Cap_Ironman Weekly News, Week Ending 09 October 2011

Hello and welcome to the weekly [livejournal.com profile] cap_ironman/[community profile] cap_ironman newsletter.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! This post is late, but the turkey was good, as was the wine.

A few comm items:Good work on the big bangs, everyone! If you haven't checked out the discussion of what fests and challenges we're planning next, please do so (LJ and DW). We want to hear from everyone. Also, do take a look at the Friending Meme I posted on Friday. There's still some activity there, and it's a great way to chat with people you haven't talked to before (DW and LJ).

Avengers news, there's been a ton of it lately. If you watch ET, they've got a set visit scheduled for tonight's show. Also OMG! TRAILER TOMORROW! I'M SO EXCITED! -cough- In anticipation of that, they've release a couple sets of hi-res stills. No new Steve/Tony interaction, but a nice picture of Maria Hill, who's a favourite of mine. Oh, and product placement, but hey, it's shiny!

NYCC is this weekend. Marvel has a page for all the stuff they're doing. The comm has a poll for a possibly Cap/Iron Man meet up (go check it out if you're going to be in NYC on Saturday or Sunday). I hear Marvel is showing footage at the Avengers panel, but I don't know if it will be new stuff or not. Marvel TV is also going to have a panel. It looks like mostly animated stuff, but if you like A:EMH, they're showing a new episode there.

New RDJ interview about his career. Comic Book Movies highlights the Iron Man related quotes.

In actual comics news, Marvel's teasing something Cap related. I must say that I will not be shocked if the speculation turns out to be true. Marvel's also releasing more digital comics more widely. Or something. I must say digital comics confusing. If God had wanted us to read digital comics, He wouldn't have given us the Printing Press. Oh... wait.

Finally, if you're a new or recent member, hello and welcome! Our rules are here, and in the profile; this includes our warnings policy, so please read. If you're interested in the ship, you may want to read the Ship Manifesto, and consult the list of Slashy Moments (Now at one hundred and fifty moments). If you're planning to write for the comm, there are some tips on writing the pairing here, and the Avengers in general here; if you're having trouble finding a beta, or would like to offer your services as a beta, our beta list is here. If you're looking for the comm archive, it's Tales of Suspense, and it's automated - you can create an account and upload your fic. If you're looking for a particular story, why not try [livejournal.com profile] cap_im_finders? If you have any questions, you can comment here or PM a mod, that's me, [livejournal.com profile] garrideb and [livejournal.com profile] valtyr.

And feel free to post on-topic or off-topic stuff in the comments to this post! Just keep it reasonably safe for work, please.

Thank you for the round up! I hope that, since taking pics/video is apparently prohibited in the theater the Avengers panel is in (dang!) people either ninja some out or tweet a lot!

No I wish I was! I've never been to a con before, but I want to go to one really badly. One day!

Oh, it's really lovely that you do this. I just joined, hi btw. This comm and the fandom for the ship seams really nice I'm looking forward to digging my heals in here for a while.

Well I appreciate it, I just tripped and fell in to this fandom as of this weekend because apparently some deranged part of my mind felt that after conquering almost 50 years or Doctor Who I need to find a cannon even more convoluted and shifting to tackle.

The only experience I have with DC is the Batman cartoon and some Vertigo titles (Sandman, Fables, Transmet) I've heard it's pretty daunting tough.

Completely off topic, but your icons are awesome!

I have to say that I agree with tardiscrash. It's really helpful that you link to everything and keep us up to date.

AND OMG ABOUT THE TRAILER.

Thanks :D

I'm annoyed cos I'm in the UK and its like ten to midnight here, but we probably won't get to see it until Wednesday?

But yeah, I really appreciate the news letters just for the info and gossip :D

For the new Cap preview, wasn't it already established that there were more than the original Captain America...(Like they did a series in the *Winter Soldier* arc?)

Yea just seconding some other comments, I'm mostly a lurker here, but I've always loved how organized things are kept here. Much different from some other comms in different fandoms. So just sending a thank you for all the hard work :D
