Hello, and welcome to August! The theme this month is Avengers, so if there are any Avengers on which you want to post discussion, scans, or squee, go here to pick a subject and a date, and post away!

If you still have free time after that, wander over to c_im_bigbang, where there are still author sign-ups, cheerleader sign-ups, and beta sign-ups.

In movie news, it looks like there will be clips from the upcoming Thor and Captain America movies 'hidden' on the Iron Man 2 special edition Blu-Ray. Read more about that here.

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.
