Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 27 June 2010
A pretty quiet week here, but to compensate, a thrilling all-new header for the community! A special thank you to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fire_tears for letting us use her picture hosting for so long. Also, following comm discussion, our new rules, including an anti-oppression policy, have gone live. We've incorporated feedback from community members to make it as clear as we can, so do familiarize yourselves with it.
Also, this weektsukinofaerii posted some meta on writing fanfic, with a focus on Steve/Tony. This is great, and we encourage comm members to post discussion posts or essays, as long as there's plenty of Steve, Tony or both. However, in response to member concerns, I'd like to reassure you that the mods do not intend to police characterization unless the abuse rule is violated (extreme and noticeable OOC.) There is no 'set' characterization of Steve or Tony, who have in canon been written by many different writers, and writing tips, tricks or guidelines are not rules that you must abide by. I hope this reassures anyone who is concerned; if you're still worried, please do get in touch.
ellyr_in_ink posted a cute clip from Super Hero Squad.
muccamukk posted a selection of Steve and Tony icons, and discussed the bewildering tendency of villains to leave Steve's clothes on when chaining him to the walls. At least take his top, guys! It's armour! You don't leave armour on captives!
tsukinofaerii posted Part One of what looks to be an epic series on writing fanfic.
illuminatius posted Know you think you're special when you dress real crazy.
ferchu posted a terribly funny picture based on the writing meta. Hee.
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. 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 have any questions, you can comment here or PM a mod, that's me,muccamukk, or garrideb.
