I've never done a friending meme before-- hope I don't goof.
Timezone: Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4h)
What's in your journal:.Mostly RL & hobbies & occasionally mentions of fic I've written. Also I have one sticky 'How to Beta Yourself'
http://feng-shui-house.dreamwidth.org/1303474.html which is just a list of misused words I've read in fanfic along with definitions/proper usage.
What rating is your journal: Suitable for everyone- if I write something not-gen, I might put a link, that's about it
Interests/Hobbies outside of fandom: drawing & fabric design at Spoonflower, photography -mostly in my yard (but since I'm finding it hard to locate a reliable/affordable photo host I don't post pics very often these days), sewing (quilts, soft toy animals mostly again, not doing much recently I think my last was a couple of sock dachshunds), fighting my yard to keep it from becoming a jungle (I don't mind 15 inch long green lizards but I draw the line at platter sized poisonous toads), various crafts might happen.
DW/LJ friending policy? I don't lock stuff or have separate lists or mind who reads my blogs, so if you friend me you won't miss anything even if I don't friend back. I use cuts a lot so you can quickly skip past any entries that don't interest you.
What you do in fandom (read/write/art/squee etc): Mostly I read & write fic.
How long you've been in the Marvel fandom: Depends on how you count it. I was a member of F.O.O.M. (Friends of Old Marvel- a Marvel cracky fan publication WAY BACK before the Internet) and subscribed to a lot of comics back in the Silver Age, but gave up when the prices rose and the number of interlocked titles proliferated to the point I couldn't keep up. I'm not up on anything except the MCU (haven't seen the most recent tho.) since the Silver Age except for what I pick up from fanfic & some compilation books I bought before I got so confused I couldn't figure out which issues were in which Compilations.
Favorite Steve/Tony moment: I think the one where Tony rides naked behind Steve on a horse in another dimension. I like horses. :^)
Favorite Steve/Tony universe: old 616 for canon (wherein Steve and Tony were friends), MCU for fanfic wherein writers can slant things without Marvel's insistence on villanising the heroes, and heroizing (I can invent words, I have an Artistic License) the villains. I just... I don't get that. You have a perfectly good hero, let them be heroic, and let the villains be baddies.
Rec a Fanwork: Wow, so many...let me grab at random one of my many, many favorites. Tiny Spy Assassin Steve series by Copperbadge. You can't go wrong with Copperbadge, and non-serum badass Steve is always awesome.
Other fandoms/ships you’re into: I don't do much writing in other randoms, but have read & enjoyed a lot of Stargate Atlantis with John/Rodney, and Teen Wolf with Stiles/Derek. I used to be very much into Blake's 7, when the fandom presence on the internet was pretty much just a mailing list. We did have fun on that mailing list. Wrote a lot of B7 (mostly Blake/Avon) that wound up in zines. I put nearly all of it on AO3, including a lot that's so not up to my current standards, but some folks like looking at dinosaurs...
Exciting fandom plans/What are you working on next? I picked up a GenPrompts Bingo card, but haven't started it yet. They're great prompts, I'm just at the moment in fabric design mode, not fic writing mode. I tend to obsess on one thing at a time.I did recently finish Tic-Tac-Woe a mini bingo card of apocalypses. 9 fic, each in a different fandom. That was a nice bingo- very friendly and low pressure.
Anything else you'd like to share (gif, pic, squee?):
Ok, this is the clip that got me motivated to buy the Iron Man DVD, and the rest is history. It's a combination of butt wiggle, silly/serious, OW with Tony looking exactly like my ideal guy (tall blonds leave me cold. Eh, takes all kinds to make a world. I allow Tony to have Steve because I can't deny Tony anything he really wants.)

I do so love Tony Stark. *hugs him and promises that things will get better*
Re: I've never done a friending meme before-- hope I don't goof.
Awesome rec too. Tiny Spy Assassin Steve is one of my favorites.
Re: I've never done a friending meme before-- hope I don't goof.
Good luck with your genprompts bingo card!! and your fabric design work :)
Re: I've never done a friending meme before-- hope I don't goof.
I am so sorry I didn't buy the t-shirt they sold- it had a glorious, striding Hulk filling up the whole front, snarling and hauling a massive rope, with the words 'Here comes the Incredible Hulk' and the back of the shirt was the back of the Hulk, showing that he had a bunny rabbit pull toy on the rope and the words 'There goes the Incredible Hulk'. So much awesome, but I was a kid, and my allowance already went for comics subscriptions.
Re: I've never done a friending meme before-- hope I don't goof.
And oh man, I love that part in IM1! Sometimes I forget just how good a movie it is!
Re: I've never done a friending meme before-- hope I don't goof.
Especially Tony, his Silver Age Emo was epic and quite often giggle-worthy. Women are afraid of Iron Man! I will paint the armor gold, because that will make them like me!
Honestly, Tony. So cute and clueless and seeking approval, ALWAYS.
Iron Man 1 made the franchise- if it hadn't been so good, I really think Marvel would have given up- they certainly wouldn't have made efforts to create a massive linked cinematic universe.
Re: I've never done a friending meme before-- hope I don't goof.
TONY DESERVES ALL THE LOVE AND HUGS IN THE WORLD *hugs him too*
Re: I've never done a friending meme before-- hope I don't goof.
GROUP HUGS for Tony.
I haven't been doing much on blogs lately, so I haven't made many icons for Tony/Marvel. Will have to get 'round to that if we're going to be more active.
Re: I've never done a friending meme before-- hope I don't goof.
And that video is just the thing that makes my heart happy, it's the Tony Stark I love :')
Re: I've never done a friending meme before-- hope I don't goof.
Every once in a while I have to rewatch that video, just to make me warm and happy all over... well, that one, and the one where he's blacksmithing in the cave. Yeah. I could watch that clip over and over. ;^)
