Aww, I loved this. A lot of people still ignore the comic books so the non-screen characters don't get enough loving but you wrote them all really well.

Man, I do not blame people who ignore the comic books at all. Those things are a) freaking expensive and b) freaking confusing. I've comfortably settled into my nest of "things the DeFractions wrote" mode so I can kind of follow them, but for anything else, I just want to curl in a ball and cry because I have no idea what's going on. It's only thanks to a very helpful Tumblr post that I'm going to be able to read the Infinity series at all.

But thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Jess and Carol are MY FAVORITE (well, Natasha is my favorite, which was why she got more mentions than everybody else), so it was fun to play in this playground. :)

I'm not overly familiar with Captain Marvel or Spider-Woman, my rather limited knowledge of the Marvel Universe is from the movies. That said, I really enjoyed this fic -- there's enough detail about the characters that I don't feel like I was missing out by not having prior background info.

I do have to say, my favorite character in the fic is Chewie. I've had a couple of cats like him.

“Maybe he’s concerned you’re not eating enough.” -- LOL!

And my love for Clint did drop a smidge with the Roger Moore era Bond thing -- Sean Connery was a much better Bond ;)

My friends got me into reading the comics through the magic of cleverly-crafted gifsets on Tumblr. If you ever do turn to comics, I recommend the current Captain Marvel series going on. It's by Kelly Sue DeConnick, who I'm convinced has one of the greatest ears for dialogue that I've ever seen. Her husband, Matt Fraction, is writing the darling comic of the year, which is the Hawkeye that all of the Renner fans are obsessed with. (I like the Hawkeye comic, but the Captain Marvel series is superior because the Jess & Carol friendship)

I based Chewie, literally, off of cat videos I've seen and gifs on Tumblr. I've never had a cat, always kind of feared them really. My best friend had two cats growing up and I liked both of them, but I was never much attached to them. As I got older, I got to liking cats more, and I love Carol's interactions with Chewie in the comic books (at one point, Dr. Strange has spoken to Carol through Chewie).

Hahaha, Clint has horrible taste. I thought everybody knew this? ;)

I'm a little leary of comics mainly for the reasons you mention above. I've heard good things about Kelly Sue DeConnick and also about Matt Fraction's Hawkeye series. But my attention got grabbed by Clint/Natasha and that's pretty much where it's stayed. I might be interested if there were a recommended comic series that played more off the movies.

I grew up around cats, my family always had a couple of them. Some were better hunters than others and a couple of them did do the bring-the-live-catch-into-the-house thing. Luckily not with a snake, but we did have a cat that tried it -- she'd managed to bring a baby bunny into the house so we learned not to just open the door for her without checking! She got into a royal snit about not being let in with the snake too!
