Steve Rogers is not afraid of strong women.
Steve Rogers is not afraid of strong women.
Stop it with the fic where Steve is terrified of Natasha, or Maria, or Pepper, or guh, Darcy. I guess people think it’s cute, or whatever.
Seriously. Strong women don’t make Steve scared, they make him swoon.
The only thing Steve is afraid of is that strong women won’t like him.
Acting like Steve is afraid of women also ignores one of my favorite moments of the movies, where Steve isn’t sure if Clint can be trusted, but he looks to Natasha and it just takes one nod from her for Steve to be okay with it. He respects people who know what they’re doing, male or female.

Waking up to the news that Amazon is publishing fanfic:
Reading about the appalling terms and conditions that poor unsuspecting fanficcers will be agreeing to:
SERIOUSLY EVEN GOLD THINKS THIS IS A SHITTY DEAL:
When I think about the legal tangle of who exactly gets to license and profit from fanfic as “copyright holders”:

astolat: Amazon announces publishing platform for licensed fanfic
astolat asked:
“Rivka, do you know can people withdraw some/all of their stories from Amazon Worlds at any point? IE, are you allowed to leave once you’re in?”
It says “for the term of copyright,” though that is unenforceable unless these are works for hire (arguable, but unlikely). However, it is ok for Amazon to get an exclusive license for 35 years. So you can withdraw a story after 35 years.
Also, if you introduce a new character/plot element, Amazon claims an exclusive right to those too. So no free stories featuring those same characters/elements outside Amazon either (assuming they’re copyrightable, another thing about which one could argue in various ways) —unless they’re fair uses, of course.
Reblogging rivkat’s answer so more people see.
