earth_616

This is a community that spawned from the Earth-616 Discord and its limitations when it comes to archiving/saveskeeping.

The purpose of this community is fill what Discord is lacking. That means collecting all Marvel comics resources, chronicling, and promptmeme. Yes, we got a Promptmeme!

For chatting with other fans, discussions, book club and more join Eearth-616 Discord (here)!

Your mods are: kiyaar, Tangeriner, Traincat, dawittiest and Sineala. By all means, go bother them on their personal journals (that was a joke. Leave all your general questions and concerns in the comments under this post).

THE RULES

1. Don't be an asshole! You'll be warned, then kicked. Threshold is very fucking low for racist/homophobic/ableist/sexist bullshit. This also applies to gatekeeping, bashing characters/ships and the like. Let’s keep this space nice and welcoming.

2. This is a space for adult fans. No one will ban you from reading the reclists and book club, but promptmeme is NSFW and Yellow Pages is meant for adults only.

3. No littering: please leave comments under appropriate posts. Unrelated comments will be deleted.

4. This community is not meant for longer discussions about comics. For that we have the Earth-616 Discord. Here’s a permanent invite.

5. Members can’t create new posts, but you can leave suggestions for anything you’d like to see or any changes to the community in the comments under this post.

Getting into Marvel Comics can be an intimidating endeavor. Especially when you don't have anyone to hold your hand and walk you through it (and better believe, you need it). There's so much history and it can be difficult to figure out where to start on your own. But don't worry - we got you!

Below is a list of comics reading guides, introductory posts, and recs, sorted by categories. The list will be updated periodically; leave us suggestions in the comments.

Yes, a comics-only, all-teams promptmeme is go!

Rules:

1. YKINMKATO. Similarly: don’t like a prompt/character/pairing? Don’t comment on it. It’s that simple.

2. Promptmeme is 18+. No exceptions.

3. Comics content ONLY. No MCU, MCU-fusion, or other cinematic universes.

4. No character bashing prompts. Play nice.

5. All types of prompts are welcome, including adult content and kink.

6. Multiple fills are always encouraged.

7. Fills can be anything – fics, art and everything else is great.

8. Promptmeme is not anon, but anons are welcome.

Regarding formatting:

1. Subject line should follow this format: Team/Pairing/Characters, keywords/kink/main idea. Be specific and to the point.

2. Subject lines should only be changed if you're posting a prompt or a fill. All fills should have [FILL] in the subject line.

3. Long fills can be posted over multiple comments, or posted on another site and linked back here.

4. Warnings are welcome but not mandatory. DW Blocker is a thing.

Have fun!

A calendar of all fandom events, fests, and more, related to Marvel comics. This will probably always be a work in progress, which is why we appreciate you leaving a comment if there’s an event you know about that isn’t mentioned here. As stated before, this is comics-centered, HOWEVER if there’s a Marvel event that welcomes comics content even if it’s not the focus, it will also go on the list. We might update you on what current events are in the future.

If you ever wished there was a space where you could contact other fans about selling/buying comics and merch, exchanging the comics you’ve read for new ones, fannish giveaways, con meetups, fandom endeavors, or anything related to that, this is the place. Leave an “ad” in the comments and state your business clearly in the title.

Caveats:

This is NOT an open forum to make those transactions. Do NOT answer the ads here. OP, leave the means to contact you and carry your business privately.

Related to that: do NOT leave links to your business sites/eBay accounts/etc. This is not a free advertising space or a SPAM folder.

This shouldn’t bear saying but in case: do not leave your real name here. Do not leave your home address, account number, details about your real-life whereabouts. This is a public forum for fandom. Any contact information you leave should be in a way of your fannish DW journal, tumblr blog, twitter etc. Be smart guys.
