Meet The Team

This year the Awards are being run by a team of four, each with their own specialties. This hopefully means the running and participating will be smoother and the whole experience more fun.

The Team is comprised of...

JADEYS-WORLD!

@jadeys-world has been writing for over ten years, but only found Irondad in 2020 around the start of lockdown in the UK. Most of her stories are for the same series – To Be Worthy – which grew from a single 100k estimated piece to a monster of 500k words and still counting. Jadey is the nutter that organized the 2021 awards, and you cannot imagine how happy and relieved she is to have this team on her side for the 2022 running. She’s a woman-of-all-work when it comes to the awards, but you’ll mostly see her on Tumblr where she side runs the blog until nominations start and that’s when she’ll throw herself into work and ride the high of all the the Awards fun.

SUPERHEROTIGER!

Coming back for her second year of helping run the awards —she must be a glutton for punishment — is @superherotiger - SuperHeroTiger on AO3. She is an artist and writer of Irondad greatness for the past two years. She’s studying animation and her favorite thing to write is AUs. Superherotiger was a genuine superhero when it came to the 2021 awards as she saved Jadey from a complete meltdown over the sheer amount of work and approaching deadlines. This year we will be featuring her magnificent art, too.

ASYOULEFT!

 @asyouleft is a newbie to the Awards team, though she was nominated last year. She’s been a comics fan since she was a kid, and a Spider-Man fan since she learned to read — that’s what I call legacy. A longtime reader and lurker on AO3, she posted her first Irondad story under her penname kingdomfaraway in 2020. She’s a librarian — which is in my Top 10 Jobs to have — and she’s going to be in charge of double-checking everything to do with nominations and voting before anything is posted for you guys to read. She might have the toughest job when it comes to cleaning up after Jadey as she is known for making boo-boos and only got through last year because superherotiger checked up on her.

 IRON-MUM!

@iron-mum has been writing Irondad for about a year and a half. She loves reading and writing domestic chaos and hurt/comfort fics — don’t we all? Her AO3 username is IronMum. When she’s not taking care of the kiddos, she’s brushing up on her pattern design art skills — she’s our very own Cath Kidston— or writing. Iron-mum’s role in these awards is the one that had Jadey skipping around the room because we neeeeeed this help. Iron-Mum is skilled in data processing, so we’ll have professional data input this time around instead of Jadey’s cobbled together Word doc — which was pretty but not very easy to maneuver around.

Story Spotlight submission - "Only in the Present"

Thank you @thepreciousthing for the submission x

Title: "Only in the Present" by Mendeia (she doesn't have a Tumblr)

Summary:

"I leave to various future times, but not to all, my garden of forking paths."

Eleven-year-old Peter Parker's world is shattered when both his idol and his uncle are killed in the same week. Even while grieving, Peter strikes up a friendship with the local maintenance man, Tony, who shares Peter's love of science and technology - and who may be more than he lets on.

My thoughts:

The Iron Dad & Spider-son "Karate Kid AU," as she calls it, was my gateway drug to Irondad content. Featuring a fun spin on Undercover Tony, he and Peter are in each other's lives much, MUCH earlier and the whole world is better for it.

This story is like a warm hug on a cold, rainy day when you're wrapped in a blanket and holding a mug of hot chocolate. Through moments of tension, drama, and even mourning, there is always the knowledge that there's a light at the end of the tunnel where Peter and Tony can find comfort in each other. Tony gives Peter the hope & courage to survive bullies at a new school, while Peter and May teach Tony some long overdue lessons on healthy coping mechanisms & emotional growth. Eventually even Rhodey and Pepper get in on the action, and the story becomes Found Family at its Finest, with a promise of more to come.

I beta'd this fic for her, along with its four sequels. That's right, FOUR SEQUELS, and they're already written! The first story is complete on AO3, and the second one is in the progress of being posted, with new chapters uploaded every week.
