Newer participants may not be aware that
the original Cap-IronMan Livejournal community was founded February 19, 2008. Today, we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of our community!
What started 10 years ago as one of the many pairing-specific LJ communities — founded after Elspethdixon and Seanchai had helped bring the Steve/Tony ship to more prominence when they started posting
Resurrection, Reconstruction, and Redemption in 2007 — soon grew into an active community, organizing and keeping alive different events and fests that have vastly grown over the years.
Today we want to thank all the different mods and teams, helping hands, and everyone who helped shape the community over the years. Thank you to all the people who have shared their ideas to make new fests and challenges happen, to all fans who have commented and shared recs, and to everyone who helped keep the love going. And of course we want to thank all our creators who contributed to the cap-ironman fests over the last 10 years, and especially to our pinch-hitters and the people who are willing to jump in to make sure everyone is happy in a collaborative event! We couldn't do any of this without you!
This is a celebration of our community and the community is all of you!
