Okay! Signups for the Big Bang have closed, but you can still participate by signing up to beta! If you can't face 25k, why not take part in a smaller fic challenge at the comment fic post going on? Anon commenting is turned on so everyone can play. Go prompt, go fill! Make someone happy!

On a more serious note, there's been a slight uptick in people using words like 'retarded' and 'gay' (gay as an insult, obviously). No one's getting yelled at or banned, but we'd ask you all to familiarise yourself with our anti-oppression policy. We'd like for this to be a welcoming environment for everybody, so if people could take a little care with their language, that would be aces. (Filthy pornography and generic foulmouthed swearing still totally acceptable!) I'm aware we have quite a few members who don't speak English as a first language, so please, feel free to PM one of the mods if you're in doubt about whether a word is appropriate.

Back to unbridled positivity, to everyone who adored Captain America: The Fighting Avenger, there's MORE! And it's a crossover with the equally adorable Thor: The Mighty Avenger! And it's FREE! Go pick it up on Free Comic Book Day (May 7th) and if you can't wait that long, here's a preview! (thanks to

schala_kid for pointing this out!)

( round-up! )

Finally, if you're a new or recent member, hello and welcome! Our rules are here, and in the profile; this includes our warnings policy, so please read. If you're interested in the ship, you may want to read the Ship Manifesto, and consult the list of Slashy Moments. If you're planning to write for the comm, there are some tips on writing the pairing here, and the Avengers in general here; if you're having trouble finding a beta, or would like to offer your services as a beta, our beta list is here. If you're looking for the comm archive, it's Tales of Suspense, and it's automated - you can create an account and upload your fic. If you're looking for a particular story, why not try

cap_im_finders? If you have any questions, you can comment here or PM a mod, that's me,
