Made it to Boston, yay! When I come back there will be cats, which I will get to live with for the whole rest of the summer! (We have decided their codenames for the summer are Adorabloodthirsty and Fruity Rumpus Asshole Cat. Because, well.)
Also it seems to have been decided that a bunch of fannish-ish people will be meeting to see Brave for the 3:30 matinee at Loews Boston Common, and then Pho. If anyone else in Boston who has fannish credentials would like to join us, you are still welcome to!
My last multishippy self-indulgent full-of-feelings Avengers fic is going to hit 10,000 views just about the same time my current multishippy self-indulgent full-of-feelings Avengers fic is going to hit 10,000 words. O tempora, o mores!
And speaking of Avengers, I have some kind requests to make of the fandom at large:
1. If you are writing or talking about Jane/Darcy, hooray I love you! More please? Only, please, please, can you always specify really clearly (outside the cut) what fandom you're talking about, or at least that it's femslash?
Because if you don't my brain immediately goes to the other obvious fandom for those names, and a) that ship is very, very wrong, and b) I start wanting to add to the fic that begins ( It is a truth universally acknowledged )
The only real problem it isn't femslash - Jane must end up with Thor of course, and I haven't yet figured out if I go with the original and Darcy ends up with Thor's overproud, manipulative, and rich foster-brother, or she gets the dashing and merry young sharpshooter from the ____shire regiment (who has perhaps not been as candid about his own past as would be ideal) instead.
Also, of course, that I have way too many other things to write.
So be kind, when you talk about Jane/Darcy, specify fandom.
2. Also, directed to an entirely different subset of fandom: Thor's Hammer is spelled Mjollnir. There is a certain amount of leeway allowed as it's a translation, but in no language is it spelled as if it rhymes with Kolinahr. When you spell it as if it rhymes with Kolinahr, I start thinking about the story where Jane is messing with Einstein-Rosen bridges and quantum entanglement and accidentally sends Bruce, Tony, Natasha and Darcy to the Starship Enterprise and Bruce and Spock get to talk C'thia.
And nobody wants to see that.
Nobody, right?
Especially not the part where Chekov referees Natasha and McCoy having a drinking contest.
