Welcome again, and thanks for joining!




Here's me:
What are your favorite Marvel movies or shows?
The Cap movies and The Avengers are my favorites of the films, so far. I have really enjoyed both Netflix shows as well, and although I thought Agent Carter was a bit more uneven, I liked it anyway.
What are your favorite Marvel comics?
I don't read that many comics, though I've picked up a fair bit by fannish osmosis, but I've enjoyed what I've read of Fraction!Clint, the Young Avengers, and Kamala Khan.
Which upcoming films/shows/comics are you looking forward to the most?
Black Panther! He was amazing in Civil War. (I've been meaning to read his recent series on the comics as well.) I'm also really excited about Captain Marvel.
Who are your favorite Marvel characters?
Steve, Bucky, and Peggy are my biggest favorites, but I also love Natasha, Sam, T'Challa, Thor, Pepper, Trish, and many more.
What are your favorite Marvel ships?
Steve/Bucky has completely eaten my brain and makes up the majority of the Marvel fic I read, but I'm a multishipper and Steve is my fandom bicycle - I ship him to one degree or another with almost everybody who's not evil. I'm also very fond of Sam/Bucky (I love bickering couples), Clint/Natasha, and Tony/Pepper, among many others.
What are your favorite genres, tropes, or kinks in fanfiction?
I don't mind some angst along the way, but I prefer happy, or at least hopeful, endings. Aside from that limit, I'll try pretty much anything once.
What other fandoms are you/have you been involved in?
My most active two were Harry Potter and Supernatural. Remus/Sirius remains one of my biggest OTPs. In Supernatural I was more of a gen person, because I didn't really ship Wincest and left the fandom before Destiel got big. I've also dabbled in Star Trek (TOS and AOS), Merlin, Hamilton, Hawaii Five-0, Teen Wolf, Battlestar Galactica, Sherlock Holmes, and some more obscure ones.
Yay to fraction's Hawkeye, young avengers and kamala! ❤
Have never commented on here before, so apologies if it borks!
How did you become a Marvel fan and what do you think draws you to Marvel fandom in particular?
Watched the Avengers in 2012, towards the end of its run in cinemas, and was immediately hooked. Quickly consumed all the other films, and when I ran out of them moved on to the comics.
I really like Marvel because it just has such a lovely tone. It's really hopeful and optimistic even when terrible things are happening, and I like that.
What are your favorite Marvel movies or shows?
Jessica Jones is my favourite show, favourite movies are the Thor ones quickly followed by Guardians.
What are your favorite Marvel comics?
ALL OF THEM. But, uh, I really like the Fraction run on Hawkeye and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl!
Which upcoming films/shows/comics are you looking forward to the most?
I'm actually really excited for Doctor Strange! And basically every film next year, and Captain Marvel, and Black Panther.
Who are your favorite Marvel characters?
In MCU it's Steve, in comics... Hm, both Hawkeyes are pretty high?
If you could make one Marvel character real, which one would you pick and why?
I think Kate Bishop is capable of functioning as a human being, so probably her?
What are your favorite Marvel ships?
Steve/Tony, Peter/Ronan and Hank/Scott for MCU. And a hell of a lot of things in the comics? I love Kate/Clint in particular, but there are definitely others.
Do you make fanworks of any sort, like fic, vids, art, or graphics?
A looooooot of fic, yes.
What are your favorite genres, tropes, or kinks in fanfiction?
I like fluff and optimism, but will read most things. I also like superpowers being used inventively.
What other fandoms are you/have you been involved in?
Um, many. But at the moment: a ton of fandoms of one (usually detective novels), DC comics, DCAU, Babylon 5, Star Trek: TNG, Star Wars and Animorphs.
This has been one of the big appeals for me as well. I've burned out on grim!dark - I'm enjoying having stories that focus on essentially good people trying to be good.
I've seen some gorgeous art for that (this one's a favorite, but NSFW), but I don't think I've read any fics. Got any recs?
Yeah, I definitely agree! I can stomach grimdark for a while, but in the end I prefer things where the general tone focuses on hope and doing your best no matter how hard it gets. :D
That art is GORGEOUS. Thanks for linking me!
There's some good stuff out there! I'd recommend both of below, one being tropey canon-set goodness (I'd also read everything else by Geckoholic, if you like that) and one being a slight AU:

Thank you for the recs!
How did you become a Marvel fan and what do you think draws you to Marvel fandom in particular? I became a fan of the MCU mid/late 2012 after I watched The Avengers for the first time on DVD.
