Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 1 May 2011

Okay! Signups for the Big Bang have closed, but you can still participate by signing up to beta! If you can't face 25k, why not take part in a smaller fic challenge over at the comment fic post going on on the Dreamwidth comm? Anon commenting is turned on so everyone can play. Go prompt, go fill! Make someone happy!

On a more serious note, there's been a slight uptick in people using words like 'retarded' and 'gay' (gay as an insult, obviously). No one's getting yelled at or banned, but we'd ask you all to familiarise yourself with our anti-oppression policy. We'd like for this to be a welcoming environment for everybody, so if people could take a little care with their language, that would be aces. (Filthy pornography and generic foulmouthed swearing still totally acceptable!) I'm aware we have quite a few members who don't speak English as a first language, so please, feel free to PM one of the mods if you're in doubt about whether a word is appropriate.

Back to unbridled positivity, to everyone who adored Captain America: The Fighting Avenger, there's MORE! And it's a crossover with the equally adorable Thor: The Mighty Avenger! And it's FREE! Go pick it up on Free Comic Book Day (May 7th) and if you can't wait that long, here's a preview! (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] schala_kid for pointing this out!)



[livejournal.com profile] dangwhyme made an adorable comic about the ending of the Infinity Gauntlet arc in Avengers.

[livejournal.com profile] saphirerose1986 made a podfic of [livejournal.com profile] penumbren's story Reconnection.

[personal profile] muccamukk made podfic of one of my stories, Back Up Plan!

[livejournal.com profile] bellstark posted the first image from the Avengers Movie! already so excite for this.

[livejournal.com profile] dinahqueen posted a fic, But There Are No Ghosts Here.

[livejournal.com profile] seanchai posted Part 5 of Reassembled, by herself and [livejournal.com profile] elspethdixon

And our spontaneous party post is still trailing on, though it's at the point where drunken revellers start scoping out early-opening cafes for a fry-up...



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're looking for a particular story, why not try [livejournal.com profile] cap_im_finders? If you have any questions, you can comment here or PM a mod, that's me, [livejournal.com profile] muccamukk, or [livejournal.com profile] garrideb.

Cannot wait for Free Comic Book Day! Definitely snagging the The Fighting Avenger comic, plus I have a Carol/Wanda art commission to pick up. It's going to be awesome!
