The Happy New Year Edition of the weekly
cap_ironman/
cap_ironman newsletter.
Comm news: I'd like to send out a big thank you to everyone who participated in the Santa exchange this year. I'm desperately trying to look at everything before the reveal on January 6th, but there's just so much fantastic fic and art to get through.
What's next for the comm, you may ask? Well, in the next day or so, we're rolling out Bingo Cards. You can sign up any time, and have a whole year to work on your card.
On 5 January, we're opening artist sign ups for our second Reverse Big Bang challenge (that's where artists draw pictures for authors to base their stories on). I'll be sure to post the relevant links when the time comes.
A few bookkeeping details: We've been trying our best to keep everything tagged, but it really helps when everyone pitches in. Anyone who has previously posted a fanwork to the comm should have a user tag in the format of
x: username. We're pretty good at making them within a few days of a new user posting, but if you don't have one, just let the mods know and we'll set you up.
Secondly, we have a new(ish)
beta list. If you have a bit of time to help out your fellow fen, please consider signing up. It's a very rewarding process, I've found. Plus you get to read the shiny fic before everyone else.
You know it's a quiet week for comics news when I'm going to lead with a story about
RDJ getting lifts for
Iron Man 3. I guess everyone's too busy doing top ten lists.
Comicbook Movie did a
round up of Avengers film rumours. This may contain spoilers, but really, who knows. They also posted the
Russian trailer, which has a few new clips, but is mostly worth watching for Samual L. Jackson in Russian..
Not Steve or Tony related, but neat nonetheless: over at Comics Alliance, you can
watch Paolo Rivera draw a really skookum Daredevil cover.
( So much shiny! )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.
And feel free to post on-topic or off-topic stuff in the comments to this post! Just keep it reasonably safe for work, please.