What are your favorite Marvel movies or shows? The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Iron Man 2, Iron Man, Ant-Man
Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter
Which upcoming films/shows/comics are you looking forward to the most? Doctor Strange, Thor 3, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man 2
Who are your favorite Marvel characters? Tony Stark/Iron Man, Pepper Potts, Thor, Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, Scott Lang/Ant-Man, Rhodey/War Machine, The Vision, Black Panther, Peggy Carter, Edwin Jarvis, JARVIS, Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Daisy Johnson, Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz, Mack, Lance Hunter, Bobbi Morse
What are your favorite Marvel ships? Tony/Pepper, Thor/Jane, Clint/Natasha, Steve/Peggy, Vision/Wanda
Do you make fanworks of any sort, like fic, vids, art, or graphics? Yes, I write fanfic, specifically Pepperony friendly fic!
What are your favorite genres, tropes, or kinks in fanfiction? Romance, kidfics
I LOVE Pepperony. Even though Steve/Bucky is my favorite ship, Pepperony is probably the closest thing I have to a Marvel OTP, just because I have a hard time imagining them with anyone else! I really hope they reconcile in IW.
I will be FOREVER MAD with Marvel if they don't fix Tony and Pepper! There is no one else for either of them and Tony needs/loves Pepper so much.... having to see Tony without Pepper in Cap 3 was painful to watch and made me so sad!
Pepperony truly is my OTP in the Marvel fandom and always will be!
Agreed with you both! Nobody in MCU really handles Tony much like Pepper does. Their dynamics was absolutely perfect! I guess the main reason they broke them up was just to give Tony more angst /:
If giving Tony more angst was the goal they succeeded because I don't think he's been in love with a woman like he has been with Pepper!
Sighs all will be forgotten if they're back together by the end of the Infinity War/Avengers 4 - especially if they're married and there's an Iron Baby on the way!
I reaalllyy hope they end up back together 💔
I think they're ending Iron Man after the Infinity War arc? Since RDJ didn't renew the contract. (I can't recall which movie it was) so yeah worse case is they kill him. Best case is he goes to a remote island with Pepper and Happy (and Rhodey, maybe) and they all live happily ever after!
Yeah I am pretty sure that RDJ is stepping down from Tony/Iron Man after Infinity War/Untitled Avengers movie and when that day comes I'll be beyond sad as I love Tony so much. But nothing lasts forever and if it's time that he steps away I don't want anyone else to EVER play Tony Stark because let's be honest Tony belongs to RDJ now.
But yeah, I just want things with Tony to end on a very happy note with Pepper. I want them together again because as I said there's no one else for either one of them!
I got into Marvel through Yuletide. I liked the X-Men movies, but hadn't really got into the comics because Wow! So many! Much confusing! But then someone asked for Captain Britain and MI:13 for yt, and it looked so interesting I picked it up, and then I picked up New Avengers, and now here we all are.
I am heartbreakingly in love with Jessica Jones and really liked Agent Carter though felt it had flaws. My fave movie is probably the first Thor though I liked the first Avengers and AoU a lot (ducks).
My current favourite comic is Mockingbird which is so funny and so fun. I'll be sad when it gets hit with the Inevitable Cancellation.
I'm hoping the new Alias comic will be good, though I have a mixed relationship with Bendis. I'm unbelievably excited about the Black Panther and Captain Marvel movies, if they ever get made.
My favourite characters are probably Luke Cage (I AM SO EXCITED I COULD DIE!), and he's also my if I could make one character real choice. I also really like the whole Heroes for Hire crew, and most of the Avengers. I love everyone in this bar, okay?
I ship a lot of things: Steve/Tony, Carol/Wanda, Luke/Danny Luke/Danny/Jessica, Misty/Colleen tend to be the ones I've ficced for. I also make shitty icons from time to time.
Huge, huge fan of h.c, and basically ALL the tropes. ALL OF THEM!
I can't think of any recs right now. I do post recs a lot on my dreamwidth though: https://muccamukk.dreamwidth.org/tag/by%2Bme%3A%2Brecs (I'm Muccamukk almost everywhere).
I've been in a lot of fandoms, but The Lord of the Rings is pretty well perennial for me. I also currently like some of the DC tv shows, mostly LoT and Supergirl.
Welcome!
I've been hearing good things about Mockingbird recently, it's another on my list to check out.
Get it before it's cancelled (which judging by sales numbers will be pretty soon).
Wow this became really long.
How did you become a Marvel fan?
