I'm new to the Stony fandom and was wondering if you could give me some people to follow? Thank you!
dailysuperhusbands will be your number 1 Stony resource. (Seriously. It’s so well-organized, it’s amazing.) Also check out stevetonynet. Another great resource is cap-ironman, which is the Tumblr for the Cap-IronMan community from LJ. They arrange things like Big Bangs (writers sign up to write stories, artists sign up to make fan art of the stories) and Reverse Big Bangs (art comes first, then writers sign up to write stories for art).
890fifth is a bi-weekly Stony fic challenge.
As for individual recs (a lot of these people are going to have multiple, for lack of a better word, functions (i.e. author, artist, etc). I’m listing the ones that, off the top of my head, set them apart, but that doesn’t mean they don’t do other stuff), listed in no particular order (the order is whoever I remember off the top of my head, and however they’re ordered in my follows. Although, not even chronologically, since I started from the beginning and went back, then went to the end and moved forward):
everybodyilovedies and copperbadge are great for comics knowledge, among other things (they both also write, and copperbadge/Sam is also great for life advice, but that’s entirely besides the point).
Some authors: sakuratsukikage, starspangledsprocket (also great for Chris Evans related stuff and general shenanigans), tony-starks-nipples, imaginaryelle, winterstar95, writingromanoff, theappleppielifestyle (who writes awesomely, is also taking commissions, and seems to fill them insanely fast *hint hint*), colonelrogers, wordsplat, laireshi, iwritestony, musicalluna, onemuseleft, captaintonys-tark, sineala, pensversusswords, missbeckywrites, kurowrites, fakesheep-luna, captainneverever, teaberryblue
Artists: j000000, brownbear-tm, zealouscorgi, nat-draws-things, sirdef, kelslk, a16yearsold, krusca, perindax, utsukin, osuda, artbyfliff, rinis7, hello-shellhead, ironfries (I’m not actually sure if they’re still in the fandom, but they still have lots of Stony art up and/or floating around Tumblr), sekra, sakubows/sakubow, crazyk-c, daki-tb, nohaijiachi, frafru, hayatecrawford, tgoamt, wackyavengers, yoats, rinnirrinnir, ask-the-stark(also check out the art tag on dailysuperhusbands. That way, you can find some artists whose style you personally like to follow) qouinette-not has some really nice Stony pieces and a really awesome art style that I like, so I recommend checking out their blog, even though I don’t think you’ll be seeing a lot of Stony pieces from them in the future.
stevetonyfic has fic recs.
Other awesome people: thedirectorstark, brandnewfashion (also author, same username on AO3), igavethatbitchalink (also writes; is MystikSpiral on AO3), flange5 (is currently doing a read-through of old-school comics, so lots of comic scans), squeeful (I’m not sure how much Stony she posts/reblogs, but she will headcanon with you and also be salty with you; it’s great), jenngeek, wreck-it-rogers (also an artist), doctoranthonystark, tinmantonystark, milessmorales, ask-thelittleheros (Which isn’t focused on Stony, but their AU is great and thoughtful and awesome in general), directorshellhead, starkwest, shellhead-rogers, avengersasssemble, yougavemeahome, cyborgcap, tony-starks-heart
Also keep an eye out for stevetonyfest, which is an awesome event that’ll come around again in the summer, I think.
Of course, there are lots of other awesome people in the fandom who I might have forgotten to list or haven’t encountered yet, but once you start following people in the fandom, you’ll start seeing who they’re reblogging from, interacting with, who OPs are, etc.
Lots of authors are on AO3. I recommend checking out ppl’s blogs cuz most of them will have links to their AO3 accounts.
[Note to people I tagged: if you’re not in the fandom anymore and would like me to add that caveat or remove you from the list, please do not hesitate to contact me, either in reblog or through an ask (which I will respond to privately).]
(edit: links should all be working now. if they are not, tell me and I will gripe about Tumblr’s broke-ass coding some more and see if I can fix it without fucking everything else up too)
