Hello and welcome to the weekly
cap_ironman/
cap_ironman newsletter, where we will answer such pressing questions as Tony Stark, Top or Bottom? Does Steve Rogers know how to dance? and Will LJ ever stop being broken?
Okay, I'm actually prepared to answer precisely none of those questions, but I do have quite a bit of news this week.
On a personal note, as of Tuesday, 1 November, I'm taking an assignment on the Island with Little or No Internet, and won't back until December. In the meantime, probably best to PM
garrideb or
valtyr for questions or concerns regarding the comm.
Most important of all: Secret Santa Sign-ups! They're open, check them out!
Ever poke around the Marvel movie site? There's very little actual information on it, but I did find this
list of all movies set in the Marvel universe, or at least all movies they're willing to admit to. I see the '90s Cap movie isn't on there.
In terms of actual movie news,
Iron Man 3 is in pre-production, and director Shane Black has
a few tidbits regarding its themes and how it will tie in with
Avengers.
Captain America: The First Avenger is out on DVD and BlueRay, and
has handily outsold everything else this week. Who's got it yet? Any outstanding special features?
IGN has
an article speculating on the future of the Marvel film franchise and if it's leading to an event like Civil War. I would think
Avengers 3 would be more likely, personally, but then they wouldn't have space to properly fix it, either. Hmmm... Dear Marvel Studios: Please don't kill Cap.
Oh, probably old news to most of you, but has any one seen the
Sweded Avengers Trailer? I can't decide what I like most, Thor's wig or Natasha's.
Speaking of old news,
Marvel solicits are out for January. I'm in Deep Dark Mourning over the cancellation of
Iron Man 2.0, but it looks like there's some interesting stuff going on in Avengers in the coming months.
If you're reading
Captain America and Bucky, you may want to check out
Marvel.com's interview with new co-writer James Asmus, or take a look at the unlettered
preview art for CA&B #624. More questions I'm not prepared to answer: Who is the mysterious narrator? What's up with Natasha's eye shadow?
Finally, some lovely
work in progress/preview art from Daniel Acuña's upcoming run on Avengers. Why so grumpy, Steve?
( Whew! Lots of stuff to round up, too. )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 (Now at one hundred and fifty 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,
garrideb and
valtyr.
If you have recs for Steve/Tony material not found on the comm, we'd love to know about them. Also feel free to post on-topic or off-topic stuff in the comments to this post! Just keep it reasonably safe for work, please.
