We wish all our members and followers a Happy New Year and want to extend a THANK YOU to all our amazing event mods, participants, commenters and active members of the community. You’re what makes this community so lively and great!
There is always something going on around here - not least of all our annual fest and events and none of them would be possible without our wonderful active creators and participants, and everyone willing enough to step up and help! Please give all of them a shout out of appreciation.
Even by our standards, 2017 was an especially busy year for us at Cap-IronMan. Together we celebrated the 10 Years of Steve/Tony anniversary! We also celebrated the return of Season 4 of Avengers Assemble and the Ults Day. The year saw changes like the move of the main community to dreamwidth and after our exciting community merger we tried new things like the friending meme, our very own Steve/Tony kink meme and the daily posts. We want to especially thank the efforts of our cap_ironman_daily team to keep things running and exciting all month round!
What will 2018 bring?
Starting today, most of our our daily discussions will now be running monthly, where people can comment in continuously over the course of each month. The changes are as follows:
- Monday's Donate-A-Prompts and Thursday's Creator's Workshop will now be posted at the first week of each month to allow for continuous submissions and discussions.
- Friday Fanwork Recs will now have one theme per month, and people can rec (or self-rec) any work they've read that month!
- Sinful Saturday will run as the monthly Kink Meme.
- Tuesday's Themes & Prompts and Wednesday: What Are You Reading? will continue with weekly posts.
- Sunday Open Discussions will also be posted weekly, but with more of an emphasis on reminders regarding community events and our discussion posts.
We hope 2018 will be an exciting year, that we are already starting off with our Remix fest (sign-ups for the Remix Exchange are still open until Jan 7) and the Reverse Big Bang. A new Steve/Tony Bingo round will start in February.
Of course, we are also looking forward to running our annual fests. The Big Bang will start off in June, the Tiny Reverse Bang is set to run again in the summer and winter season will see another edition of our Holiday Exchange.
But that isn’t all.
Announcing the Cap-IM & MCU Anniversaries Celebration
In 2018 we have not one, but two anniversaries to look forward to.
Many mods and fans did their work over the years to make this community what it is now, and many newer participants may not be aware that the original Livejournal community was founded February 19, 2008.
Thus in February will be the 10th Anniversary of our community.
But we’re not the only ones who are turning 10! May 1, 2008, saw the release of a superhero movie called Iron Man that started off the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it today. With Avengers: Infinity War being released this April, we hope we’ll have cause to celebrate it together as the MCU turns 10 in style.
Therefore, from February to April we are going to celebrate both our Cap-IM Community and the MCU on our Dreamwidth, Tumblr and Livejournal!
In February/March we will celebrate the Cap-IM Community Anniversary with:
- A Party Post
- Chat party
- Nostalgia Challenges - challenges that were done in the early years of the c-im community
- An Open Ask Interview Meme - so members and shippers old and new can share their stories
- Themed discussion posts
- … and more!
In April/May our focus will shift to the Steve/Tony MCU Anniversary celebration with:
- Movie watchalongs
- MCU focused fanwork challenges
- Party and discussion posts
- Community Chat
- Themed discussion posts
- … and more!
We hope everyone is as excited as we are! All details will be announced closer to the anniversary dates.
In the style of last year’s 10 Eras & 10 Canons collaboration projects, we want to put together 10 Steve/Tony MCU Moments & 10 MCU Eras fanwork projects. So, if you’re a fic writer, fanartist or make edits and manips and want to be a part of this, contact us at cap.im.events@gmail.com.
You have your own ideas you want to bring in to this celebration? Great! Tell us! We’re open to all ideas and projects you want to bring to the table.
A Happy New 2018 to all Steve/Tony shippers! Let’s make it a marvellous Steve/Tony year.
Your Cap-IM Community Mods,
