers. C/N isn't maybe my first/primary/only ship (can I say that here? Is that okay?) BUT I do like it v. v. much and also you guys have the best bar.

I like to do the fanqirly squee, and I love me some good meta and I have OPINIONS LET ME SHOW YOU THEM and I do love me a good gif set.

So.

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

YES TO ALL OF THIS! EHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!

I have written in Stargate Atlantis (that's my mommy fandom), Castle, Legend of the Seeker, even some Harry Potter! harry Potter is so awesome. And now I'm hereeeeeeeee!!! I love writing fic, reading, discussing, I enjoy good meta and yes OPINIONS LET ME SHOW YOU THEM. In fact, I'm planning something about that scene where Clint wakes up from Loki's mind control.

FRIENDING YOU NOOOOW.

I need to go do some kind of introductory post thinger over on my LJ. I've made a lot of new friends in the last day or two. :)

(Please to be excusing the current barren and dry wasteland that is my LJ. I haven't been using it regularly.)

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

Hey heeey! No worries. I need an introductory post as well, as I've friended quite a few people lately (not only on this comm, but people I've found here are PRECIOUS).

How do you feel about discussing fic (in general?)

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

Do you mean in the meta/analysis "oh hey I used to be an English major once" sense? In theory, I absolutely LOVE the idea of doing that (and I love reading it). In practice I'm often so tired that my comments end up looking more like "Fic good. Fire bad. Tree pretty."

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

Nah, not that deeply intellectual - I love to analyze stuff, but English is my second language. There's always language barrier that sometimes bothers me, but I try :) And my comments tend to look like that too!

Leaving a gif, just because.

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

I can honestly say that I would not have guessed that English is your second language.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

but English is my second language

OH MAH GAWD. You're kidding me. Never would have guessed. Amazing! :D

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Her English is better than many of the native speakers I know!

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

OMG you didn't know?! !!!! I am kind proud of myself now :D

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

I couldn't see the gif at work (dumb work filters block images).

I LOVE YOU TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, what are your other Avengers ships? I adore them all and pretty much ship everyone with everyone, but obvs love C/N bestest. But really, all of them. All the love.

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

I have a free love attitude too and will read damn near anything if it is a)moral and b)well written (with a sub-clause under moral that reads "not squicksome").

More specifically (but not exlusively) I ship:

Tony/Pepper
Steve/Tony
Steve/Bucky
Darcy/Bruce
Darcy/Steve (Steve gets a lot of love.)
Clint/Darcy
Hulk/Purple (okay, I'm kidding. Mostly.)

Ooh, I've also read a Tony/Pepper/Steve that really worked.

It's a shipapalooza over here in Kade-town.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Shipapalooza. I approve this message. :D

[kadollan.livejournal.com]

There are hardly any plural nouns that would not be improved by adding "-apalooza" to them.

[cybermathwitch.livejournal.com]

::blushes::

Also, yay you two have met now! :D

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

Yes, because I am loud and nosy and stuff! And I promise I won't steal her or something *G* I'm just overwhelmed in a "OMG I am meeting new friends!" way :D
