Ah, new fandom. Learning which authors to avoid. From the ones who're terrible, the ones who refuse to use the spell/grammar check, the ones who believe in manufacturing angst and so on for no good reason, the ones who write them with eating disorders (seriously, WTF? Name me any character in tv who actually has a eating disorder that they didn't devote a very special character arc to. Just because they're skinny does not mean eating disorder. What's scary is how many of these are kink meme requests.), the ones who write decently until the end when they always fuck it up, and the ones who're technically good until you read more than three of theirs and then realise they're writing the same story over and over again.

Chris Evans has been cast as Captain America. Given that I've never seen the boy in Sunshine, Push or as Johnny Storm, I'm waiting it out. Also depends if they do a decent job with the story. However, the most important question : What's his chemistry with RDJ like? (seriously, even if you're the most blinkered anti-slasher, if Cap and Iron Man don't have decent on-screen chemistry, The Avengers film will have serious problems.)

I had a moment of "????" until I realised you didn't mean the ex-Mr Billie Piper.

So when are we seeing your own writing? Cause that would be good...

Me too. He made a good Johnny Storm, but Johnny Storm is definitely not Cap, but we shall see. I think when it comes to movies comic fans live in a perpetual state of hope often tempered by crushing disappointment. I'm still in the 'hope' stage.

On the bright side, at least it's not Channing Tatum.
