In other new fandom news
Jul. 30th, 2012 08:42 pm1. My (first ever!) bid on e-bay was successful, so by Wednesday (or so) I will have four more Iron Man titles to go with Civil War and Iron Man: Civil War. It does make one ponder, does it not, the meaning of life, the age of 41, the gender of female, and the power of a bunch of pretty actors in a silly, special-effects-heavy summer action flick. *ponders* Mainly I wanted Extremis and Execute Program, but they came in a lot with Enter the Mandarin and something else, title is escaping me. But I am philosophical. The future is clearly this fandom and me acquiring a bunch more, so what the heck? (AG33 is enjoying them, too.)
2. I was reading The Snow Queen to The Barbarian tonight, and it seemed very clear to me that I should write it with Tony as Kay and Steve as Gerda. ONe does remember this is how Beauty came about, right? Me reading this same book to The Barbarian, except Beauty and the Beast. *sigh* The main thing preventing me wandering off in search of a Cap/Iron Man Big Bang, or something equally ridiculous, is that I don't have enough fandom chops to assign parts to the other necessary characters. Like there should be a witch in the cherry orchard, and a prince and princess, and the robber girl, and the wise woman, and the reindeer and of course, the Snow Queen herself. But doesn't it seem obvious that Tony's heart would be turned to ice and he would be trying fruitlessly to assemble the pieces of the frozen lake to spell Eternity until Steve's tears thawed his heart again? Yes. It does. Just nod along and agree with the crazy woman.
