Well, if there's anything that could overcome my love of Marvel for the last four years, then DC's Wonder Woman might very well be it.

If they pull it (and Suicide Squad) off, then I might very well jump back to Diana/Bruce, which looks like it already has a few decent writers, and maybe a couple of good ones to boot.

Maria/Steve will always be the MCU pairing of my heart, but it's been hell being the only steady, dedicated writer for it for 4 years, with little encouragement and nobody to share the load who stuck it out for the duration.

I loved Marvel back before the X-men Movies wrecked my favourite character (Scott Summers), I was a fan of the Justice League Animated series between Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. I enjoyed the Dark Knight trilogy before I got into the MCU with the first Avengers movie, and if DC pull this off, then I'll be there with bells on.

Dr. Strange? Spiderman? No. Not in my interests pile.

Avengers: Infinity War? Well, I'll probably go see it, but it mostly depends on whether they continue to use Maria in the MCU. The odds of that are little-to-nothing, which means the odds of people appreciating her are little-to-nothing, and the odds of people writing her are sweet fuck-all.

But the reports on BvS:DoJ Extended Edition are positive, and Suicide Squad seems to have gone straight for diversity, and WW hits all my 'female characters that I can love' buttons, even before you add in a blond-haired blue-eyed pretty boy as a love interest.

Totally understandable. Fandom isn't fun when there's no one to share it with and 4 years is a long time. I'm still too new to jump ship and I don't know why but besides batman DC doesn't really do it for me. But I'll def read anything you write.

Not gonna lie, I'm going to go see the WW movie for the WW1 setting. :D I'm honestly DROOLING, I'm going to get to see the era portrayed with a big ass budget and not filtered through the BBC's institutional biases.

I love reading Steve/Maria, or Maria as a character on her own (she's one of my faves of the modern era), but I've never really felt the desire or drive to write anything MCU besides Agent Carter. And I haven't really been excited about the MCU for a while--I still read fic, but haven't seen Civil War, Ant Man, or Age of Ultron. I've always enjoyed reading your stuff, but felt guilty because I didn't really have any desire to write something for you.

DC, however, was what I grew up on. I am so pumped to see Wonder Woman! Etta Candy! Yay! I'm also really enjoying Supergirl, Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow on TV.

The thing is, I'm not really feeling ficcish about any of the fandoms I'm reading in/following. My fic plot bunnies right now are all in my older fandoms, with the singular exception of TFA (which I'm not sure counts, because it is an older fandom and my main interest in writing it is crossing it over with earlier time periods of it).
