  1. I put up a round robin in [Marvel 'verse> X-men-animated] titled Marvels of the Middle Ages. I put it there, because that seemed easiest, but contributors can pull from anywhere, comics, movies, non x-men animations, whatever helps the writing process. I really want people to add chapters to it. The set up is done, so the meatier, lemon and lime parts can begin. Hopefully people will add many chapters. I'm working on a Kurty chapter, a Hawkeye/OC chapter, and toying with a funny NS with the Grey Gargoyle, but that won't be enough to bring this up to it's full potential. Help me out, guys! Author: ChrisCross, and others, maybe even you! Title: Marvels of the Middle Ages Summary: In the grand tradition of What If? comics, we see what might happen if all the heroes and villains of the Marvel 'Verse got thrown back in time. Any one can add chapters, so multiple ideas may happen, parallel universes a la the Stranger or the Watchers. You can go back farther than the MA's if you want, or up into the Renascences, I just like alliteration. Feedback: Kindly review, even if you don't review kindly. (If you don't want your chapters reviewed, state so in the A.N. Fandom: Marvel 'Verse Pairing: Many. It's a Round Robin. All types welcome, MF, MM, FF, and Other. Repeating a pairing from another author is fine as long as you don't poach the OC's. Warnings: Again, it is a Round Robin, any warning code might apply. Out of compliance with ToA, and just common courtesy, it is required to place all applicable codes at the very begging, in the A.N. Solo story or chaptered story: Round Robin, so chapters. URL: Marvels of the Middle Ages Thanks for reading this post, double thanks if you tell a friend who might add something, and super-special-OMG-that's-awesome thanks if you add a chapter. Domo arigato gozaimasu!
  2. Seven chapters and counting!!! Unfortunately, a side affect of hospitalizing a main character is that he can't do that much in the way of fan service, but I'm working on it. I feel like an evil puppet master, yanking on the lifelines of my characters (does anyone know where I can get a white long-hair cat?). They shall soon be forced into close proximity, wherein lemony goodness is all but inevitable.
  3. I updated the story, it is still in the same place, same name, but I fixed a few plot holes. I think it is more cohesive now, and am contemplating a few more in that same line. My current plot bunny for the next is a war angel, who clips her wings to save a soldier's life, and is then pretty much stranded in a war zone. Let me know what you think.
  4. Sorry about the delay. When the answer to the pop-philosophy questiopn "Who's driving this bus?" is "A stuntman whose licence was recinded." you tend to drop less immediate activities. Working on Chapter 4 now.
  5. My story Secret Bit of Right from Wrong, has had a notice from a moderator, MertMidnightAngel, posted to it that may be in error. The notice is as follows: Please correct your disclaimer Your disclaimer does not contain one of the two required elements. It must disclaim the actual fandom by name. Disclaiming just the owners/creators of the fandom is not enough nor is it enough to disclaim only the characters from the fandom. If your disclaimer is not corrected, your story will be hidden from public view (but not deleted) 7 days from the date of this warning. You may still correct your disclaimer via your control panel, and the story will then be unhidden again as soon as possible. However, if the disclaimer is not corrected after your story has been hidden for 30 days, the story will be deleted. Re-uploads of hidden stories are deleted immediately with no additional warning given Below is a link to the Terms of Service in its entirety: http://www.adult-fanfiction.org/tos.php In addition, the next link listed is to the FAQ regarding disclaimers http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=3560 We also suggest taking a few minutes to read the Content Guidelines http://www.adult-fanfiction.org/guidelines.php You can remove this review once your disclaimer is corrected. Thank you, MertMidnightAngel, AFF Archive Moderator My objection is to the statement in red. I disclaimed both Captain America and The Avengers (as in the comics/movies). These are the names of characters, but they are also the names of the relevant fandoms. I could only broaden that disclaimer if I were to disclaim all of the Marvel 'Verse, and that would disclaim the authors/owners of Marvel, not the Fandom. What do I do reguarding this?
  6. Awesome Aqua. Thanks for helping me on this. lol, Jay, please, go ahead... I like the name megan. Thanks for the input guys!
