neveralarchI've kind of fallen face first into comics fandom over the last week. I mean, it was coming over the last couple months, especially leading up to The Avengers, but now I have opinions about other people's fanfic and am rediscovering all of my feelings about Doctor Doom. I've seen Avengers twice, which I think makes it the first time I've ever gone to theaters for a movie more than once. I keep making plans to watch some more of the new Avengers cartoon, since I only ever got two episodes in (and I hear Doom is in the second season). I'm 7,000 words into a Clint Barton/Natasha Romanov/Bruce Banner fic that no one will want to read. (And I figured, if no one's going to read it, what's wrong with throwing in a Doom cameo? This is the most self-indulgent semi-serious fic I've written in quite a while. Also I think I may have forgotten how to write reasonably short things.)
IDK where these feelings are coming from, because I haven't regularly bought comics in three years. I used to be really into them, but no money and no time is not good for keeping up with anything that's released monthly (or weekly!) and costs $3-$4 each. I'm still not super interested in building up my reading list again, but I'm pretty sure that's only because Gail Simone is writing Batgirl atm rather than something I'd be more interested in. If she was still writing Secret Six, I would probably be buried in DC feelings now as well as Marvel ones.
The point of this is, this is a bad time to be weeding my comic book collection. Which I'm supposed to be doing this summer, so that I don't have to store or haul nine fileboxes of comics that I don't necessarily want. I've been pretty good about being non-sentimental about most of the stuff in my room - yu-gi-oh cards, neopets plushies and my old stereo system are all ready for a garage sale, though I've chickened out on my pokemon cards. But I don't know how many of my comics I could part with at this point. Or, rather, I could almost definitely get rid of the boring/badly written ones, but not without rereading them first.
I should probably get started then, because this is going to take forever.
