Wikipedia is God

[elspethdixon]

I love when wikipedia provides the perfect answer to a fic question. For RR&R, it was discovering Senator Dickstein, one of the founders of the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC, real life inspiration for HUSAC) who was found years later to have been secretly taking bribes from the Soviets. For current fic-in-progress, wikipedia just found us a real-life chemical warfare drug that causes nearly all the symptoms we want AIM's "fear toxin" to induce, and the best known antidote has side effects that essentially set up fic-after-next-fic's subplot, just as an unlooked-for bonus.

Now we just need to find a way to have Steve and Tony dance together in public, wearing tuxedoes, in something we write. Because it would be the most romantical thing ever.

OMG! Stop teasing me! I swear! I go crazy whenever I hear you guys are working on a fic or are nearly done with one or are going to post one soon!

That's really awesome that it's all falling into place details-wise! I love it when the internet is helpful in something other then procuring porn.

::sees Tony and Steve in tuxs dancing and goes all melty::

It's going to be at least another month, because first we have to finish it (it's about 2/3rds done now), and then we have to get it beta-ed, and harmonyangel's going to be too busy with her thesis to even ask about betaing until after April 8th when she turns it in (and we'd like to have her beta as well as tavella because they both were our betas for RR&R).

::bounces up and down with joy::

you mean your new fic will coincide with the Iron Man movie??

:O I'm so happy ^______^
