Avengers Fanfiction Guidelines

Part 9

41. The More the Merrier, I Guess...

As time continues, the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand...and with the more movies and television shows they make, the more characters we have to play around with! The Original Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Daredevil, Ant-Man, Agent Peggy Carter, the Amazing Spider-Man, Agents of Shield, Fantastic Four, Deadpool, etcetera...and all of them connected together! All in the same universe! Isn't that great? And you know what that means? All of these characters are officially in the same universe as the Avengers...do with that information what you please.

42. Tony Still Doesn't Play Well With Others

With Agents of Ultron, we learn that Tony still doesn't play well with others. You can see this in the way he is always at least slightly isolated from the group, always going off on his own, keeping secrets, assigning himself on his own suicide missions, making executive and important decisions on his own without consulting the others...etcetera.

Don't forget this when writing your own Fic. Tony is not, and never will be, a team player. It's just not his style, his PERSONALITY. He can't help it if that's just how he is. Which means? He should be the same in you Fic. I shall quote myself from the last paragraph, "he is always at least slightly isolated from the group, always going off on his own, keeping secrets, assigning himself on his own suicide missions, making executive and important decisions on his own without consulting the others...etcetera."

43. So Straight Girls and Guys CAN be Friends Without Getting Together! Whadaya Know?

That's right kids, Clintasha is officially NOT canon. Whoopsidasies. What IS canon? Clint x His WIFE and Bruce x Natasha. Except Bruce is, you know...yeah. Goddammit.

But anyway, it would seem the Hawk and the Spider are NOT lovie-dovie, but instead best-buddies. That's cute. And awesome. Imagine all the shenanigans they can get up to now that they're bff's...muwahahahahahaa...

Oh, and now all your Clintasha Fics, and all your Fics that contain Clintasha, are officially NOT-canon. Now doesn't that suck? Gosh-darn-it.

44. Frick Frackin' Glitches...Get Your Shit Together, FF . Net!

Not many people know this - or perhaps they do, I don't know - but FanFiction dot net has certain...glitches. Here are some examples:

Links don't work. If you want to put a link in your story, you have to space it out and/or replace grammar with words. (Ex. Http colon slash slash www fanfiction dot net).

If you don't know how to type a dash, and plan on replacing it with two hyphens in a row, it won't work. It'll change the two hyphens into one. It will, however, leave normal dashes alone. And I'm not sure about other programs, but Microsoft or windows or office or whatever, will make a dash when you type a word consisting of at least one letter, then two hyphens with no spaces, then another word consisting of at least one letter, and finally hit space - that'll form a dash.

If you end a sentence with more than one "!", the site will change it so that instead of "OHMYGOD!" (but with several exclamation marks), it'll say "!" Which is incredibly annoying - so be careful about that. I like typing with extra exclamation points (I usually like to use two), so I always have to go over my work to be sure I didn't add extra without thinking.

...and so on, and so forth...

45. Kick-Ass Beauty and the Awkward Beast

Back to NATASHALIE AND BRUCE...! Woo-hoo! You have to admit it's cute...I'm happy for the big guy. Now the only one alone is poor Steve...

...oh, wait never mind - he's got his amnesiac boyfriend. He's good.

So, where are we now? We now know that Natashalie and Brucie-boo get together at some point, so if your story is an AU and AOU didn't happen, or at least the Hullkie-go-bye-bye didn't happen, then Natashalie and Brucie-Boo should be together - according to "canon".

Next time I'll talk more about the Avengers' new buddies, the issues with timelines and such, and Peter Quill's memory of "Terra", as well as possibly keywords you should know? Oh, and a great page I found with wonderfully brilliant tips on OC's, that I thought you guys might like!

PROMPT TIME! OH MY GOD!

Take a good long look at all the new heroes and such that have been added to the MCU...now pick your favorite, and it's time to invite them to join the Avengers!

Make a "crossover" fic (cause technically it isn't a crossover as they're all in the same universe) where they join the Avengers! Here are some example of who you can invite to the Group Hug:

Guardians of the Galaxy - Peter Quill is feeling homesick? Maybe he's looking for allies? Maybe he want to warn his home planet about Thanos?

Daredevil - Avengers hear of a new vigilante in Hell's Kitchen (which is a real place, by the way) and decide to check him out, and possibly recruit him?

Ant-Man - Avengers investigate whoever the Winged-Soldier caught breaking into their new HQ/Training Facility.

Agent Peggy Carter - (loudly whispers: "time-travel").

the Amazing Spider-Man - ("Did you hear about that guy swingin' 'round New York on webs?" "You're shitting me.")

Agents of Shield - Dude. How many heroes do we got on this show? Maybe it's about time the Avengers decided to accept some help.

Fantastic Four - Avengers call for back-up, baby

Deadpool - DUUUUUUUDE. Please. I need this. He's strong enough, anyway. They could seriously use a guy like him. (Screams: "LESS THAN A YEAR!")

'Till next time!

Ja ne!

P.S. I'm severely pissed because I've tried to update this multiple times, and every time I somehow ended up almost finishing it, before somehow losing it - whether literally losing it or accidentally deleting it - which then lead to me forgetting everything I've written and sulking until I've forgotten all about updating it. Ugh.
