Is there any point in signing up for
avengersfest when all I really want is Maria Hill or Maria/Steve, and so far about 10 people have signed up and Maria is either "will not write" or one of the "oh, I suppose you can write her if you really really absolutely must" listings or unmentioned in their sign-up?

In related thoughts, thanks to a conversation with a friend from SGA fandom (well, with her and assorted other people): am I the only one who finds Maria an interesting character who is worthy of fannish development (ie. fanfic) without the addition of fandom?
ie. if you had never read my fic, never met me, never listened to me or read me, would you be interested in Maria at all?
Because I'm thinking that the answer for about 90% of the people I know - even the ones who love my fic and love the way I write Maria - is "No."
Which, yes, is a tremendous compliment to me, but also a little depressing.

My current MCU Top Ten list reads something like this:
1. Natasha Romanova
2. Steve Rogers
3. Claire Temple
4. Bobbi Morse
5. Sam Wilson
6. Peggy Carter
7. Melinda May
8. Matt Murdock
9. Maria Hill
10. Nick Fury
Of course, as for WRITING even just the above -- that usually only happens for protagonists of their respective tales. I don't tend to focus on what the franchise treats as minor characters (well, you've seen my fic roster; you know). I am too canon-focused to take the ball of in actuality much cooler characters and run with it unless prompted, and given our sexist, racist, and otherwise problematic media creations that is sad.

I've seen some very bad/unpleasant characterisations of her, which makes me sad.