First Avengers Movie. I didn't watch any previous superhero movies cause my mum thought they were too violent, and I managed to go watch this without her knowing. For now, I consider myself a pretty casual fan cause I can't keep up with all the comics (or movies sometimes) (I haven't watched Deadpool. Amazing.)
What are your favorite Marvel comics?
I don't read a lot, but I definitely love Matt Fraction's Hawkeye. And then there's Brubaker's Winter Soldier, which broke my shipper heart.
Who are your favorite Marvel characters?
Black Widow, Kate Bishop, Winter Soldier, Clint Barton
If you could make one Marvel character real, which one would you pick and why?
Probably Kate. Or Cassie Lang. Or Billy. I feel like I could probably be pretty cool friends with them?
What are your favorite Marvel ships?
I am multishipping trash, but all time favourite is Bucky/Nat, followed by America/Kate. For MCU, it's def Tony/Pepper, Bucky/Sam (if they buckynat never gets a chance, I'm doubting it would). Is Tony/Happiness a thing? He needs some of that.
What other fandoms are you/have you been involved in?
A few of the ones that were popular on tumblr(where I go by the same name). Currently I'm mainly in Voltron 2016 but there's also Ghostbusters 2016.
And Tony/Therapy, poor man! It's sad that his PTSD has often been treated as a joke in the MCU.
Yes! It would be really great to see MCU address his PTSD and show him on his road to recovery. I feel that they just like making Tony live through it all to as a quirk to his character, so that they don't need to add any more development for him ):
How did you become a Marvel fan and what do you think draws you to Marvel fandom in particular? My mum used to buy me Spiderman comics when I was a kid.
What are your favorite Marvel movies or shows? Daredevil, the first Thor movie, Deadpool, I surprisingly loved Antman (I don't like him in the comics), and both Winter Soldier and Civil war.
What are your favorite Marvel comics? Spiderman and X-men
Which upcoming films/shows/comics are you looking forward to the most? Doctor Strange, Defenders, Luke Cage, Ragnarok, Iron Fist
Who are your favorite Marvel characters? Storm (comic), Spiderman, Rogue, Daredevil, Mystique (comic)...
Do you have any favorite fanartists or vidders? I do, but I'm not sure they're still active anymore :(
What other fandoms are you/have you been involved in? HP, Merlin, Sherlock
Welcome!
How did you become a Marvel fan and what do you think draws you to Marvel fandom in particular? I blame X-men movies since they made start reading comics, mostly X-men related comics (Uncanny and ultimate x-men), then I jumped to others .

Tony Stark, Daken, Northstar, Colossus, Storm If you could make one Marvel character real, which one would you pick and why?
What are your favorite Marvel ships? Johnny Storm/Daken, but Daken/anyone is fine, Northstar/Iceman (since Chuck Austen’s X-Men run and I am still so sad this never happened in canon) Cable/Deadpool, Tony Stark/Captain America, Storm/Wolverine; Storm/Thor; Pepper Pots/Tony Stark; too many to keep naaming here
Do you make fanworks of any sort, like fic, vids, art, or graphics? I wrote some Daken/Northstar (mostly as a joke for an friend), I also made some fanart a long time ago.
What are your favorite genres, tropes, or kinks in fanfiction? Sex Pollen, use of powers for sex reasons, size kink. But i also enjoy some slow burn, plot oriented stories.

Welcome!
How did you become a Marvel fan and what do you think draws you to Marvel fandom in particular? I have been a fan of the X-Men and Spider-man animated shows in the nineties, and became a comics fan with Spider-Man and Deadpool in 2010, I really got into it afer watching The Avengers in 2012
there a certain tone to both Marvel comics and movies, I think, that makes them very relateable to me. in the comics, there are several characters with such rich and relateable histories, and their stories are very personal and close to home.
What are your favorite Marvel movies or shows? My fave movie is forever Iron Man. and all the Netflix shows are really good so I can't choose between them.
What are your favorite Marvel comics? I love Deadpool, esp Cable and Deadpool and the recent runs since 2010. Spider-man&Deadpool is one of the best comics running right now and the fact it was made specifically because fans asked for it is just so amazing. I also love Fraction's Hawkeye, Thor - God of thunder, Avengers Prime, hickmanvengers and almost everything Iron Man related pre-2005.
