It’s the seventh day of reveals! Each day we will be revealing gifts created by 2020 Cap-Iron Man Holiday Exchange and Community Gifts Event participants. The gifts will remain anonymous until January 11th, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the works and guess the identities of creators. (Remember, if you've got a work in the collection, please remain anonymous until after creator reveals!)

Here are today’s gifts!( ENJOY TODAY'S REVEALED WORKS AND GIVE THEM LOVE! )

To check out all of this year’s gifts (so far!), head over to the 2020 Captain America/Iron Man Holiday Exchange AO3 Collection.

When your gift is revealed, please be sure to comment and thank your gifter!

If you’re the creator of a gift that’s now been revealed, you can reply to any comments and stay anonymous — AO3 will automatically show you as "Anonymous Author" until the creator reveals.

Finally, you may want to change the publication date of your work to today’s date so that it shows up at the top of AO3's feeds. AO3’s guide is available here and we have a more detailed version here.

Happy holidays, and we hope you enjoy all of the revealed works!

Announcing the 2021 Cap-Iron Man Reverse Bang!

[cap_ironman_fe]

Happy New Year, everyone!

It’s January 1st somewhere in the world, which means that the 2021 Cap-IM Reverse Bang is now open for art submissions! Submissions will remain open until the end of February 10th.


EVENT INFORMATION | ARTIST GUIDELINES | PODFICCER & WRITER GUIDELINES | FAQS

The Cap-Iron Man Reverse Bang is a Steve/Tony fanwork fest where artists and fanvidders submit artwork and writers and podficcers create a 5K story based on the work that they claim. It's the chance for artists to inspire stories, and for writers to collaborate on a fic that has a visual prompt. This fest aims to encourage the creation of more wonderful fanworks for the Steve/Tony ship—but it's also a neat way to meet new people who share your passion for the ship in its various forms, and to have fun!

Whether you're a seasoned artist who has participated in the Cap-IM Reverse Bang in the past, or an inspired newcomer who has just the right idea in mind, we want to see your version of Steve/Tony!

Ready to join? Send in your entry by February 10th to participate in the Reverse Bang and have your fanwork claimed!

For more information on this year's schedule and how to join, please read through the Captain America/Iron Man 2020 Reverse Bang Information page.

Finally, if you need some ideas to get you going, check out our Prompt Post and the Inspiration Post tag on our cap_ironman Tumblr. You are also encouraged to drop off your own prompts!

We’re very excited to see what everyone comes up with this year, and are happy to answer any questions sent in to cap.im.events@gmail.com, via IM or private ask on our Tumblr, as a comment on the Dreamwidth guidelines post, or publicly on our Discord server.

Have fun, everyone!

Captain America/Iron Man Community Check In 2021

[cap_ironman_mod]

The cap_ironman community was created on 19 February 2008 as one of the many pairing-specific LJ communities that made up journal-based fandom spaces at the time. It soon grew into an active community, with different passionate community mod teams organising and maintaining an ever-growing variety of events. Today our home bases are Dreamwidth and Tumblr, with a smaller presence on other platforms. A lot of fun, feels and creativity were shared as comics went from losing Steve to the first Civil War story arc, and as new universes were created, giving Steve/Tony fans a range of canons across the vast Marvel multiverse.

cap_ironman wants to continue in the spirit of the work and love that all the mods, creators, commenters, reccers and Steve/Tony fans from around the world put in, and give you a fun space for your Steve/Tony needs now and in the future.

It's been a while since we last checked in with the Cap-IM community, and we'd really love to hear what you think about the way things are run, and how we can make the community more enjoyable, successful and inclusive!

The survey below is open to everyone who considers themselves a member of the cap-ironman community, whether you are a member or follower of one of our community platforms, a participant in our events, or anyone who regularly drops into Steve/Tony spaces..

We're re-gauging the community's opinions with relation to some event guidelines, and have some questions about the ways you engage with the community.

Click here to give us your feedback! You have until the end of January 24th.

Note: this survey is anonymous unless you choose to share your contact details with us.

We thank you in advance for your participation!

A Happy 2021 to the Cap-IM Community!

[cap_ironman_mod]

We would like to wish everyone in the Cap-IM community a happy Gregorian New Year! Despite the global pandemic, we've been busy as ever, and we want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped us make 2020 another fantastic Steve/Tony year.



We hope that you've enjoyed participating in this year's events and that the community has been there for you in these trying times. Thank you to our wonderful community of commenters, creators, event mods, reccers, readers and signal boosters! We wouldn't be here without you, and we hope that we see you in 2021.

In May, we launched a brand new event: the Stony Trivia Quiz! Held online via Discord to bring our vibrant, Stony-loving community together, this was such a success that we ran a second quiz in October. We loved seeing people's guesses and enthusiasm in cheering the teams on! Also in May, a year after Avengers: Endgame screened, we looked back to 2012-era Stony with a special challenge, Fanwork Like it's 2012! Creators of all kinds got involved in this fest, with lots of fabulous prompts and fills. What a great way to reminisce about them good ol' fandom days, or try your hand at a classic prompt! We also ran all our usual challenges, with a return of the Tiny Reverse Bang as our mid-year event.

Two of our community mods, dapperanachronsim and faite, stepped down this year, and we welcomed on board a new addition to the comm mod team: Neverever. We have also made some changes around the comm with the aim of making it as welcoming, accessible and inclusive as possible. These have been based both on our observations as fandom culture has shifted, and on specific feedback — thanks to those of you who shared your thoughts with us!

We're still on that journey, and have some more improvements in the works! Also to that end, we would like to introduce our Community Check In survey. We recognise that it's been a while since we touched base with you all, and we'd appreciate your feedback immensely.

Navaan generously gifted us with another year of paid Dreamwidth account. If any of you feel inclined to give the community some paid time/DW points to help us keep things neatly organized, that'd be very appreciated — we went over the 1000-tag limit for free accounts back in 2018 and the tag list just keeps growing ♥

What will 2021 bring?

Well, lots of Marvel-ous new Stony content, for sure! Holiday Exchange and Community Gifts reveals are in progress, and Remix Relay and Remix Exchange participants are creating fabulous works as we type. Remix Madness will be opening on January 10th, and the 2021 Reverse Bang opened for artist submissions today. We'd like to make a special mention to our beloved RBB event, which is entering double digits this year as we celebrate its 10th anniversary!

The rest of our annual events will also be coming round again, with STONY Bingo, Comment Bingo and Kinkmeme still open throughout the year. We have also have what we hope will be a fantastic new event to keep you thinking about Steve/Tony across the multiverse — it was delayed by COVID, but we aren't letting that stop us and, of course, a we'll run a midyear event again, so keep your eyes peeled for an announcement!

Finally, a reminder: you are all welcome and encouraged to post content to the cap-ironman community platforms. We do ask that some basic info be listed in English if you're posting a fanwork, but you can post in any language that you like! We encourage everyone to post in the cap-ironman community — this is your space to talk about Steve/Tony and what you love about it, chat about the latest canon, as well as promote your works or run mini-events!

A happy 2021 to all Steve/Tony shippers! We hope you all have a fantastic, safe and healthy year wherever you are, and that we can once again invite you to join fun Steve/Tony events to get the creative juices going and give everyone new Steve/Tony works to enjoy.

Here's to another smashing Steve/Tony year!

Your Cap-IM Community Mods,
Lore, Navaan & Neverever
