I had a dream last night where Marvel had released a trade which accidentally included two issues of Captain America that hadn't come out yet. And at the end of it Sam Wilson and Sharon Carter were TOTALLY smooching!

I think I officially sort of ship them now. And I wouldn't be surprised if Brubaker went there, what with the his answer in the director's cut of Captain America 25 to what Falcon's role in the book was being "He's being a rock for Sharon." And, uh. The part where he totally CLIMBED INTO HER WINDOW, which is obs. an indication that they're going to start doing it any minute now.

(It's not likely to WORK, because they'll both be thinking about Steve. But it's hella likely to HAPPEN.)

But the rest of the dream was occupied with wondering how Marvel could do such a thing and talking to the comic shop guy about reducing orders on those two issues once they came out in floppy. (And wondering whether to buy them ANYWAY for completeness' sake.) Because I am just that sort of pathetic geek.

In other Falcon-related news! Y'all should go put in prompts for the Characters of Color Love Fest!

Which...I will probably go do, once I stop feeling horrifically self-indulgent for either (a) being All Sam Wilson, All the Time or (b) running around and suggesting all sorts of random people the poor multifandom organizers have never heard of, like Skyrocket and Josiah Power (hella hot and awesome but both from The Power Company which lasted, like, eighteen issues) and Amazing Man (clearly we need fic about the third-stringer who won Maxima's hand!).

Multifandom things make me self-conscious.

In completely NON Falcon-related news, I got a lovely postcard from

poisonivory! Which was actually confusing for a minute 'cause it was under her real name and not fannish except in a YAY ITALY way, but, dude. YAY ITALY! Also, old maps = win. Thanks,

poisonivory!

Huh. I didn't even realize there was a second Amazing Man. I only know the All Star Squadron version.

Yeah--I know almost nothing about the second one, since he mostly showed up in Extreme Justice which is eye-bleeding, but! Maxima decided he was Worthy! CLEARLY THERE IS FIC THERE.

Power Company = Win. Celia and Josiah are amazing.

It is very very sad that they have been denied the broader DCU career THEY DESERVE!

A CoC love fest! I am so there, despite. Uhh. My chronic inability to finish fic in a timely manner. >.>

*laughs* Well, you could always propose things and then fail at the writing! It is SET UP THAT WAY!

Still, I encourage you!

...oh God, Caia, I'm already at fifteen prompts. *headdesk*

:D! *cheers you on!*

Ah hah hah, oh man, I did up so many prompts that LJ wouldn't let me post them as a single comment. XD;

*LAUGHS* You = win. :D

(I am sorry my fanboy of color icon likes Hal.)

It's not likely to WORK, because they'll both be thinking about Steve. But it's hella likely to HAPPEN.

I... think I'd like to see something along these lines happen, but I'm not sure. I will see where Captain Brubaker steers this ship, I guess.

Yeah, I figure if Brubaker can handle Bucky's resurrection and Cap's death, he can probably handle Sam/Sharon! I'm good with it *not* happening, but I'm totally down with it happening, too.

It's amazing what a comfort good writing can be.

I don't know, maybe there should be a special COC challenge for obscure comic book characters? *g* Because all three of those characters deserve way more attention than they get. (Yes, Will included. There was a surprising amount that was good in EJ, if you excluded the art, and Will being sane and sensible and also falling for Maxima was definitely on the list.)

...on the other hand, Amanda really *does* need to get laid. *g* I can hear her hapless staff (in any time period or any universe, Amanda has a hapless staff) plotting now...

*laughs* Well, if this one doesn't get all the Will, Josiah, Celia, et al. fic we need, maybe we can hold one! Because...clearly there needs to be Will/Maxima without the eye-bleeding art. There REALLY DOES. (And for those so inclined, they both have powers that could be interesting in porn.)

And yes. Amanda does. This is one of the essential facts of the multiverse.

Apparently, you dream like me, in a highly organized and technical way. Some people dream in rich metaphor of fantastic events; I dream of working at the supermarket.

But I would be so excited if that happened! With extra issues! And plot twists! Wonderful.

Sorry for the rambling. 12:04 am.

"Highly organized and technical" is kind of pushing it, but I generally get at least some sort of plot. And it's not uncommon, at least in the dreams I remember, for my sleeping mind to expend a lot of effort doing the equivalent of fanwanking the dream to make it fit into some sort of continuity: basically what happened in that one was that I was reading a Cap trade in which Sam and Sharon were making out! And then I remembered that the next issue of Cap hadn't come out yet, so there was the whole plotline with the mysterious extra issues in the trade...
