I'd been meaning to pick up some new Marvel titles anyway.

So it comes out today that DC decided to boot Gail Simone off of Batgirl, a baffling decision considering that the book has good sales and critical reception. Why? Well, twitter offers a tantalizing clue:



Oh, and apparently the firing happened via email. STAY CLASSY, DC!

(I'm so upset and I'm not even READING Batgirl. I'm hoping Marvel snaps her up right quick and gives her a Black Widow solo title.)

So I finally caught up on LJ & AO3 comments for Possession, Indiscretions and Caught Up In Circles and added them to the masterlist. \o/ (I'm often a giant failboat about responding to fic comments - I love love love them, but when I open up the comment field to respond I feel my mind grind to a halt as every word I type sounds dopey and insincere and gah. But if I don't say anything I worry that people will think I don't appreciate them. And I do! And yes, I understand that this is like complaining I have too much delicious cake.:) It is really the best of all possible fannish problems, and I love and adore everyone who so much as presses the kudos button on one of my fics. *hugs* so please don't stop commenting.)

And I know I have comments on other stories to respond to, but at least the three newest are squared away. I've also uploaded my DCSS fic to AO3! So that's all taken care of.

Now the next deadline is Yuletide on the 20th, so I'm hoping to get that out of the way by the end of the week, then I can buckle down on dc_dystopia.

Why does this not exist?!

HEY FANDOM!

Okay Bones fans, we know that Booth was an Army Ranger, right? So your mission is to write ALLLLLL the crossovers where he and Coulson where in the service together. All the fic!

Ooh! Fic where before getting assigned to his current beat Booth's last investigation was trying to run down Clint Barton for some terrible thing Clint had done, where Booth suffered through false lead after false lead until the trail finally went cold and he was reassigned, and sometimes at night that chase still gets to him because this Barton was a sniper like him and Booth knew how easy it could have been to go bad the same way.

Then one day they Bones and the rest of the squints have a burned up body on the table and Bones is mystified, because it looks like the poor guy was killed with an arrow and Booth leaps on it like a ravenous wolf because he knows it's Barton, it has to be, he finally has him.

And then the next day the body is gone, the data is wiped and Coulson is skulking around, telling Booth he has to abandon the investigation and thanking him for his cooperation. And then there's a whole mystery everyone gets swept up in, because for once Clint didn't kill this guy and they all have to figure out who did.

And Angela used to be a SHIELD agent and that's why she could design that impossible program - it's just a part of her past she doesn't like to talk about.

One of you should write this for me. :BIG EYES:
