ADDITIONAL NOTES:


Civil War trope? Tony gathers together a group of people to complain about Bucky having been hired. Natasha joins for kicks. Steve gathers a group of people to support Bucky having been hired. Lots of pranks happen. Bucky is mostly confused, and almost wishing he'd stayed at his previous school, which had oppressive policies and was a total shit bucket, but at least it didn't include, you know, literal shit buckets (apparently, it was fertilizer, but ew). Above his door. Major safety hazard, people.

Wrong Number trope? Bucky is a newly-hired professor and keeps on screwing up the extensions. He dials people and reaches other people, he dials other people to apologise for calling them by accident and ends up dialing other other people, and it's just all terrible. On the bright side, he's now on first-name bases with professors from all kinds of fields, and Steve Rogers from the Visual Arts department keeps on stopping by his office with coffee. And scones. ...And dinner. Okay.

Pre-Meeting Discourse

roguemariel has weird midterms. Everyone should know how to use i.e. and e.g. Shame on humanity.

Wait, how do we begin the meeting, anyway? New fandom, new rules!

To begin the meeting: "Avengers Assemble!"
To end the meeting: "Next order of business is the Disciplinary Committee."

The meeting begins!

-Florists
-Discussion of other fics
-Dognapping! Also, refrigerators...
-Hair! And then no hair!
-Discussing awkward bits we don't like in fics
-Also discussion awkward bits we do like in fics
-Snapchat & Tumblr & Twitter
-Review of quiz results -- we all passed!
-Spiderman in CA

Guys!

-We should write fics on Saturdays during meetings (for maybe 30 minutes)!
-thetyro voted yes. Suck it, roguemariel.

roguemariel apparently really likes Flight of the Conchords.

-She is buying tickets, maybe.
-If she can find someone to go with.
-She is a terrible person, so this isn't likely.

Further off-topic Highlights!

-No insults unless you share your food!
-How did we all meet?
-We are a cult

-We have our own code words with changed meanings (i.e. an inner language)
-We have our own rituals that have special meaning

-Family and friends nonsense.

-roguemariel may have a job!

Writing Challenge!

-...Then we start talking about phnx's birthday.
-Time zones?

Meeting ends according to new tradition.

-We always do things spontaneously and then claim it's a tradition. Is that also a characteristic of a cult?
