shallowness

I spent the end of March posting a lot of recs at het_reccers before it came to an end. I may repost them at a more lesiurely pace at het_reccers, which asks for slightly different information). What I’ve learned: to stop being precious about the content of my recs, which may have been why my reccing at the comms dropped off - when I'm reccing here, I'm much more chilled because it's my space; it’s easier to post a few recs in a go than masses because of fiddly HTML; I liked a lot of het fic from Yuletide 2015.

Also, if anyone who, like me, liked Taraji P. Henson as Joss Carter in Person of Interest, saw the trailer for ‘Proud Mary’ and thought ‘Ooh’, profit from my experience: it’s dull. You're really better off watching a couple of PoI eps. Kudos to whoever made the trailer, but it makes the film look way better than it is.

Thirdly, I posted a ficlet yesterday: Not Quite a Gulp (Sherlock, U. Molly Hooper (Molly/Sherlock). 125 words. Set during ‘The Final Problem’). I wrote it the weekend before last, when the prompt 'magpie' made me think of the scenario, let it rest, got the idea for the title and posted it. I hope to post a few more ficlets over the coming days as a sort of spring cleaning because since finishing the reccing, I’ve been looking over what I thought were snippets, polishing them and writing new bits and bobs.

Fourthly, I intend to play TV catch up today so perhaps I’ll be posting about the results of that.

Agents of SHIELD - 5.4 Rewind

E4 is trumpeting that it’s the new home of Gotham. I did not squee, although I have been wondering what happened to wee Bruce and wee Selina, but did a little research, and they’re not showing season 3 (which Netflix had in the UK, which is, by definition, NOT free to air) so I won’t know what happened next with ( certain things ). I mean, I didn’t care enough to buy a DVD, and I’ll just have to read reviews, bemoaning the lack of TWoP recaps. So, it’s a qualified ‘yay’!?

It's turned out to be a snow day, and my mind has turned to reccing because [Bad username or site: het_reccers @ LJ"] is winding up at the end of the month.

Maybe a Black Widow movie is inching closer into existence. I read this at The Guardian, squeaked, had to try to explain why…and it was a squeak, not squeeing.

As to the news, I want something more definite before I let myself squee, and I don’t think they need to wait to see how Captain Marvel does before getting this going. If it happens, it’ll be interesting to see if they’ll pull in other Avengers (Bruce or Clint?) and what size role they get – although ( spoilers for ) Homecoming and Ragnarok.

In the other (British) Avengers news, Shane ‘Iron Man 3’ Black and his writing partner are working on a reboot of The Avengers. My thoughts: don’t do what the movie did (although Fiennes was good casting, it was a mess). And underlying that, there's great wariness. I know extreme reboots have worked, but I think you need to understand the era in, well, England, to get it right, and the tone of The Avengers is easy to get wrong.
