writing questions

YA novel - 1st or 3rd person? I know the current convention is for 1st, but I've written about 25K in 3rd until I suddenly realised it might be better in 1st. Thing is, I'm not used to writing 1st person.

Avengers - What's the fandom like? I know there's a huge Steve/Tony contingent, although the het fans are going for Clint/Natasha, and the genners are all OMG!TEAM, but...other characters? Tropes? Writing conventions? Things-that-fandom-really-won't-let-you-get-away-with?

Ah. The Bambi. Okay, I got it.

I think that Steve would know about that, but there'd be a certain amount of culture-shock for him in the degree to which people are casual about such things. He wouldn't think it's indecent, just...it's not entirely comfortable for him - a different level of mores.

Son!PeterParker? I'm going to have to go back for the tried and true "Wait, what?" query.

Oh, okay. I haven't yet seen Hulk. I guess I should.

I am (totally unexpectedly, I know) crushing on Maria Hill. Quiet, tough, competent, reserved and with the potential to take control if it was needed. (Totally unexpected for me. TOTALLY.)

*laughs* Of course you are.

I'm not going to watch the Hulk until I see it in the 9 hour cut. Apparently it's better there.

Yeah. Several fics have Peter as Tony and Steve's kid. You can find most of these under the 'superfamily' tag. There's a partial rec list somewhere too, if you're interested.

Exactly. Consumerism/etc. There's a post somewhere about what exactly Steve would find surprising.

I may, possibly, perhaps, maybe have a leetle bit of a type going. :)

Uh. No. Not really interested in Tony/Steve Spiderkid, amusing though the thought might be. But thanks!