Which upcoming films/shows/comics are you looking forward to the most? Films: Spider-man homecoming. I had my doubts and was really mad that they pushed back Black panther and Captain Marvel for yet another Spider-Man movie, but seeing the cast (adorable!!!) changed my mind. I'm really waiting for it and wanting it will be good. also Black Panther and Captain Marvel obviously. Shows - anything coming from Netflix, also "Runaways" and "Cloak and Dagger". gimme. Comics - Can't wait for Riri Williams to take the Iron man Mantle!! I am so excited about it, but I am also wary because I don't like what's happening in the comics currently.
Who are your favorite Marvel characters? Tony Stark, James Rhodes, Wade Wilson, Bruce Banner, all the young Avengers, all the ANAD Avengers (Kamala, Miles etc), Squirrel girl... well I have too many.
If you could make one Marvel character real, which one would you pick and why? Tony Stark, so I can give him a hug.
What are your favorite Marvel ships? RhodeyXTony, SteveXtony, Spider-manXDeadpool, MilesXKamala, CarolXJess
Do you make fanworks of any sort, like fic, vids, art, or graphics? Art and recently fanfic, tho I write mainly Dark stuff and Whump.
What are your favorite genres, tropes, or kinks in fanfiction? Identity Porn is just so good. also Dark stuff and Whump.
What other fandoms are you/have you been involved in? I'm pretty bad at keeping up with fandom, I think the latest I was REALLY invested in was Dragon age.

Welcome!
How did you become a Marvel fan and what do you think draws you to Marvel fandom in particular? I love the MCU for the same reason I love all hero myths: I enjoy seeing human stories writ large.
What are your favorite Marvel movies or shows? I'm still not over The Winter Soldier and all the parallels it raised with real-world politics.
Which upcoming films/shows/comics are you looking forward to the most? BLACK PANTHER
What are your favorite Marvel ships? I'll read anything if the porn is good, but the closest thing I have to an OTP is Pierce/Fury. I mean, two brilliant pragmatic strategists with decades of shared experience, plus a topping of ultimate betrayal? thatismyfetish.jpg
I'll also always have soft spots for Thor/Loki and all combinations of Steve/Sam/Bucky. And I'd love to see more of T'Challa/Zemo because I think there is some potential for really fascinating dynamics there.
Do you make fanworks of any sort, like fic, vids, art, or graphics? I write a fair bit of meta, and occasionally write fic.
What are your favorite genres, tropes, or kinks in fanfiction? ANGST AND PAIN AND ALL OF THE SUFFERING. And porn. Especially porn.

Welcome!
Thank you :)
Okay, let's do this. stretches
How did you become a Marvel fan and what do you think draws you to Marvel fandom in particular? Yikes, long ago, I suppose. It most likely started somewhere with the Fantastic Four (the old ones, with Chris Evans), then X-Men came along. It all remained a little lowkey until I saw Iron Man for the first time. But I really fell for Marvel when I found out about Captain America because I was actually wondering if there was a World War II related superhero around and well, I found myself one!
What are your favorite Marvel movies or shows? Aside from most of the Avengers-based MCU, definitely Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men First Class/Days of Future Past and Deadpool! Agents of SHIELD is great and I liked Daredevil a lot.
What are your favorite Marvel comics? The classic Captain America's (still reading those because there's like hundreds of volumes). The Winter Soldier comics never fail to make me cry. (I really need more time because there's like dozens of other series I want to discover and read)
Which upcoming films/shows/comics are you looking forward to the most? Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2, Ant Man and The Wasp, Black Panther, Defenders, Iron Fist.
Who are your favorite Marvel characters? The first one that comes to my mind is Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier. Apart from him I'd say Tony Stark, Thor, Scott Lang, Wolverine, Cyclops, The Thing, Daredevil and Deadpool.
What are your favorite Marvel ships? Charles Xavier/Erik Lehnsherr, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, Bucky Barnes/Natasha Romanoff, Tony Stark/Pepper Potts, T-Challa/Ororo Munroe, Bucky Barnes/Plums (I just had to), Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson.
Do you make fanworks of any sort, like fic, vids, art, or graphics? I write fanfiction on Archive Of Our Own. (mainly related to Bucky Barnes because I feel most comfortable with his character)
What are your favorite genres, tropes, or kinks in fanfiction? nervous laughter Well, I love angst a lot. Combine that with my unhealthy interest for Bucky Barnes and you will find yourself in that part of the fandom a lot of people prefer to avoid.
What other fandoms are you/have you been involved in? I used to be in the anime fandom (especially Attack on Titan), I don't know if I'm in any fandoms besides Marvel these days. I do like DC, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones but I'm not entirely sure if I'd call myself a part of the fandom.
