I seem to have fallen deep down the musical rabbit hole, because I had a dream about a Second Punic War musical and all I can remember about it is that Aemilia stole the show (her anger was a thing of beauty), Tanith had an entire song where she was murderously gleeful about something and Maharbal's big song was called "You know how to win" and that is literally all I've got, which is a crying shame.


I've been backreading some entries (and still ahve some more backreading to do), so if you get random comments that would be why. In the process, I've discovered my yuletide letter crossposted half a dozen times to my LJ, so I'm sorry about that. I'll see what I can do to fix it.


I wrote four fics for Trick or Treat. I wanted to write more, but then Life.

I wrote two for my recip:

(One day, there will be a fic written in this fandom in an exchange that will be written neither by me nor for me and on that day I will get my tiny mind fucking blown, but today is not this day.)

Everything under a cut, for reasons of spoilers for Avengers World #16, but I called it y'all! And nobody can say I didn't, because the fics are posted and one of them's from 2012, so there.

( There's no feeling quite like writing something into a fic and then having that thing show up in canon )

I still can't quite believe it. I've been waiting so long for this. So long. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

So yeah, this is what I've been reading today.

So! Way back in October/September 2012, Journey into Mystery was ending and it was announced that both kid!Loki and Kate Bishop would be in the new Young Avengers series. I took a stab at a fancomic for this team-up (and then there were more team-ups). I drew and wrote the whole thing, but I never ended up inking or colouring it. I'm certainly not doing it now, because the art is so old; I feel like I should redo the whole thing and I remember how sick of it I was when I drew it the first time and that was 18+ months ago.

I kind of forgot about it until ericadawn16 reminded be of it with a comment on something else, so I pulled up Photoshop and added word ballons to the original artwork, did a couple of edit-y things to it (not much, i'm working with a mouse, it's not easy) and now I'm posting it.

The lay-out is two pages at once, so you should only read until the middle mark, then down, then up at the middle mark. Like if you were holding it as a book (this is because of formatting and the double-page spreads).

( With commentary, because why not )

So there you have it, the reason I am not a comics professional.

The fic I wrote is Training Wheels in which America Chavez lands in 616 at the start of Young Avengers v1, but who cares about that when you could be reading the fic I got instead? It's reclaiming her star and it is AMAZING. It's a post-Young Avengers v2 fix-it for Cassie Lang and it had her being friends with Tommy and looking up to Kate and sharing a metrocard with Loki. Go. Read it. It's 6.5k of sheer brilliance.

( Quick breakdown for March )

Taken from traincat: sum up every chapter of every story you've written in two lines of script!

( Fic on my ao3 account )

( As for my WIPs... )

tl;dr: loads and loads of comics.