  7. Two names got dropped from the short list after a friend who is writing somthing using a Megan asked me not to use that name on this, and my aunt Anne objecteted to using her name on something that will go on "that horrid site you insist on using" (aparently she hates fiction in general and fan fic doubly so). But I did find one I kind of like to replace them. Karen, which will actually be a misspelling of Keren, a biblical name that would go over well with her parents bible belt veiws, and while Karen means pure (and she is), Keren means both strength and ray or beam, and in the fic, Steve has had his super strength sapped by a beam from an accident in trying to fix Banner. Well, I did try to pick names (the ones on the poll) that have been around awhile, and that are common to that reigon and heratige (I happen to be writng her with great inspiration from a friend that has that background) The difficulty with giving her a quirky name, is that her background and even one of the reasons she is in New York to meet the Cap in the first place is that she and her family, except the sister in New York who works undercover for S.H.I.E.L.D., are estranged over the quirkiness. (The mixing of three strands of people known for hard headedness can equal a lot of stubborn, but we are also bible belt, and some of that quirky caused friction with the conformist parents) So with the mindset of the parents naming her, a plainer name is better. I did use the baby name search engines, often do, to help with the creation of the short list. Since you ask, she's got hair that looks black at first glance, but if you look close, and she will at one point get in a snit over this, is actually a very dark auburn, her eyes are brown, her skin is on the fair side with no freckles or sun damage due to she only burns and never tans (common complain for both germans and redheads), she's a bit short, I need her to be a few inches shorter than Steve's un-augmented height, and built on the same lines many women with Scotts heritage have, the kind designed to pop out babies who become giant broadsword weilding warriors, wide pelvic bones and ribcage, which combined with the shortness, leaves her looking way more curvy than is currently fashionable. One of her quirks is that as long as she is healthy and fit, she sees no need to starve or exaust herself to lose weight. The person who requested this fic specifically asked for her not to be super human or particularly involved in the super scene, other than her sister being a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent. She has good body co-ordination from her time studying dance and acting, but not abnormally so, and she is fairly smart (primarily because I have a mental block on dumbing down dialogue, they almost always come out sounding smart), but again, not enough that it could be called a super power. I have considered giving her a nickname, but it's either going to be Ginger (after Ginger Rogers, due to the ball room dance thing) or Jo, after her favorite character from her favorite book (told you she was old school). She will get called Dorothy at least once as an insult to her place of birth and innocence in the big bad city, but I plan on that being greeted negatively.
  8. I have the character profiled, but I need a name. She is a fairly typical midwestern girl, German Scotts-Irish, Interested in ball room dance, Theater, and fashion. Kinda old fashioned morals and opinions, which aleinates many potential maybe-more-than-friends of the opposite gender, but greatly endears her to Steve Rogers (it is a Captain America fic set after Avengers). Her history of rejection leads to shyness, which leads to confusion and french-farceish misunderstandings in her relationship with Steve. I'm aiming for a fairly average person here, with a few quirks, and maybe one deep secret, just like real people. I have it narrowed down to the names in the poll, but any other advice is welcome. If anyone wants to read the fic before voting, it is in Marvel'verse>Marvel Movies>Avengers> Secret Bit of Right from Wrong
  9. 3rd chapter is up. We see some Avengers dynamics, meet the Agent, and get some set up for defining her stance on her sister and Steve, and then end it on a classic "man out of time" moment and some minor Aww :'( factor.
  10. Camp 30, i am actually trying somthing new-ish. I am writing the whole thing as a subtext fic, where no visable bits of plot change, whole sections of quotes are used, but dramaticaly changing the inner monologues and subtexts to totally alter the whole thing. This is a creative challenge, to use only discriptive prose to alter a static plotline. It has not been "done to death", yes there are a ton of Cap/Buck fics, but most rely on the author freeing themselves of all pretense at cannon. And due to Carter's promanent apearance, I cannot really leave her out. Barbayat, please go pick up a history book. The fact that she is a British female of Rank in the military working in America is precicely the kind of "how the heck did you get here?" that the original Sue had from her age. The fact that she isn't reduced to the coffee fetching office sexpot like the blond Cap gets kissed by, is akin to the original Sue's unlikely garnering of respect from cannon characters. That TLJ makes crude comments is a statement of his dedication to accuracy, not her lack of worth. And please refer to the final battle sequence in the last factory. She fights quite well, is indeed a crack shot, and in that whole sequence is in heels. Yes, it is unrealistic of Ms Atwell to claim Peggy could do *everything* the Cap can do, but she did quite a bit that would be hard in normal conditions, under greater stress and in impractical footgear. I dare you to hit a moving target aprox 10 yards away with a WWII pistol in a pencil skirt and heels. And as for being willing to die to get the shot? Anybody who would face certain death for a chance to stop an assasin's escape with classified super soldier serum qualifies for the descriptor "nerves of steel", and probably "selfless" and "heroic". Although I must thank you for your comments, your insistance that these qualities do not add up to a Sue, due to your lack of historical or military knowledge has convinced me that I can proceed without changing her Sue-ness, for the whiners won't even see it.
