Fannish Stuff
There are several things I've found lately:
The Mary Sue. I found this through Pulse News and almost didn't check it (because of the name), but I discovered it usually has a couple of interesting things to read/discover.
A member of the Fan Studies Network is conducting a survey about gender-swap fanfiction, and she's looking for authors, so if you're interested, I'll get you in touch with her.
"I can't see myself being a hero since I'm a girl, so those are out!". It's a excerpt of an interview with author Miranda Stowe and I went "WTF?"
The Avengers
I had lots of fun with it. Lots and lots and lots.
- When the movie ended I wanted a Black Widow/Hawkeye spin off (I want to see them kicking some asses), so if any of you have a fic rec, I'll be happy to read it (I don't care if there isn't any sex in it! I mainly want to see them fighting together).
- I loved Loki on the Thor movie and I thought here he looked a bit weaker. I think he could have tried to deceive his brother and the Avengers team (not only making them fight each other). I realise I like the actor too much and might be biased :P
- I loved the jokes and some of them are priceless. I have to admit I'm very fond of the "point break" retort, but it's mainly because that's one of my favourite teenage movies.
Now, I have to wait to the next Batman movie (and avoid the new Spiderman like the plague because I don't like the cast at all and the image looks like a cheap TV movie).
