Hey folks! Still updating daily, just posting to let people know that something big is going down in the infamous Chapter 153, which is getting posted in a couple days, so if you've been holding off getting started or haven't caught up in a while, it's a good time to do that!

Title: 1796 Broadway

Author/Artist: Tea Berry-Blue (Me!) and Rainproof
Universe: MCU
Pairings/Characters: Steve/Tony, Tony/Pepper, Secondary Bruce/Natasha, Steve, Tony, JARVIS, Natasha, Bruce, Clint, Rebecca Quan
Rating: PG-13, possibly veering into R on occasion for explicit language.
Warnings: Illness, Injury, Limited Mind Control, Discussions of drug/alcohol use/abuse, Discussions about animal abuse, discussions of suicide, construction accidents, car accidents, Money woes, Failing relationships, discussions of clinical depression, SPOILERS for all movies through IRON MAN 3
Word Count: 70,909
A/N: This is an ongoing epistolary serial in the classic sense of a serial, updated between 7 and 10 am Eastern Time daily with at least one new letter a day. For those of you who are hesitant to read "in-progress" fic-- this is a nearly-completed fic that is intended to be read serially, so no reason to worry that it's suddenly going to go belly-up. This is a mixed-media fic that occasionally includes comics, illustrations, etc.
Summary: Tony Stark likes to whine about other people eating his takeout. Steve Rogers can't type very fast and doesn't like screen glare. In an effort to be a good Team Captain, Steve demands that Tony put all his grievances in writing. On paper.

That was three months ago, and they're still exchanging letters. It's almost Christmas. Steve keeps getting turned away from the lab. They haven't blown up the universe...yet.

It's all on A03.

So, last night it came to my attention that for 2 dollars more you can get the 2 disc + digital version of Iron Man 3 from amazon. It is a pretty good deal I think 24.99 instead of the 44.99 retail. The regular 2 disc blue-ray is 22.99 from them.
The only minus is the 24.99 puts it one cent short of free shipping. But, I'm sure people can find something to add on. If nothing else you can add a light bulb. People always need light bulbs right?

I Illustrated one of my fics a while ago, and the more I looked at it, the more I disliked it. So here is a new one :)

Image is SFW, but fic is not :3

Cut for size! )

My brother came across this on Reddit and linked it to me knowing how much of an Iron Man fan I am as well how much of a geek I am for Technology. One of the people who worked on the Iron Man HUDs posted stills of it as well as close ups of what it would look like from Tony's viewpoint and some breakdowns on what it all means. I want the DVD to come out now so I can pause and see if I can catch some of the changes.

Here's a picture of one of the Stills from Tony's viewpoint.



The detailed blow ups of the display are too large to link her and I'm too lazy to shrink em right now. I love the amount of detail and thought put in it all and wow can Tony Multi-task with that much info for him to parse.

Here's the link to the page: Avengers - jayse
You'll have to scroll past the heli-carrier consoles to see the Iron Man HUDs. At the very bottom the person who posted up the page wrote:

"This is just an image dump of marvel approved stills and screenshots of my work on the film. I'll do a proper post soon - this is a fraction of the work - But I had the distinct pleasure of working with Cantina Creative, leading the design of the glass screens for the Helicarier in the Avengers. I also led the design and animation of the all new and upgraded Mark VII Hud.
All work was done in Illustrator, After Effects and Cinema 4d.

Included are some partial explanations of how the HUD diagnostic functions
Variations of it in 'all clear' mode, and a 'battle mode', after the suit has suffered damage and new windows have popped up to show depleted weapon stores and hazardous environmentals and general.

The flight menu was designed with input from an A-10 Fighter Pilot. I like to keep my stuff accurate.

I start all designs on paper so I included some ideas for the dock icons. In the final icons, the more detailed versions show system status based on the way they animate.

More soon.

I'm very much looking forward to the more soon :P

Edited: Put the picture under a spoiler cut.

In this week's the West Australian TV guide I came across a rather well-written and informative article on the upcoming Avengers movie so decided to scan it for others to enjoy. And don't worry - you'll find no spoilers here!

