#capimrecweek2020

Here we are, at the end of this year's Cap-IM rec week, with all the recs you’ve shared with us - and there are so many of them! Thanks very much to everyone who contributed their recs, and of course to all the fanworks that creators have shared with us in the first place so that we can have this event! Without further ado:

⭐Cap-IM Rec Week 2020 Masterpost⭐

We all love Steve and Tony, whether in happiness or tragedy, whether they're in high school or old men sitting on a porch, riding dinosaurs or flying through space. Canon arcs or movie endings can leave us feeling bereft and determined to create a "fix-it", or inspired to expand on what happened behind the scenes. Fanworks can range from canon divergent to being set in completely alternate universes! On What-If Wednesday, we'd like to know which non-canon-compliant fanworks you love — your favourite AUs, the perfect moment for canon divergence in your opinion — we welcome recs for fics, artwork, podfics, vids, manips, edits and more!

Note: Please mark major warnings for your recs, and let us know why you’re reccing a work.

The Annual Cap-Iron Man Rec Week is right around the corner, so it’s time to start getting your recommendations ready to share with the community!

For those new to Rec Week, each day of the week will have a post asking for fanwork recs based on a different theme. Recs can be for art, fic and other Steve/Tony (or Steve & Tony) fanworks of any kind, including meta. At the end of Rec Week we’ll create a giant masterlist of all the recs that were posted for everyone's reading and viewing enjoyment!

This year we are fitting our Rec Week themes to our nostalgic 2012 Fanwork Like it's 2012 Fest - recs can count towards fest fills if they fill a prompt!

So prepare your posts and keep an eye out for the first themed post on the 15th!

This year, we celebrated one year since Avengers: Endgame aired. It's been 8 years since the Avengers first assembled in the MCU, and by now there are certain themes, set-ups, costumes and songs that make us think "yes, that's a 2012 Stony fanwork!". But we don't always need to look back to older works to get a taste of that classic vibe - there are plenty of recent works that feel like the creator just dived right into 2012. On All-New Monday it is time to tell us about your new favorites - Steve/Tony fanworks that were posted recently but bear the hallmarks of a 2012 fanwork. We welcome recs for fics, artwork, podfics, vids, manips, edits and more! Note: Please mark major warnings for your recs, and let us know why you’re reccing a work. 2020 Rec Week Themes and Schedule

Today, we want to hear about your favourite canon moments and why you love Steve/Tony! Send through your most beloved gifs, the artist that made you fall in love with the pairing, the writer or fic that opened your eyes… Share the explainer or meta post that convinced you to ship Steve/Tony, or create a ship manifesto of your own! It's Tell-All Thursday, and we're looking forward to seeing what you have to say! We would also love to hear about your SteveTony highlights of 2012, if you were in the fandom back then.

We all have fanwork tropes that we come back to time and again, both as creators and as audiences — accidental marriage, "they were roommates!", soulmate AUs, "team building exercises", the Avengers as cute animals…

Sometimes we may apologise for using an "overdone trope", but really, there is no such thing! As fandom likes to say, the more cakes the better! Today on Tropey Tuesday it's time to embrace all the tropes that we love. Our community is very lucky to have such a large selection of fanworks to engage with, and now is the time to celebrate the works that contain some (or all, if it's an ambitious work) of your most beloved tropes!

It's been a busy week at Cap-IM, what with the Tiny Reverse Bang submission period starting, the ongoing writing period for the 2020 Big Bang and the continuation of Fanwork Like it's 2012's prompt filling period. Thank you to everyone who participated in rec week this year—we love to see you share the fanworks that you are enjoying. If you missed out on reccing for a certain day, or you've just remembered one of your all-time faves, never fear!

Reccing for all days will remain open until Wednesday, June 24th, has passed in all time zones.

We will then post a round-up of all the fanworks that were recced this year! While we especially encourage works produced in the last 12 months since Cap-IM rec week is an annual event, old favorites are welcome as well. Whether it's a classic fanvid you want to introduce new fans to, a podfic that you think deserves more attention, artwork that left you speechless… we're sure that other Steve/Tony fans want to know! We welcome your recs until the end of Wednesday, and you can spread the word by reblogging our Tumblr posts. We want a diverse and awesome rec list that reflects the talent of our community! If you posted a rec post on Tumblr on the day of a theme and it hasn't been reblogged by us, please DM cap_ironman or send through an email to [email protected] to let us know — some people's posts and blogs don't show up in the /tagged/capimrecweek feed!
