Is this event still active? I think the last time you updated was in 2021, but it's hard to tell because your events don't have years attached.

No, the mods have no plans to continue the event. The original event was in 2019/2020 and can be found here

We are more than happy to hand over the idea of the event to anyone who is interested

no more empty self-possession by @thesoulundone

this is another fic i knew i had to bind as soon as i read it (even though it wasn't even finished yet!) unfortunately the desire to hold this in book form didn't translate to a design idea and i spent weeks trying to think of the perfect way to present the text. i didn't realize how much i rely on old-fashioned typesetting norms, which don't exactly work for a super modern office au.

but luckily! the amazing @shrugsinchinese let me use their drawing of izzy's polaroid on the title page - it really brought everything together and helped me find the vision for the design haha so extra extra thanks to them

from a technical standpoint this book turned out Perfectly - i ordered premade bookcloth bc my diy version turned out so badly last time, and i got So Much hahaha i'll be binding teal books forever. the endpapers are a peacock design marble paper and ofc the textblock is mohawk superfine. when i make thicker books i use lineco super on the spine and i'm always surprised how strong that makes the book!

the lettering on the cover is silver acrylic paint - i hand cut a vinyl stencil and painted through it. making and painting the stencil may have been my favorite part of this process haha it was like mini screenprinting.

the text is set in my personal classic 10pt adobe caslon with 14pt letter spacing and 1 inch margins. nmesp is a fairly long work compared to my usual bindings, but i still gave it the space as if it was shorter since the larger margins look so much better. it only ended up about an inch thick or so! a perfectly proportioned book imo.

i also had such a good time typesetting all the different communication... slack messages (lato) text messages (helvetica) and emails (calibri). something about typesetting an office au while i'm working at my own office job makes me feel so seen hahaha

and of course there's a playlist to go along with the fic!!! my favorite thing to incorporate into a book design. this time i went with izzy's business card.

anyway thank you @thesoulundone for writing such a cute and funny and sweet and insightful story and thank you for letting me turn it into this project !! i had so much fun with it

Official Announcement

We are doing another round of The Marvel Disability Celebration! Yay!

What is TMDC?

It's an event meant to celebrate disability within all the universes of Marvel which takes place July 24th - July 30th 2022. It means you can once again get creative!

All works will be shared on this blog, as well as on our AO3 collection. By the end of the event, you can also win badges. What kind of badges we came up with this year and what you need to do to get them, will be disclosed soon!

What can I create?

Fans can celebrate in-canon disabled characters such as Professor X or Hawkeye etc. or depict a variety of disabilities through any character of your choosing (be it comics, MCU, X-Men etc. as long as it stays within the Marvel universe) or adding original ones. You can get as creative as you like, as long as the work is centred around disabled characters! Last year we made a list to help you with the inspiration. Make sure to look through the notes!

What to consider when participating?

You can find the rules for the event here. And in case you want to become a part of our family, chat with a group of like-minded people or share what you are working on, and celebrate disabled characters with us: we have a Discord server that you can join. Just message one of the mods @thedamageofherdays, @the-glacian or @widow13witch for an invite!

Announcements will be made on Tumblr and Discord only.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions!

Will you be doing another bang this year?

Hi, I can't speak with a totally firm answer, but right now there are no plans to do a bang this year. That might change, but we currently have no plans. Sorry!

[h2awrites]

Written and Painted by @h2awrites (@hogwartstoalexandria) and @nonexistenz for the @marvelrarepairbang!

whispers are never this careless

Ironpool - Mature - 5+1 steps Tony and Wade took towards falling for each other.

Summary - "Tony, Tony, Tony… Can I call you Tony?" 

Tony snorts, "Think you just did."

"How long have we known each other?"

"I wouldn't say we really do, actually." Tony crosses his arms, waiting for Wade to keep going.

"You are an interesting man, Tony Stark," he says finally.

What just happened? Tony doesn't have the slightest idea, but something did.

Just Give Me A Reason - Masterpost

Title: Just Give Me A Reason

Author: jstabe

Artist: @huntress79​

Rating: Explicit

Pairing: James “Bucky” Barnes/Clint Barton/Steve Rogers

Major Archive Warnings: No Warnings Apply

Notes: a collab for the @marvelrarepairbang​

Summary:  Falling in love with Steve was easy. Adding Bucky to the mix when he came back was just slightly more difficult. Clint should have known that nothing was that simple. When it all falls apart, he has to find a way to move forward. He can’t just quit being an Avenger. Then S.H.I.E.L.D. comes to him with a mission - HYDRA is up to something regarding the Winter Soldier. Clint will be damned if HYDRA takes Bucky from Steve again. And if working with the two super soldiers threatens to break Clint’s heart again? Well, he’ll learn how to deal. Getting back together? Not even on Clint’s radar.

even in winter, my heart is green

For the @marvelrarepairbang​ :)

(though most poly ships end up being somewhat rare so it’s a bit cheating *shrugs*)

Clintasha x Bruce Banner with Ballet AU/Undercover Mission or maybe i just wanted to adapt superhero outfits for ballet, who knows

Basically: Ballet calms the Hulk down, so Bruce ends up going to a lot of presentations when he’s feeling on edge. So many, that a certain Spy Duo is suspicious they’re being followed. Natasha and Clint decide to check, very thoroughly, just how much information this cute possible-stalker has on them. Bruce is just trying to keep his alter ego from ruining his chances with the hot ballet dancers and not have a heart attack in the process.

a prince does not (i do what i want)

My rarepair for @marvelrarepairbang​ :)

T’Challa x Loki, because why not. Two cat-like princes, how could I resist?

So uh, it’s a bang, but I ended up flying solo, so there’s no companion fic (if anyone wanna write it, feel free), but the orginal idea was: Black Panther is turned into an actual Black Cat. Loki, being a shapeshifter, is the only one who can understand him. Loki, being an asshole, decides to have as much fun as possible under the pretense of “helping”. Bonus points if Thor is around and can also understand T’Challa because of the All-Speak but decides to troll/ship them instead. Extra bonus points for Shuri conspiring with Thor.

Title: Three Nights in a Row

         Author: Judy_The_Dreamer

         Artist: Huntress79

        Rating: M

        Pairing: Bucky Barnes/Pepper Potts

         Major Archive Warnings: Graphic violence/injury

         Summary: Bucky Barnes is still trying to find his footing after being welcomed into the Avengers. Sleep doesn’t come easy, but surprisingly, romance does. He can only hope there’s enough of that old charmer left in him to win over the woman that has caught his eye. Did he mention Pepper Potts is way out of his league?

Will matchmaking shenanigans and late night conversations help Bucky figure out what he wants and, more importantly, who he truly is?
