The Snow Queen [Illustrated], Story the First - A Mirror of Steel

[objectivelyp1nk.livejournal.com]

So back in last year's Fairy Tale challenge, the lovely elspethdixon wrote a fantastic story called "The Snow Queen." She was kind enough to let me illustrate the story! <3<3

Title: The Snow Queen (1/7)
Author: elspethdixon // Artist:: objectivelyp1nk
Rating: G
Pairings: Steve/Tony, plus other canon couples.
Note: The characters depicted herein belong to Stan Lee and Marvel comics. The story and some of the prose is taken from Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen."
Elspeth's Summary: For pandanoai's fairytale challenge. Retelling (based very, very heavily on the original) of Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen. Because cygna_hime has kindly allowed me to share her prompt.
My Summary: Steve goes on an epic quest to find his BFF.

Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 14th March 2010

[valtyr]

It's that time of week again! I hope you're all having fun.

I've seen a few people remark on their frequent posting; we do actually have a spamming and abuse policy. No one's been violating it (so keep posting, guys!) but if you're unsure, check it out. Also, we're pretty sure we used to have a "scan posts must be locked" rule, but then we couldn't find it written anywhere. So we've added the rule to the profile page, and please adhere to it from now on. Again, no one's done anything wrong, and posting some scans to squee over/promote a comic/make a canon query is absolutely fine, we're just making sure the rules are clear. You are an awesomely well-behaved comm in general, and we the mods are grateful to you. :)

In comics news, you can now buy yourself a first-model arc reactor to sit on your desk! At $150, it's pricey, but looks pretty cool. There's a big preview of several Siege comics here featuring Nick Fury in a pretty stylin' jetpack. And over at io9 there's an entertaining nerd argument about whether the shared universe of the Avengers will confuse movie-goers. I for one think a movie-goer who cannot grasp the shared-universe concept will probably find the bright lights and movement suficiently amusing, but hey.
