MCU in SPAAAAAAAACE

This is your reminder that ALL Endgame content posted to the comm should be behind a cut, including relatively tame observations such as "I liked it!" Videos about Endgame should also be behind a cut, because sometimes the preview image is spoilery. When in doubt, use a cut!

From glitteryv: Just a quick heads up that social media (especially Twitter) reactions from movie critics will begin to pour in sometime after 11 pm US Eastern time (GMT -4) on Monday, April 22. Also, the review embargo will lift sometime Tuesday afternoon/early evening. (Source, approximately the next two mins of this podcast, featuring professional reviewers.)

So there you are, folks. Buckle up.

The comm is really hopping lately, which makes me SO happy. Thanks you all for making things go. <3

I want to throw this out there as something I'd love to see, but which I don't have the time to do myself. You know how there used to be fandom newsletters on LJ that linked all the fic posted during that time interval? (Buffy fandom actually STILL has an active one, su_herald, if you want an example of what they looked like.) They were great for finding fic you might want to read. These days, gen, and weird rarepairs in particular tend to get lost if you're just browsing the fandom tag on AO3.

I have no desire to start a newsletter. HOWEVER, if anyone wanted to do something like that on a much smaller scale for the comm here, I think that would be neat. :D For example, maybe you would like to link all the Carol/Maria Rambeau fics posted in a week, or all the fics featuring Heimdall, or just all the GotG fic that looked personally interesting to you.

Basically, if you feel the urge to collect some links and drop them here, you would be most welcome. No commitment necessary! My feeling is that any promotion of those harder-to-find fics (and let's face it, most fic in the cosmic MCU fits that definition) is good promotion, whether it's exhaustive or not.

(It's possible I'm the only person here who finds links-collecting soothing, and so a project like this will just sound like work to everyone else. But, you know, maybe not? :D?)

Our activity this week!
Call for recs: rare characters
Icons - a recs post of MCU icon makers
MCU kinkmeme prompts

And now the call for help: do you love the cosmic MCU? Would you like to help grow the comm and keep it active? I would really love one or two volunteers to make posts on a weekly basis. Specifically I need someone to post a discussion question or topic, (probably on Thurs or Friday?) and someone to post a themed call for recs (Sunday or Monday?). They don't need to be complicated or involved unless you want them to be. Please comment or DM me if you'd be interested! 🙏🙏🙏

Currently the schedule I have looks something like this:
Saturday: weekly roundup
Sunday: call for recs
Tuesday: kinkmeme prompt roundup
Thursday: discussion question

And obviously people are welcome to post anything else they want (recs, fanwork promotion, canon questions, etc) at any time.

So I posted my ideas of what I'm envisioning for this comm, but I'd also love to hear from you guys. Hence, a poll! Feel free to expand on your votes in the comments.
