Ack, I'm at work, but if you go to AO3 and search on Lettered, it should be the top thing on her list.

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

So if anyone's been following it, Lettered's Groundhog Day Avengers story is finished. It's really good, although I could have done with Tony being less of an asshole and Bruce being a little less wound up in his manpain.

It's the fifth story in this series: [link]

Yeah - I don't quite know how to deal with these characters. I almost felt like I was disassociating when I was reading them, especially whenever Bruce would get introspective. But! The science was fun to read/not-comprehend. And I like this Natasha.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

There was a recent fic where a line of dialogue was "Yeah, cya."

Um.

This was not a transcription of text message.

Which is the only instance in which this spelling could be acceptable. Does this person actually know what the words to "see you" are? Is this the current generations intensive purposes? I am afraid.

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

Maybe if you left a comment they'd have another thing about it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I ran across one today that substituted "mangles" for "manacles."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Good lord, Victoria Bitter (who currently goes by Andy Blake and I believe identifies as male) has apparently turned up in SPN fandom.

The word about him seems to have gotten out pretty fast.

Dana, I was just reading that! (But I have Seperis on my flist, and she just posted about it.)

Yet another reason to be glad I got out of SPN, I guess. But I did like Peg Kerr's post about DAYD, even if she did miss the way Neville became the Stu-iest of all the Martys.

Because books.

This is fascinating. I think I read about some of this before, but I didn't remember a lot of it. Or I might be thinking about another person.

In so many of the comments, people are saying how he always picks the craziest fandoms to join, but ... aren't the craziest fandoms generally just the biggest? I don't actually know, but it doesn't seem like you ever hear of a niche fandom that's really insane. Maybe that's because you just never hear about them?

Well, if he decided to join and pick up the canon Destiel baton, he won't stand out. if he wants wank, there needs to be a fringe stance, doesn't there, if not another shooting or disease?
