Avengers Fanfiction Guidelines
Part Two
6. The Other's Promise
If you're doing a post-Avengers fanfic, and it's not an AU, and it HAS Loki in it, please try not to forget the Other's promise. I'm reading a fanfic right now where Loki was punished by being made a mortal and sent to live on Earth. Meanwhile I'm wondering, what happened to:
"If you fail, if the Tesseract is kept from us, there will be no realm, no barren moon, no crevice where he can not find you. You think you know pain? He will make you long for something as sweet as pain."
Am I the only one who remembers this? I swear it's like you people have completely forgotten about that huge threat. If you're going to have Loki in a post-Avengers fanfic, please remember this. If the Other's not going to come for Loki, at least have an explanation as to WHY.
7. Bathroom Breaks
While I'm sure that this has been addressed before, I still feel like I must restate it. I mean, I've only seen the characters go to the bathroom maybe four times. Two of which, I doubt they actually went to the bathroom.
The first two, in Iron Man 2. Towards the beginning I remember Tony, at some point, standing in front of a bathroom mirror as he checked the level of toxicity in his blood. The second, I'm sure you all remember, is during his party, when he literally went to the bathroom in his freakin suit. The next is in Thor, when Thor came out of Janes bathroom in her boyfriend's jeans, name-tagged shirt in hand. Though I'm pretty sure he just went in their to change - maybe wash his face or take a shower.
The last time, is during the actual Avengers movie, if you remember just after Stark figured out where Loki was, and Captain showed up to get Natasha, and Clint came out of the bathroom, saying; "I can."
Cap looks to Natasha, who nods, then back to Clint. He says, "You got a suit?" Clint says yes, and then Cap goes, "Then suit up."
So, I get that at times a random bathroom break can be pretty annoying and blah blah blah, but if it's not an inconvenience, and nothing's going on, it'd be a nice touch, just to keep it real, ya know?
8. Clint's Deaf, Didn't Ya Know?
Apparently it's true. He's eighty percent deaf in both ears due to an injury. So you might want to include that in your fanfiction, you might not. Really, it's your choice since most fans don't know about it. But if you do manage to squeeze that in there, I'm sure your Readers'll be impressed.
9. Research, Research, Research!
Personally, I think this is very important. Of course you don't have to, this is the movie verse after all, but if you do, you're awesome. Research both the comic book verse, AND Norse mythology verse. You get LOTS of fun information from Norse mythology. For example:
-Loki has children. He even gave birth to a horse. (You had to be there.)
-When Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, got stolen, Thor had to dress up as a "beautiful" bride to get it back.
-Odin's eyes and ears - two crows named Huginn and Muninn - actually had a cameo appearance in Thor (on the throne) and Marvel's the Avengers (after Thor "stole" Loki from the quinjet, when they were having their little talk on that mountain/hill-thingy.
-That horse I mentioned before - Sleipnir - actually appeared in Thor. Re-watch the scene where Thor, his friends, and Loki (mostly THOR) attacked Jotunheim, and take and closer look at Odin's horse.
-Loki once actually had his lips sewn shut by dwarves, as a result of a bet gone wrong. (Well, it's better than his head being chopped off, at least - which is what they originally wanted.
-Loki supposedly is the cause of Ragnarok (End of the World).
-Mjolnir was formed from a dying star.
You can of course choose what to make true or not in your story. Just have fun with it!
10. Captain Meany-Pants or Captain Goody-Two-Shoes-Never-Disobey?
Okay, who made it that in every fanfiction Captain is always either a super-innocent goody-two-shoes who can never disobey a single order, or a stick-it-to-the-rules kind-of fella, with a major LOG up his ass?
Did you forget how, in Captain America: the First Avenger, he illegally signed up who knows how many times for the army? And disobeyed DIRECT ORDERS to go and save captive soldiers? Do you not remember Bucky? And Peggy? What about that incident with the grenade? Or the flagpole? Or the stolen formula? OR THE MOTHER FUCKING SHIP HE CRASHED INTO THE ICE? I'm sorry I can't give more examples, I haven't seen the movie in a while. (Just for you guys I'm gunna put the time in to re-watch all the movies - Thor, Captain America, and the Avengers are on Netflix, I own the first Iron Man, and I can rent Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk from my local library). He does NOT follow orders blindly. He is NOT innocent. He is NOT an asshole. He is a beautiful man with a beautiful mind. The Readers deserve to know that - and for them to know that, we'll just have to show them, now won't we?
Prompt of the Update:
Title: The Most Extreme Fan
About: A Loki Fan to the extreme, that is inspired by a song, and in his honor, literally tries to take over the world.
Originally...
...was about a girl. You can make 'em a guy, though, if you want.
...was to be in OUR universe. You can make it in the universe from the movie, though, if you want. All your choice, remember?
...was meant to be serious. You can make it a comedy, though, if you want.
...the character was suppose to take over the world more in the sense that she/he is controlling the people, and everything that happens but they don't even know it. (Think of the gov't.) you can have 'em take over the world any way you want, though.
...I didn't plan on any romance. You can change that, though, if you want. *wiggles eyebrows*
ALSO, A QUICK AUTHOR'S NOTE:
"Guest
um, I don't know if other people are allowed to make points, but heres mine: if you don't know how to contiue your stories, ask someone to co author the story, or ask for suggestions. dont just give up."
Dear Anon,
Sorry for the mixup... The prompts I put up, I never actually started writing - or even developed anything even remotely similar to an actual plot. What I put on here is literally ALL that I came up with for the idea. These last two have actually been swimming around in my head for WEEKS. Plus, I've already got enough unfinished stories, and I didn't think I'd EVER get to writing it. So, yup. ^-^
Sincerely,
With Love,
Byakko Loki.
P.S. Thanks for the review, I really appreciate the feedback! Contact me or review if you ever need anything! :3
Ja!
EDIT: Sorry about all the errors - my eyes aren't exactly functioning properly right now. I fixed as many as I could. Ja.
