August is almost over, so if you want to post something for Avenger month, hurry and sign up! September's theme will center around the genre of hurt/comfort! Read more about what that entails or sign up for a discussion post over here.

Most of the recent comic buzz is about Cap. Photos from the set of Captain America hit the web recently. You can read more about the photos here. Joss Whedon talked a bit about serving as a script-doctor for the script of Captain America. And Marvel posted a concise history of Cap's shield.

Request: Captain America/Iron Man Roleplay

[theillusionist.livejournal.com]

I hope this isn't too much of a long shot!

I'm kind of looking for someone to role play some sweet Iron Man/Captain America with me.  Sort of like a round robin, except one of us is in charge of our respective characters.  Writing a story!

I'd love to play either Captain America or Iron Man, but note that I've only read the following:

--Tales of Suspense #39-65
--all of Warren Ellis' Iron Man: Extremis run
--Matt Fraction's The Invincible Iron Man, #1-25  (which just makes me sigh in despair, really)
--The Avengers, v1 #1-4
--New Avengers, v1 #1-11
--all of Marvel Adventures: Avengers, Iron Man, and Superheroes. *g*

Everything else about the Avengers, I learned from fandom!  OK, that was bad, but I've read a lot of wikis and gone through tons of scans (especially from that Slashy Moments list).  Probably the only reason I'm not writing fanfiction is because of the above--I've unfortunately not gone through enough fandom to really ground myself anywhere, which is why I'd like someone to help me develop Tony and Steve's characters in my brain more. 

I can play Tony or Steve; it doesn't really matter (I'm more familiar with Tony than Steve, but that's okay--need to be familiar with both sides of the coin, am I right?).  Bear in mind I can't handle anything too dark and would prefer something more on the light-hearted side of things.

We can do it in a variety of ways--over LJ and on AIM/MSN/other messenger are probably the easiest ways to do this.  It doesn't have to be too long-term, but I would like it to last.  We can hash out some sort of AU, or just a "getting together" type of story--anything is fine.  We can put our creative minds together!

OK, well, that's all I have to say.  I was never really any good at finishing. *sheepish*

Fanart - Steve, Tony, SteveTony. It happens. ;)
