Please fill out this anonymous interest check if you are interested in participating in Cap Bang!
Mods need to know what interest there is before plowing ahead!
You will help us shape this Bang into what you want it to be. Here are a few of the interest check questions as an example:
Should the Cap Bang include Peggy Carter/Captain Carter as a Cap? (You could create work for any Peggy ship if so.)
Should the Bang consider anyone who's held the mantle of Captain America (i.e. John Walker, etc.) as a Cap? (You could create work for any John ship if so.)
What form of Bang should this be (Big Bang, Reverse Bang, Double Bang)?
Sign ups close February 1st at 11:59pm EST. This is a super quick and easy form to fill out, so don't fret!
If you want to be both an author and artist, you'll have to fill out the form twice: once as a writer, and once as an artist. The questions are different, but equally quick and easy!

I had the absolute joy of working together with @gottalovev for this Marvel Bang!
Fic: Let me dream a song
Tony is sent to Colonel Phillips to assist with a secret weapon that could help them win the war. In exchange, he'll have the support from a few of his soldiers in order to retrieve Hydra's mysterious Cube, which could be the solution to fix his heart.
It's a shock to find out that Phillips’ weapon is a man, a super soldier even. Even more so that it's Steve, the cute soldier Tony met in a bar the night before, and with whom he made an instant connection. Love in a time of war isn't easy, but Steve and Tony are determined to make it work.
If you want Noir Steve/Tony, navigating a new relationship in times of war, and being sweet with each other, this is the perfect fic for you!!
Read it HERE on AO3!
This started out with an amazing ficlet Lou wrote for me as a gift years ago. I still love it so much, and now there is so much more, it’s awesome and it is wonderful to have finished this together!

Summary:
Bucky Barnes doesn’t have time for anything impractical, especially gen ed classes that waste his time and distract him from his engineering degree. That’s why he waits until his last semester in college to sign up for a music appreciation class, which is the only thing standing between him and graduation. When his professor walks into the classroom, Bucky’s brain short-circuits. Although he’s sure he’ll never be good enough for someone so suave, intelligent, and successful, that doesn’t stop Bucky from wanting to find out what’s underneath starched button downs and jackets with corduroy elbow patches.
A decade into his academic career, Steve Rogers is burned out—not because he doesn’t love his job but due to the bone deep, aching loneliness that dogs him during the empty hours after classes and countless faculty meetings. It’s just his luck that a long-haired, one-armed veteran turns up in one of his classes with a scowl, obvious self-esteem issues, and a chip on his shoulder. Although Steve won’t cross the line between student and professor, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t long for something more, especially when Bucky seems to need him as much as Steve wants someone to love.
For this year's Marvel Bang I was paired with the amazing Cerylid. This is the art that I made for their fic So Easy. Please go check it out! It was fun revisiting the X-Men.
Please make sure to post your works between June 3rd and June 9th for any timezone! If you have any questions, please send us an ask, message, or reach out to us on Discord! We’re so very excited to see your works and happy posting!
Week One artists and authors are now free to unleash your Silver Fox Steve. Mods will be checking the SFS_Bang_22 collection daily and once your work is completely posted, we will approve your fic to be added to this year's Bang collection.
Also, don't forget all art must be embedded in the fic and credited to the artist.
The sheriff and the town drunk team up to save the town of Timely and they find more than they bargained for.
Notes:
Steve's speech to the townspeople was quoted from the comic book, as was one of his encounters with Tony in the saloon.

Native People are referred in the vernacular of the day. No offence is meant.

Even though the comic book Timely is part of Battleworld, I decided to write it as if it existed in the real world in 1872, New Mexico.
We'll be operating on this bingo blog and on the renamed WinterIron Events (Bingo) Discord, but you do not have to participate in the Bingo to participate in the Bang!

I thought I'd pop back in here now that the @trackmarvel blog has been going steady for a while to promote the blog! I find Marvel events, whether they be Bingos, Bangs, Prompt Events, Exchanges, Zines, and more, and share them with fandom!
I know it can be difficult, if not impossible, to keep track of all the events going on these days. As an event runner, I get frustrated when I hear that people only heard of my event way past the sign up deadline, despite significant efforts to promote the event on Tumblr. I want to help fellow event runners with getting the word out!
I also, selfishly, want to track down, find, and share as many events as possible for my fellow event enthusiasts.
Whether you love the MCU or comics, Avengers Assemble or video games, no matter your ship, this blog is to serve you!
If you would like to make sure your event is reblogged here, please @trackmarvel and/or #trackmarvel to ensure I see it.
If you would like to promote a Discord event, message me so we can figure something out.

Summary: Peter's life post-spell hasn't gone as well as he would've liked. He misses his friends and his family. He can't find a job. He's applying to university, hoping to find a way to afford the tuition fees. While he's trying - again - to pull his life together, he is suddenly knocked out of the air while swinging in to help out Dr. Strange, only to wake up in a New York he doesn't quite recognize.
