Right, introductions. Hi! I'm Marianne, though I answer to 'shine' too if that's easier to remember. I'm also your friendly neighborhood forum admin. This account is separate from the admin account for two reasons:
1. It's probably better for everyone if it's clear when I'm wearing the Mod Hat and when I'm just another fuckass spouting opinions on the internet, so nobody has to worry about retribution for telling me I'm full of crap.
2. It's definitely better for everyone if I minimize my chances of trying to drunk-reply to someone and realizing two seconds after I hit 'post' that I clicked the 'edit' button instead of the 'reply' button.
Anyway! I've been a casual MCU viewer ever since the first Thor movie, but I only really got into it as a fandom after Cap 2 came out and pushed just about every single one of my buttons. I'm a happy multishipper, I fangirl Steve Rogers like nobody's business and therefore adore watching him suffer and get punched a lot, and while most of my fic output is terrible Hydra Trash Party shameporn, I enjoy reading a pretty wide variety of fic and meta. I'm an old-school fan who's been at this for upwards of fifteen years across various platforms, and this forum is an experimental attempt to give an outlet to some of the pent-up need for discussion caused by Tumblr's deficiencies as a venue for actual conversation. We'll see how well it works and whether it ever takes off.
