I think I actually prefer movies-only canon, though of course I've been reading the comics sources for decades. There's more wiggle room for the characters to explore without that weight of history behind them.

Very much this. Plus, movie-canon allows for Coulson and Darcy, both of whom I like very much, and there's a whole thought of how the movies need some sort of accessibility the comics are lacking, but Phil organically grew into his (Coulson lives!) in a way I hope will be allowed for Darcy, because that kind of balance would be awesome.

Gotta beg off on both your plusses, as those send me to the back button as soon as I see them. (Actually, the mere presence of Coulson among a fic's character tags is enough to tell me it's not going to be for me.)

Why does the presence of Coulson ruin a story? Isn't he integral to many movie adjacent stories, especially casefiles? Darcy less so, but if Fury is in it, i wouldn't be surprised to see Coulson. I might be more surprised not to.

Because I really dislike fix-it fic that undoes a fairly important death in the story. I suppose if the story is set before the events of The Avengers it could be fine, but I've never run across one of those, just Coulson-didn't-die-so-there! fic.

I'm not properly in the fandom, but I've certainly come across a few of those. Sure, there's no Cap, but Iron Man or Thor interacting with S.H.I.E.L.D., I've seen.

However, since I've seen a lot of sincere speculation that he's alive, I'm not mad about stories concurrent or set later with him in, and they don't feel like desperate fanon.

Hi all. So, I've mentioned my ongoing game, "Scavenger Hunt on Infinite Earths here before, but I also wanted to share a story that's sort of emerging from it. Inadvertent fic, if you will. It's not terribly deep, but there are a few characters you're probably familiar with ...

"Mystery in Time!": Part One, Part Two, Part Three ...

More to come.

"Mystery in Time": Part Four: Wwhat happens when you put House, Buffy, Superman and The Doctor in the same bar?

Huh. I just got my first "can I write the story for your picture?" request from someone who I've never interacted with before.

I'm not a massive fan of hers, in that I'm not exposed to that much of it, but the WIP of hers I'm reading I'm enjoying. So I'm interested to see what she makes of the two pictures she asked about (both bondage-related, so the worst case scenario should at least involve orgasms--I can work with that).

Plus I'm chuffed as fuck. Given how dissatisfied I usually feel with my work.

I think I know those pictures! I approve.

Plus I'm chuffed as fuck.

That's how I felt when you drew the picture of Sam and Grace. No one had ever done that for me before, and you lifted them right out of the story. It was perfect.

I hate to ask this, because I suspect I don't want toknow, but what is knotting?
