I got my assignment! And almost freaked out because the only fandom I had offered to write for was all the way at the end. But it's a good one!
This is exactly what happened with my assignment!
Aaaand I should probably write my "Dear Yuletide Author" letter, huh?
I'm quite pleased with my assignment as well. Now I just have to think of what the hell I'm going to write.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I got my assignment.
I... AHAHAHAHAHA.
Yeah. This is going to be bad for my health.
and then Sail provided baldly heretical links to ZenKitty.
Which I read heretically and enjoyed in the same way.
Belatedly, it occurs to me to ask, what pushes a fandom towards cute ship names instead of pairing smooshes? (Brought to you by an attempt to parse "Frostiron.")
Avengers. I assume it's Loki/Tony.
Stark and Emma Frost apparently had a thing in the comics at one point (or at least were retconned as having had one), so it could be that too.
I admit that I love "Stark Spangled Banner". Both the cutesy name and the 'ship. I don't buy it, really, but it's fun.
Avengers. I assume it's Loki/Tony.
Yep. I have friends who write it.
Personally, I don't get cutesy pairing names OR horrible portmanteaus, but I'm willing to accept that I may be the cranky one on this.
