Why hello there, lj.

Long time, no see.

I am, in fact, alive. And term has begun again! I am excited because the summer was kind of desolate and boring and I need structure in my life.

And I, uh, have a request to make: I need help in finishing this thing that I've owed nightrider101 since the beginning of this year, because dammit I don't know how to go on, and what's more, my spn muse has completely run dry. So to any of you who are still avid fans and can instill me with your enthusiasm, I would appreciate anything from a cheerleader to a beta reader. It's about wings and profound bonds and also some problematic rips in reality that happen after the apocalypse-that-wasn't. I have a little over 7k written out of probably 10k total, which is way more than I was planning on doing, but apparently I'm incapable of writing anything less than weirdly convoluted plotty things or something? I think I'm going to post the first half of it very soon, with the hopes that this will pressure me into finishing the rest of it in something resembling a timely manner. But seriously, I keep staring at it, willing words to appear, but they just don't. So...yeah. Help?

On the flip side, though, I have been sucked into loving the Avengers hard core. I don't really read comics all that often, but I am totally behind the films and it's making me take Wikipedia crash courses on the the canon material like woah. Seriously, this movie has already ruined me, and it hasn't even come out yet. As a result, I am utterly lost to Steve/Tony right now. It's a disease, almost as bad as Charles/Erik, except worse because whereas Charles and Erik make me want to write them into badass adventures, Steve and Tony make me want to just read utter sap about how they made up after Civil War and got married and fought crime together. Argh. Stop it you bastards I hate you. Also my personal theme song for them is now 'Teenage Dream' because Tumblr is a terrible influence on me and I am a terrible person and it makes me laugh uncontrollably. STEVE IS TOTALLY TONY'S TEENAGE DREAM, DON'T DENY. Oh god this journal must never become connected to me in real life or I will have to change names and move to a different country again.

I am following all of those people! They are amazing. I think I spend more time on Tumblr than I do anywhere else on the internet. I'm suddenly getting all of my random obsessions with historical stuff and fashion stuff AND fandom stuff all in one place, and so it's basically taken over my life.

I am a big fan of tfln and memo things. Are you thinking of Texts From Xavier Academy and Memos from Fury? :DDDD

:D Do you find yourself doing the Wiki thing, of looking at one entry then following something from it to another, then another, then it's suddenly an hour later and you're looking at something entirely unrelated to the first post?

Yes! Also conversationsinmarvel, textsfromlastissue and textsfromavengershq, plus captaindraws, which is an RP artblog done as Steve Rogers, askcaptaina which is an ask Captain America doodle/art blog, and dontaskironman, the Tony Stark equivalent.

Oh yes, definitely, and then it only gets worse if I come across stories that are written by people who really know the canon and include lots of smaller characters who I'm not familiar with, and therefore have to go and read up on :P

Haha, well I think we read almost exactly the same blogs, because I'm definitely familiar with those!
