The Musings of an Eclectic Woman

As I had explained in my "sticky" post, when I attended escapadecon.net with my friend of over 20 years, the "Due South" expertride_4ever, I knew I wanted to get involved in the world of fanfic as a writer, but I didn’t know in what way. However, during the "Black Panther" panel, fic authorraine, at the end of the panel, mentioned that she would love to see a Black Widow/Nakia femslash. I thought, wait a minute! I can do that.

Now we’re talking Marvel, and in my life, with my time, I can focus on Marvel comics, OR I can focus on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, OR I can do both.  Well, I’m not doing both. So I choose to focus on the Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU.

I like Marvel movies, but I haven’t seen most of them, and before I write a Black Widow/Nakia femslash, I HAVE to watch ALL of the Marvel movies. Why? Because that’s the way I am. I can’t help it. My personality won’t work any other way.

So . . . my watching all of the Marvel movies means that I’ll be posting reviews right here. AFTER I’ve reviewed ALL of the Marvel movies up until the ones that haven’t been released yet, I’ll write my first Black Widow/Nakia femslash. It’s going to take me the rest of the year and a large part of 2019 to review all of the Marvel movies that have been released.  But, there’s no rush here.  My goal is to stick to a weekly schedule. Which means that I’d like to post a movie review every Saturday, Sunday or Monday. It’s going to be fun.  

When I attended Escapade 2018 as a newbie, I was a fish out of water. But for Escapade 2019, I’ll be there with a Marvel t-shirt on!

Also, I plan to own all of the Marvel movies on DVD. I don’t want to just watch them online. The first movie in the MCU is "Iron Man."  I own that one and the review follows. The next one is "The Incredible Hulk," and so on. I like my plan. It works well with my personality, my brain and my need to be organized in areas of my life.

The last time I posted here was in April 2018. I had a dance performance, pro-fic writing, ghostwriting and other demands on my time that caused me to take a long break from Dreamwidth.  Sometimes, that’s what’s needed in life. As I said before, there’s no rush. You do things in life when you’re ready to do them.  Now I’m ready to start posting Marvel movie reviews.

Yesterday, I was down; today I'm feeling better. As I said earlier, one of my focuses is on fic reading, especially femslash. The one I read this morning is Chasing After Gold Mines by geckoholic. (I'm not sure if geckoholic is on Dreamwidth or not. I found the name "geckoholic" but it may or may not be the author.) Anyway, I found the fic well-written and entertaining. I only wish it were longer. When I read something good, if it's short, I usually want it to be longer. :-)

I've always been a profic author, and I never thought about fanfic. But my friend of over 20 years, the Due South expertride_4ever, got me interested in the fanfic world by introducing me to Due South. This past weekend, she took it a step further by introducing me to a fanfic con - escapadecon.net. My hopes while attending this con is that I would find something that would motivate me to get started in fanfic. Although I love watching Due South episodes and the more than hot Paul Gross, nothing I've seen so far inspired me to start writing anything slash related. However, during the Black Panther panel at Escapade 2018 fic authorraine, at the end of the panel, mentioned that she would love to see a Black Widow/Nakia femslash. I thought, Wait a minute! I can do that. So this is where it will begin. My first fanfic and first femslash will be Black Widow/Nakia. Although femslash is not as popular as slash, I discovered that there's enough interest in femslash to make it worth my time. (After all, I'm not just writing for myself.) So not only was Escapade 2018 an excellent con to attend for someone who has never written fanfic and who has never attended such a con, the experience helped me to achieve my goal of finding a pairing that would interest me!
