I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

I don't know if folks here read much Avengers movieverse fic, but here's a Steve/Tony story that I just had to rec while I'm still in the warm glow of reading it: [link]

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Matt, you know I think you're wonderful, right?

That was lovely. Thanks very much for the rec.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ooh. Thank you, Matt.

That was delightful, Matt.

I thought the style of writing sounded familiar. The author has also written Ironsides with a genderswapped Tony, which I enjoyed very much. I pretty much troll AO3 and not the fic comms, so I didn't catch the story that Matt recced. Also, the author uses a different name on AO3, so the DW name didn't ring a bell.

That author rarely disappoints.

It was such a relief to read characterizations that gibe with what I saw in the movie, and not the recurring tropes that have been setting my teeth on edge in most of what I've happened upon lately. I definitely know who I'll be checking back with for my Avengers fanfic needs. I think I ran across my favorite of his stories first, but all of them are pretty good.

Do we know any vidders? When are the fandom auctions that we can bid on vidders? Because thanks to a conversation elsewhere, I now want a Tony Stark and Loki compare/contrast vid set to "Big Shot" by Billy Joel. This is not a thing I ever thought I'd want.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Ahahahahaha! You should post that on Tumblr.

Also, hey, I've been wanting a Lord King Bad Vid to Behind Blue Eyes for Jackson on Teen Wolf, so clearly, we just need to make someone we know do our bidding. Have I mentioned the frustragion at having a film major spouse and not having vids on demand?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unfortunately, charity fund raising seems to be the simplest way to get a vid commissioned. Because lord knows I want someone good to set Sail by AWOLNATION to a D/C or Misfits vid, but I don't want there to be a disaster for me to get it.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Maybe a charity fundraiser for, say, Planned Parenthood or an assault counselling service? I'm sure Laura Shapiro on LJ would have ideas about that.