  11. The scene I am having issues with is the beginning of the taxi chase scene, I'm trying to use as much data from the film crew and actors as I can to increase the connections, because a subplot fic with an non cannon pair is hard to pull off without separateing from the original. The actress who played Agent Carter said "She's like Ginger Rogers. She can do anything the Captain does, backwards and in heels." I want her to be a strong, capable woman, because i would hate to lose the spirit of Peggy Carter. I just worry that her innate uber coolness makes her slightly, (although, you are right, not extremely) sueish. The main sequence I worry about in this case is right after Steve clears the building. What I want it to say is "The first thing he saw as he left the shop was Peggy, aiming her gun at a taxi racing straight at her. Without thinking he pushed her out of danger. “I had him!” was her outraged cry. He winced, thinking that was something he had probably said to Bucky more than once, to preserve masculine pride. Only, when she said it, she was likely stating a fact. Peggy Carter was a crack shot with nerves of steel, and she could do anything the recruits were taught, better, backwards and blindfolded. She proved it once on an obstacle course by doing the whole track that way, in her skirt and heels. It was unreal, like she had super-powers. Honestly, as he ran off after the escaping taxi to pursue Erskine’s killer, he was also running away from her; she was one scary lady if you irritated her. He hoped she would calm down when he caught the spy." I think this captures the innate Sueness in a way that makes it a non obstacle in the story. I only truely dislike Sues that break well established facets of the fandom or meme. By giving Steve an inner monolog that indicates he acnoledges and maybe even fears her sueness, if not her, it lightens the load a bit. Also later she gets some egg on face scenes...but that is a bit of a spoiler.
  12. Ok, stumbling block, I lent a friend my copy of the movie and am now writing the chase scene with the spy, and I cannot for the life of me recall how or why the taxi stops! Does it malfunction, roll, or someting else? Untill I get my copy back, that chapter is dead in the water. I'm pre-writing some of the more creation intensive chapters, but they aren't going up untill much later. If anyone can clear that up, the writing will go more quickly. If not, you'll just have to wait.
  13. I'm working on it, but the going is slow, but the end of the week marks when I get my life back, should have more soon. Send me suggestions if you think of something to add.
  14. Ok, so I set up another topic on this but got very little traffic, and this thread is very close to what I need. What the heck do I DO with a Cannon Sue? If Jack Kirby and Stan Lee are willing to let Peggy Carter be a Sue, who am I to question or change the will of the Gods of the Marvel'verse? I love the Hayley Atwell quote about Peggy being like Ginger Rogers "She can do everything Captain America can do, but backwards and in high heels." and I want to use that attitude, but it smacks of Sue! Help!
  15. Later she is pretty pivotal in getting the main characters to the places they need to be, and may become an implied love interest for Steve. I had a friend suggest she start out looking all Sue, and then show her flaws later as the first person POV puts her nearer to my narration. I could emphasize her Sue-ness in a way that makes it clear I know she is a Sue... I just don't want to get slammed for having a Sue.
  16. So, I was plugging away on my Captain America/Bucky fic (movie not comics) and I hit a point where it could not be avoided, I had to describe Peggy Carter. I love Peggy, she rocks my sox, but if you tabulate all the things she can do, the unlikelyness of her being in the military, and the position of her in the cannon as the unbearably hot love interest, she is indeed a Sue. I can decrease her Sue-ness by cutting her romantic lead position, but I cannot make her any less awesome, any more likely to have been in the military in the 1940's, or change her generally Sue-like nature without tampering with cannon. So my question is this: Is it better to leave the Cannon Sue alone, or change a Cannon Character beyond recognition to eliminate the Sue in my story?
