There’s still a long writing stretch ahead, so don’t worry if you haven’t started yet!
If you’re looking for an idea, it may help you if you think about your favorite canon moments. What were the moments that pulled you in? What are the moments that inspired you to write for this fandom? What do you want to see happen between Steve and Tony?
When you remember what you like about canon, build your story from there!
Have you ever wondered what could have gone differently if characters had made another choice at a crucial junction? What would that world look like?
Would it be happy?
Or sad?
Use this opportunity to explore different directions in canon!
Or have you thought about getting deep into world building? Which characters would Tony and Steve take the place of if they were in Wonderland?
What if the Avengers were Knights of the Round Table?
Or what if they were all students?
Or villains in an alternate dimension?
Or vampires?
The possibilities are endless! Whichever way you want to take your Steve/Tony story, we want to see it!
MCU?
Or comics?
Cartoons?
Choose the universe you’re most excited about. Don’t worry, readers and artists will be excited to see whatever you go with!
But what about the obscurer parts of canon?
Steve/Tony-centric fics set in any of the Marvel canon verses are welcome here! Even those set in more than one!
What if I go wild with an AU? Wild West? De-powered AU? Genderswap? Fairy Tales? Historical AU?
Canon does it all the time, so why shouldn’t you? We’ll be excited to see where your imagination takes you, we promise!
