I currently have a folder with over twenty Young Avengers plot bunnies, and almost half of them are for stories I might actually write. I started reading YA almost exactly one month ago. That was quick :)
(I have one almost finished story about Sarah Altman - anyone willing to beta?)

By coincidence I found

marvel_bang just before sign-ups close tomorrow and decided to give it a try. It's 10k and I already have 2k of outline... A dystopia AU with aliens and a resistance movement and prisons, I think it could be fun.

Last Saturday was Free Comic Book Day in Vienna! I got AV to come with me, we went to 4 different shops and got about 15 comics each. I'm not finished reading them, but I enjoyed the Guardians of the Galaxy intro (looking forward to the movie) and a few of the others are also interesting. A few people were in cosplay, one store had a game table set up to play Munchkin and other stuff (they also had free chocolate), one store had so many figurines and stuff everywhere that I was afraid to turn around, and one store had a whole room almost entirely full of superhero comics that we enjoyed browsing. If I had more money I'd have bought so many comic books. It was also nice to see that at least half of the people coming were women.

In more depressing news, I failed my driving test. The reason was basically that ~~I didn't use first gear often enough~~ the examiner was a dick. At least my driving instructor was so mad about it that the driving school decided not to bill me for the attempt. It's frustrating, but I'm not feeling too bad about it anymore because it wasn't my fault and also my dad bought me very good chocolate as consolation.
