**cue impromptu dance party**

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.

Well, we had it on the top-shelf next to the crazy, but then the stalking and the crazy got together and made your mods, so we decided that they needed seperating before any other such dangerous accidents occurred ;)

I need to do some more Scarlett icons to even things out - I make too many of Renner, heh. Recently snagged a bunch of lovely pretty pictures of her <3

But...but...the mods are so adorable and...okay yes, clearly this thread proves they are dangerous.

And I'm not sure there's really such a thing as too many Renner icons, as I'm contemplating paid accounts in order to accommodate as many as possible.

Adorabe. ADORABLE. Bwahahahaha :D Ahem. Yes, of course we are.

Yeah, more icon space was a huge factor in why I ended up getting a paid account. I have an icon addiction. Plus getting rid of the adverts was bliss.

I am laughing spastically at myself because I just realized you and your icons of glory are the reason I *need* a paid account.

Between that and the squeals of glee everytime someone spams a new pic of this epic ship, the small people and my cats are looking at me like I've lost my mind.
inkvoices: (avengers:lmao)

[personal profile] inkvoices 2012-08-23 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I am made of smiles because you like my icons so much and I laughing my head of because I think that just proves, sunshine, that your mods? ARE EVIL ;P

I KNOW! I'm in thin-walled student accomodation these days and I keep clapping a hand over my mouth to stop my neighbours from wondering what's so hilarious about sitting in a room on my own with a ton of academic work to do lol.

[identity profile] shadoedseptmbr.livejournal.com 2012-08-23 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Evil, delightful..clearly these are synonyms in someone's thesaurus. *kisses*

I am so, so glad I finished my degrees before fandom swallowed me whole. My academic ambitions would never have competed with *hand waves* this. Also, am friending you out of utter icon adoration.

That would be a brilliant thesaurus! (Also, I have this problem now where someone says things like this bit of brilliance and I want to go and leave it as a prompt! Clint and Natasha's thesaurus! Or the Avengers have to figure out a Master Assassin to English dictionary! But, alas, the promptathon is closed for prompts. Meh.)

Ha, I did my degree, went to work for three years, and came back to uni to do a Masters. (One month left to finish my dissertation, argh.) I was keeping quiet in fandom because yeah, it's far too easy to get sucked in, especially when you don't have to keep normal working hours and you're online a lot of time for research, but...well, I have no will power against these things *grins*.

Friending you back, out of adoration plain and simple :D

[identity profile] shadoedseptmbr.livejournal.com 2012-08-23 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Alas...but I would read the hell out of either story, if they got written.

I did not finish my dissertation after being upended by my profs. When I went to work my employers were like, you need unlimited internet access to perform your job and I was...noooo, bad bad idea.

And simple adoration is mutual!

Speaking of friending out of icon adoration - I have to say, your icon is GORGEOUS. ::STARRY EYES::

[identity profile] shadoedseptmbr.livejournal.com 2012-08-23 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you kindly! My iconning ability is pretty much limited to scan or right click and crop, but it is my favorite!

Also, friending because <3

We are all what happens when stalking (of Sugar) and crazy (of fan love) get together, is what I was going for there. Introducing your mods: StalkingCrazy, CrazyStalking, StalkCrazier, and CrazierStalking?

[identity profile] sugar-fey.livejournal.com 2012-08-23 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm honoured that the stalking of me produced such awesomeness. *bows*

Wait, if this community was produced by stalking, and I was the stalkee, which mod am I? StalkingCrazy, CrazyStalking, StalkCrazier or CrazierStalking? IDENTITY CRISIS.

Wow, stalking doesn't look like a word anymore.

[personal profile] inkvoices 2012-08-23 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, maybe you're CrazyStalkee? We're practically a hive mind anyway, right, so I wouldn't worry about it ;)

I have two definitions for stalking these days: the nasty 'this is not good' one and the online fandom stalking is love one. ...this use of terminology should probably bother me more than it should :/

You raise my fic to more than it can be...

Is there a difference?
