RULES AND GUIDELINES

What are the guidelines for the bingo?

I will be borrowing some of this from the MYSU Valentine’s Day Bingo 2022 Guidelines, since they were fantastic.

1. Remember to @sambuckylibrary in the post as well as #tfatwsanniversary2024.

2. Make sure to give brief descriptions of the fics or podfics as well as their rating and wordcount.

For Commenters:

1. Any amount of comment counts, from a heart emoji (“❤️”) to an essay.

2. We would rather this be about what makes you happy and joyful about reading than any scathing critiques.

Things to be mindful of when creating:

For Sam

Avoid framing Sam only as a caretaker or emotional support for Bucky. Be mindful of Sam acting angry or aggressive in an out-of-character way and falling into the angry/sassy Black man trope (check out the MCU source material to help with character traits).

Avoid decentering Sam as a main character and refrain from focusing entirely on Bucky.

In art: avoid whitewashing Sam’s skin and research drawing Black characters.

General disclaimer: Race affects every aspect of his life, including interacting with police/government and the white structures of the world when it comes to performing his duties as Cap and simply being a Black man that lives in the U.S.

For Bucky

Avoid phrasing “flesh/normal/human hand” to refer to the contrast between his prosthetic arm and his right arm. The phrasing is ableist. You can simply refer to his prosthesis when relevant, otherwise use “right/left arm/hand”.

For more information, please check out this document suggested by @ninesdb on how to write Bucky as an amputee. @ninesdb is also open to questions if you have any queries not answered by the google doc.

Specific Tags:

Avoid tags in AO3 like “Sam Wilson is a Gift”, “Sam Wilson is a Saint”, and “Bucky Needs a Hug”.

Have fun and we look forward to your TFATWS Anniversary fics!

When you watch Mississippi Masala and decide Sam and Bucky need to talk on the phone like it’s the 90s

For Sambucky Halloween, I wrote a one-shot and had a getting-to-know-each-other convo in there because it pleased me. It’s here if you’d like to read. Otherwise, enjoy this lovely art by @diasdelasombra

a doodle based off a scene in my fic

[marbestos]

how do i draw so well you ask? well, i wanted to see my favorite characters suck face

[klecrone]

I’m thrilled to share a piece of art that @murkycrush created to accompany a scene from the latest chapter of my ongoing MCU fanfic! I loved the idea of Barnes having a quiet moment where the light catches in the seams of his vibranium hand, and it reminds him of the strange dreams he had of it glowing within the Dark Place. Murkycrush did a fantastic job bringing this scene to life, and I especially love how they approached the color palette in this piece. It’s so lovely, emotive, and packed with emotion!

Please do yourself a favor and check out murkycrush’s Twitter and Tumblr accounts to see more of their beautiful art! I love how much mood and emotion they put into their pieces, and it’s such a treat to include another piece of their art in this story!

Chapter 80: "Dark Adaptation" - (Read on Ao3) "Winter of the White Wolf"

Summary: While our ‘pack’ travels enroute to Symkaria, the contents of the missing journals offer more questions, and a secret comes to light…

[staying-elive]

Shout out to the Sam Wilson fans and Sambuckies out there. You guys have been putting out amazing stories and art for years and have been sustaining me in this contentless void since 2021, and I'll be no doubt relying on your talents in the extra whole year we now have before Cap 4 comes out. 😭

For real, you all are the best. Love youuuu 😘

While I was talking with @thatmexisaurusrex I was wondering about any new news about the steelbook set coz some people online have come out with some shots of some of the things that are coming with it (like someone took pics of some of the art postcards for example). I’m just naturally curious even if I don’t end up buying it and some of the pics of what the back looks like made me 👀 coz look at this blurb:

“The pair, who came together in the final moments of Avengers: Endgame” like did they have to phrase it like this? Are they referring to the looking at each other before Steve passes the shield to Sam as them “coming together”? And of all the phrases, they chose THAT?

Now I’m curious who is on their marketing and packaging team coz uh, ok, what a way to throw a bone to sambucky fans there lmao

If you don't mind the question, what are some of your favorite works on AO3? Because let me tell you, no joke, I check your account -at least- once a week to see if you're working on something new. Even if the SamBucky fandom got quiet after the series' end, I'm really glad you're one of the good ones still around <3

Hey, Anon! I'm actually glad you asked because it gives me an opportunity to share the links again😅 I always feel weird just randomly sharing my own works- which we should all do all of the time anyway-but you know....

Also, I assume you mean my own works? Lol.

So firstly, Ain't no Grave is a recent one which didn't do as well as I'd hoped. It has lovely art, too, and was an idea that I personally never read before so I was super excited about it. I had an absolute field day writing the story and discussing the art with Yav.

Another one that I'm super proud of is Kings of Everything. It's also a little different from the usual sambucky fic/au. I know I have at least 3 hardcore fans for this story, lol.

Neverending is another one I love so much. Loved what I did with it in so little words, loved how it turned out. Still a fav.

My most recent one, The First Gentleman is also a huge fav of mine and I'm so glad I bit the bullet and started it because I sat on it for so long wondering if it would be worth it. Had so much fun with it!

And then Lighthouse. This was my first very long sambucky au, and it explores some really difficult subjects. Initially, I was so afraid of writing something a little darker, but people really liked this. So yeah, I'm very fond of it.

As for new things I'm working on: I'm taking a small break from writing right now. I do feel like writing, I'm not burned out or anything, just giving the word pit some time to refill, and awaiting some fresh bts footage as inspo since they've started filming 👀

BUT I am actually amped to start some Sam/Joaquín fics because we know the dynamic is fire! I am also very eager to start the prequel to Kings, mentioned above, I've got the outline ready, and I think for me and those 3 fans, it's gonna be a real treat!

Thanks for the ask allowing me to blabber about my fics!
