Cap_Iron Newsletter #1

[pandax-pro.livejournal.com]

Hey Fandom!

Just in case you all get busy during the week or want a nice rundown of things so you don’t have to go hunting around the comm, here is the first edition of the Cap_Iron Fandom Newsletter. We’ll be posting it every Sunday. Let us know if we messed up on anything.

Also Member tags have been added. If you want to go through and add Member tags to your favorite author or artist (or combination of the two), feel free. Also feel free to add your own Member tag to your own entries, either from the past or from now on. That way if someone really likes your work it’s easier for them to find you quickly by just clicking on your tag. (Ex. x: your_lj_name)

Oh, and Lan wants to remind everyone of the maybe kinda sorta probably prizes for the Spring Challenge :D So have fun working on your 200 word drabbles! And awesomely awkward fanvids!<3

I suspect this will make keeping up with fic and art vastly easier. Thanks so much for doing this, guys!

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

no worries :D

it's what we're here for <3

[jwaneeta.livejournal.com]

I like this, expecially finding the, erm, kink memes in one place. Link those to the main page? In for a dollar, in for a dime. :)

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

hmm I'll see what i can do :D lately when i try to add things to the sidebar the whole comm looses its pretty collage and turns purple o_0 -- our other mod [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] is working on a new layout where that won't happen XD

[jwaneeta.livejournal.com]

No worrres, it was a rash suggestion. I formally withdraw it. :)

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

aww don't do that!

i tried, and the comm turned purple ;__; but i'll be sure to add the kink memes to the side bar once we get the new layout :D (oh! that and the love meme :D)

[dorcas-gustine.livejournal.com]

i tried, and the comm turned purple
It's all that kinky sex.

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

lawls

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Having been one of the many editor's on the HP_Art_daily I know how much work this is, but guys, I just want to let you know that it is FANASTIC!!! *flail* You rock.

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

*g* thanks so much! that means a lot! <3 <3 <3

also MEMBER TAGS!! Thanks for the suggestion :D

[toranoko.livejournal.com]

YAY! Newsletters are such time savers. Thanks for doing this. :D

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

no problem :)

[empty-splendor.livejournal.com]

Haha girl your icon has cracked me up. Which is impressive because I'm typing this without visual aid.

How the hell is he sitting crosslegged in that armor?

[dorcas-gustine.livejournal.com]

It's flexible metal.

[empty-splendor.livejournal.com]

Yeah... but there's no way that's comfortable!

[dorcas-gustine.livejournal.com]

They're having a moment, screw comfortable. Tony's vision is probably filled with Cap and rainbows and bunnies (and maybe unicorns, too), he clearly isn't thinking about how the blood flow to his legs is cut off.

[empty-splendor.livejournal.com]

True... Steve does do funny things to the brain... oh, love!

Oh wow, that's very organised

[jazzypom.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

Re: Oh wow, that's very organised

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

glad you like it :D

[jynx.livejournal.com]

Uhm, just an FYI (if you wanna link to it) comicstore_news does a fantastic job grabbing fic from EVERYTHING. Not saying this isn' shibby, but just to mention they've been logging the comm for a while....(if this sounds wrong, i am half asleep)

[ani-bester.livejournal.com]

Dude! Where has that comm been my whole life.
I'm so lad you mentioned it! YAY!

(I love the comm specific one here cause you know because it so neatly summarizes everything and I wish it had existed when I missed everything while getting married *L* But that other comm has other fandoms and and wow!)

[jynx.livejournal.com]

^^ comm specific is awesome, but fandom specific is too. I've slowly been getting into DC so it's been a godsend (and when I've lost fic, it's a good way to go find it again)

[elspethdixon.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, but they also link things I prefer to avoid going near, so getting a list of comm-specific links would be awesome (I have this terrible inability to avoid clicking on links I *know* will upset me once I've seen them, and I've found that just staying away from places that I know will include such links makes me and everyone else much happier. If I were truly strong, I'd be able to extend this to metafandom and avoid going places where stuff like various pro authors' utter racist fail is linked, but alas my addiction to metafandom is even stronger than the lure of porn).

[jynx.livejournal.com]

Hunh. Interesting. *yeah, brain has yet to come back online. metafandom wuh?* I just liked comicstore because it lets me find some DC fic, mostly because I got no idea where to look for some stuff. Now I have stuff and I is happy~ But comm specific is good too. But yeah, if it keeps you from clicking on tehBad, then I understand your feelings on that

[elspethdixon.livejournal.com]

brain has yet to come back online. metafandom wuh?*

Comm and set of delicious links that collect pan-fandom meta. There tends to be a lot of rage-inducing things there alongside all the interesting things. The most recent round of rage-inducing involved a bunch of people from the pro SF writing/publishing world arguing with SF fans about representations of race in sci-fi/fantasy. Terms like "orcs" and "nithings" were tossed around in regards to black/latina/Asian/Indian fans who were complaining too loudly (and then a fan who had posted several anti-racism essays was outed).

Actually, that was the most-recent-but-one. The most recent rage-inducing links were the ones yesterday about amazon.com categorizing all GBLT-themed books as explicit/adult material (including academic texts and YA books) and stripping their sales rankings away.

[jynx.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh. Yeah, that exploded over a lot of ya authors on my list. Srsly, wtf Amazon. But yeah, I get that. Heh, I used Racefail in a paper, actually. Amused the hell out of my prof. That I referenced it, not the actually thing. Yeah, shutting up until I have caffeine in my system.

[elspethdixon.livejournal.com]

The sheer amount of fail in Racefail really blew me away. I guess I expected professional writers to handle that kind of arguement/debate/fight better than fans do. I'm not sure why, given that published authors have displayed some truly impressive wanky behavior in the past *cough*AnneRiceandRobinHobb*cough*

[jynx.livejournal.com]

Meanwhile there are some truly awesome writers (Gaiman, Tamora Pierce) who start squawking the moment this type of stuff start happening. I've never read Hobb and I'm starting to think this is a good thing. But yeah, pro writers are just so high on their own damned self-importance it gets drainingv after a while. I can only go to the trade cons for so long before I to snarl at them to get over themselves.

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

yeah they're what gave us the idea :D

we just felt like if people were worried about their stuff falling off the main page we'd have a week in review sort of post

[jynx.livejournal.com]

^^ i figured. was just putting it out there in case no one knew.

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

ah, cool. thanks for sharing :D

[jynx.livejournal.com]

Yupyup. No offense meant.

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]

none taken :D

thanks again

[empty-splendor.livejournal.com]

THank you for doing this! It's crazy organized.

[pandanoai.livejournal.com]
