Title: Night Run
Author: ltlj
Fandom: The Avengers (2012)
Words: 6,000
Rating: Gen
Summary: An unknown group abducts Bruce Banner, and Tony has to work with Nick Fury to save him.
Notes: Wonderful ensemble gen story from one of my favourite fan writers. There's banter and shenanigans and surprisingly touching character moments, and more banter. It's wonderful. Feels like getting more of the movie.

Saw Iron Man 3, liked basically everything about it immensely and have no real comment. Except there needs to be Rhodey/Pepper/Tony fic, and plenty of it.

In case you're wondering what just happened...

2013-04-10T18:39:45Z

Someone printed an anthology of Steve/Tony comics fic (including Paradise Found by No Silence Here, Trouble in Paradise by No Silence Here, This time tomorrow (where were we) by dorcas_gustine, Full Body Workout by Nix (Crimson Quills), Conjugate by Valtyr, Without Irony (WIPE 1 of 2) by tsukinofaerii, Per Expectations (WIPE 2 of 2) by tsukinofaerii, A Meeting of Minds by Nix (Crimson Quills), and Indelible by Penumbren. Excellent fics, from what I've read, and you should look them up, though that's not the Valtyr fic I would have chosen.) She promised to give away five copies, and make more availible on a print on demand site, sold at cost..

Random Avengers Pet Peeve

2012-11-30T23:51:26Z

I don't like it when, in movie fic, Bruce Hulking out is the punchline of a joke. I didn't mind it in MA:A where the Hulk was friendly and relatively non-destructive entity, but Movie!Hulk, especially prior to The Avengers, really, really isn't. And turning into the Hulk ruined Bruce's life and drove him to suicide. He's spent like the last six years learning emotional control so it never ever happens. The Hulk is not his friend.

Two More Avengersfest recs

2012-11-18T16:54:31Z

Title: Time and Place
Author: Unknown at This Time
Fandom: The Avengers (2012)
Words: 4,200
Rating: PG (profanity)
Summary: Maria Hill gets tapped for a society gig, with Nick Fury as her dinner partner for the evening.
Notes: This is seriously so much fun! Hilarious adventures of Nick and Maria undercover, the most awesome dress in history, Finding Nemo, UST and a marshmallow, with a peanut gallery comprised of one Natasha Romanoff. If that sounds like crack, it kind of is, but it's crack that works. Read immediately.

Things What Make Me Cranky

2012-09-05T04:11:38Z

Gah! Someone on my Facebook said they made a Twitter account for the sole purpose of hating on Elementary because making Watson an Asian woman was stupid and people who thought it was a good idea was stupid. Naturally, I took the high road and picked a fight with her.

Solicits for November

2012-08-17T22:21:26Z

Interesting month for Marvel as they're rolling out their new "Now!" line. The angle seems to be "Comic should be fun," with Hulk, Iron Man and Cap all tending towards adventure titles rather then Noir, A+X rather than AvX, and women everywhere. Look at all those women! Women writing things, women drawing things women leading titles. Okay, so it's no where near parity, and really the total of female-characters leading books is three, but still, on ward and up ward, says I!

Books and Stuff

2012-08-10T07:33:40Z

Just finished the latest Peter Grant mystery by Ben Aaronovitch. If you haven't read that series yet, you should. It's Doctor Who and Urban Fantasy and London Police procedural, all in one, with actual diversity. The latest book, Whispers Underground was a little lighter than the past one, and much more humorous, but didn't really advance the arc plot too, too much. I hope that gets going next book. Still, I enjoyed every page.

Well, That Was Predictable

2012-07-26T19:39:57Z

The plan was for me to come up and cover for a couple of days until they could find someone else. Then they found someone else. Then the whole coast disappeared into a fog bank. To conclude, I'm here until Monday. At least. Fortunately, I've made arrangements so that food wouldn't be a problem. In retrospect (and I kind knew this all along) it was silly to try to get back home in just a couple of days, but I wanted to see the friends that were visiting from Monday to Friday. Oh well.

I Love You All! (and have been given rum)

Firstly, I think it's odd that no one (to my knowledge) has written a Gothic Avengers AU. I feel there is a lot of room for play in this area, and it's been sadly overlooked.
