Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 19 June 2011

[garrideb]

Welcome to the cap_ironman/cap_ironman newsletter. First off, this is your last chance to vote in the moderator poll, which will close tomorrow. There's a four minute featurette out on YouTube called Captain America: Behind the Shield, which is actually pretty interesting, but ever so slightly unsubtle about their sponsor. If pinball is your thing, then you might be interested in this trailer for a Captain America pinball game. I've never seen pinball look so epic.

As always, feel free to talk about anything in the comment section.

I'm looking forward to the movie. It'd better be as best or better than X-Men First Class :).

I'm thinking of writing a "So you want to ship Marvel women" Primer. So far I drafted Misty/Colleen, Anya/Rikki and Destiny/Mystique.

For people who're creating things, how's your progress? My wip doesn't co-operate with me right now.

Still plugging on with my WIPs, which fight me every step of the way. SIGH.

[snowynight]

Bad WIP. (Hit it into shape)

No Pepper/Natasha? My sadface. Let me show you it.

Woe. Woe and damnation is my progress. D: My plot jumped the rails and is currently rolling downhill into WTFville, population: me. (siiiiigh) I had such a lovely outline, too.

I think this may be the summer of the Writing Woes. Everyone seems to be having trouble. :\

[snowynight]

Well, it's just the beginning of the drafted primer.

I'm sorry to hear about your fic trouble. Hopefully it'll improve.

I love the idea of a primer for Marvel femslash! If you want any help with Carol/Wanda, just let me know ;-)

I'm pretty much done with a fic I've been slowly working on for over a year, so I'm happy about that. Just needs a bit of final tweaking. The only thing I'm working on currently for Marvel fandom, though, is a Steve/Tony fanvid that has completely stalled. I'm going to try to work on that this weekend. I want to get it done before the Cap movie comes out.

[snowynight]

Congratulations! Good luck with your vid!

I've come to the point in my WIP where I have to face the fact that I never actually outlined my big plot-resolving climax. I just have "BIG PLOT-RESOLVING CLIMAX GOES HERE!" on that page in the outline, and now I'm almost at that part and have no idea what to do. Eek!

[snowynight]

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you can write around this and speculate based on what's happened?