  17. I'm hitting a bit of a wall in the life of my mild-mannered alter-ego as a political intern, so we may be slowing down a bit. A new chapter goes up today, and after that I may not be able to write for a while. I expect to have much more time after the election, and will get right on it as soon as I sleep off the adrenalin rush from staying up the last three days of the campaign. BTW: all you sex feinds, there is a wet dream sequence in this chapter. It is not overly explicit, Steve lives in the 1940's, he has had no access to gay porn, and he has been established IN CANNON as the world's biggest boy scout. Please look at both the scenes in the movie where he gets kissed, he looks like his head is going to explode. He also is very fumbly with innuendo (see: Fondue.) He will get more explicit later as he comes of age sexually.
  18. http://xmen.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600091111 Here you go.
  19. hey a friend suggested this, in the whole "set my sister the OC up on dates" thing, wouldn't the agent try to foil her sister's interest in the Cap? I've decided he'll be going under an assumed name, so his enemies have a harder time finding him So Agent Mcormac (my SHEILD Agent) doesn't want her sister dating a guy who will have to lie to her for their safety, or a guy who has a dangerous and visable job as a super hero. Can we say "tension"!
  20. New chapter is up! Also some editing has been done in the 2nd chapter.
  21. Can I make the SHEILD agent female? She would not be the love interest or in a threesome, but a female agent having her sister live with her is more believable in my opinion. I can fade the agent out some, to focus on the main pair, between the sister and The Cap.
  22. We see the heros, and we see the villains, but do we ever see the individuals that put them on that path? How can a Sidekick and a Hero switch places? What is one man worth to the course of history? Author: ChrisCross Title:One Man's Worth (previeously Where There's a Will) Summary: A slash of Bucky and Steve that corrosponds to the CA:TFA movie. Yes, Peggy is there as a love interest, nothing hapens that overly contradicts the movie (please let me know if I mess up). It just adds a new look at the mentality of the Cap and of Bucky. The plot is almost exactly the same as the movie, but with the subtext adding slashy fun! Feedback: PLEASE!!! I want to know if you: hate it, love it, want to correct my grammar or spelling, want to correct a plot error, whatever! Please write a reveiw. It takes you maybe five minutes, and shaves off five hours of obsessing and depression for me. Fandom: Marvel 'Verse>Marvel movies>Captain America Pairing:Mainly Steve/Bucky, with quite a lot of chapters with no sex (there will be at least one sex scene of that pairing, promise), but also an implied Steve/Peggy later, and maybe a mention of a Steve or Bucky/OC, for purposes of lining up a sequel. Warnings:Abuse (Steve reveals the reason he hates bullies, very nasty), Angst (A slash in the forties, about the world biggest boy scout, this should be a no brainer), Bi (Steve and Bucky both have implied hetro pairings), M/M (See Pairing), Major Character Death (If you saw the movie, you know who), Trans (the aforementioned OC), Violence (Its set in a war, duh.), Wet Dream (To placate the sex fiends, until the main event) , Work In Progress (One chapter a week is my goal) Solo story or chaptered story: Chaptered, likely ten at the end, but I don't know.

  23. My story Glass Snowflakes and Angel Wings Is here: http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600104350 This story is a one-shot, (I don't often complete stories that aren't), but if there is a fan base for stories in this world, I would like to write more. But my muse eats only reviews and other forms of reader input, and he's kind of malnourished at the moment. So, review if you believe in muses! Say it, I do believe in muses, I do, I do! Come on folks, I know some of you have read it, I've seen the hit count. Future ideas if my muse recovers are: A different type of angel who, when fallen based on anger, Falls as a Red Haze demon, who instills rage, is sent to guard a soldier, and clips her wings to defend him. The purity of her action, she used her wings as a shield/weapon, to complete her mission isn't evil, so she is human, and now he can see her, and well, this is AFF... Another Angel of the same type as Jack, clips her wings to heal a person she believes is a human, He is actually a Fallen who became a devil, but was booted for showing signs of compassion. Where do they go from there?
  24. Ok, It's up, it has been for a while but I plum forgot to let you know where it is! Silly me. Glass Snowflakes and Angel Wings I was drawing a commish art piece of a kick ass asian influance Snow White. In the picture she is holding snowflake shaped throwing stars, and while thinking of snow as being sharp ans dangerous, I came up with the Idea of glass snowflakes as a metiphore for unrequited feelings.