There's a short section where they interviewed Chris Evans that's relevant to our interests. He professes his admiration and high regard towards Robert Downey Jr.'s acting prowess and delight to be working alongside him. To quote his exact words: "I grew up on Robert Downey Jr. The guy can do no wrong. He's one of the most talented actors on the planet. He just has this magnetic presence."

Another interesting factoid from the article is how Evans was reluctant at first to sign on for the role of Captain America "Initially, I was being asked to sign on for nine movies. It was later pushed down to six movies but that is still an enormous chunk of your life taken out to play one character.'' Still - 6 movies! Many more to look forward to!

Scans ahead - click them if you wish to see the bigger versions. Warning: those with slower internet connections take note these are large image files.

Just as a heads-up because I think some of us are fans of the cartoon, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but there are reports that it will be cancelled soon. Check out this article for details, or check out ComicBookMovie.com which has quotes from Jeph Loeb about the direction he wants to take re the Marvel cartoons.

Whether this is a done deal or whether letters to Jeph Loeb will make any difference, I can't tell you.

I caught this Avengers promo after the most recent episode of Castle.  Needless to say, there was a deafening amount of squeeing in my house.  There are no spoilers, so feel free to watch!

Sigh...I can't decide which one is more adorable!

Hi! I'm a regular lurker, but ran across something this afternoon I thought everyone would enjoy seeing.

I was watching the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships over the weekend, and couldn't stop thinking that the USA goalie had Cap's A on the front of his mask! So, I went looking for pictures, and lo and behold - I was right!

The link below is to a press release about it, and it has some really nice pictures.  I just thought somebody else would enjoy squeeing over it with me... ;)

Okay, you guys... I AM OBSESSED with this movie (and it won't come out for another year OMG). I go online and look up news articles about it almost every day. Sometimes, I even hit refresh a few times to see if anything is different. IT'S THAT BAD.

This is not, by any stretch, ALL the links I have pertaining to this movie, but they ARE the most recent. I was sort of gathering them behind a locked entry because I didn't want to inflict madness on anyone else, but FUCK THAT NOISE. COME JOIN ME IN MY CRAZY.

Also: THERE ARE PROBABLY SPOILERS IN HERE FOR ALL THE MARVEL MOVIES AND, OF COURSE, THE AVENGERS. I can't remember any, specifically, but be forewarned.

Also II: Son of Also -- Likely swearing, abuse of capslock, and a liberal gloss of personal opinion (Such as: I don't DISLIKE Joss Whedon, but I'm terrified he'll disappoint me. I've been burned before! *shakes fist dramatically* If your opinion is that this makes me a horrible person, that's fine and I accept that, but you may not want to read the commentary). There are no naughty images, so as far as THAT goes, it's work safe...?

Screw cookies. Our side has TONY STARK. )

That is all.

Also III: The Return -- x-posted to my journal. Apologies to [livejournal.com profile] nightwalker who therefore has to see this twice.

The trailer for Captain America has run and is up for viewing here.

Squeeing to follow.

 I thought I would post this here on the comm so that people can check it out.  Apparently Marvel is adding to the hype of Cap's movie by debuting a digital comicbook tie-in which will be available to DL (the first part anyways) at CaptainAmerica.com during Superbowl Sunday.  It's also supposed to give in clues how it ties into Ironman 2 and Thor.  You can take a look at the 2 page preview Over Here
Hmm, my first impression is Ultimate Cap [grins] but the...thought bubble...made me laugh and go maybe not.

A character who spent most of his origin years fighting in the European Theatre is being filmed in ::gasp!:: Europe! Instead of in LA! He's not a real patriot anymore because he's not supporting the US economy!

...Really, Yahoo? Even if it is being done for the sake of film costs and not for authenticity, seriously, guys. Please let this be a gigantic dose of sarcasm, because dear God, it's just kind of sad and pathetic otherwise.

And for further WTF, this is on Yahoo's front page as well.
