A fannish assortment

[ficwize]

1. marvel_crossing is almost over. I'm missing exactly one story and the pinch hitter is on it. As soon as it comes in, I will be happy to draw a line under it, though. I had a blast, and was thinking that a fest might be fun (crossover marvel movies with any other fandom, prompts with claming). Thoughts? It won't be for a while, though. I'm still recovering from the last round. Of course if someone else wants to take charge, I'll gleefully turn over the reigns.

2. ficfinishing is now accepting X-men and Burn Notice. In addition, other fandoms that I think are of general interest - Whedon-verses, Whoniverses (except Sarah Jane), Star Trek-verses, Terminator-verses, and a lot more. I mention this in particular because right now X-men is in need of first readers (no writing required, just cheerleading!) and I need a first reader for a Brandt fic. *ahem* Also, it's fun and there are lots of great tips for getting WIPs to the complete category.

3. sequentialcrack is still in need of reccers for ALL of their categories, but the DC vans are woefully understaffed. It's kind of surprising. (The Batverse is taken care of, but the rest? Not so much. So if you are interested in making recs, go and sign up!) Also, Spiderman needs love.

4. I have some new features that I'll be adding to xmen_on_lj since the mods were enthusiastic about my suggestions. It's really turning out to be quite fun! But, for the X-writers on my list, I have a question - what sort of general writing topics would you be interested in discussing? That section is kicking off in two weeks, so I thought I'd get some ideas, first.

5. I am totally asking for Spiderman and His Amazing Friends fic in Yuletide this year. Just in case any of you want to be prepared. *grins*

Heh, which version? The classic cartoon?

Either way, I never know if I'll get matched up to you, so good to know. :)

*thinks about Yuletide, starts bouncing*

Oh, yeah. The classic cartoon. I may or may not have found a bootleg copy of that. *shifty eyes*

I may or may not be deciding if I can afford to buy it. *more shifty eyes*

But... WANT.

Hehehe, and I've been thinking about Yuletide all year. I've got other things to request, as well. :D

Ah. I know very little about it, but might be able to fake it. :)

I'm totally requesting some USM fic, in my never ending quest to get someone besides me to write about Jessica Drew. :D

I'm doing two small fic exchanges right now, and they're pretty cool. One's a halloween-themed one run by merfilly, and the other is heroines_fest, which focuses entirely on female comic book characters - which is right up my alley. They're both pretty cool, and the fic world limit is pretty low - 500 for the former, 800 for the latter.

Oh, it's so good! You should check it out if you can find it. (Of course, this is through the haze of 20 years, but I loved it then.)
