X-men 10 Year Anniversary

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

Forgive me since this is a little similar to a post I did a few months ago…

I first became a fan of X-men 10 years ago and I’ve really been wanting to do something to mark this milestone. I mean, this is a major anniversary and I still love X-men as much as I did 10 years ago when I dragged my friend nytshd3 to see the movie with me again for the 4th time. (The movie is what got me into it, but now I like XTAS the best of all forms of X-men.)

Here’s the problem – I can’t figure out how to celebrate it. None of my friends in real life are into X-men. Well, nytshd3 is kinda but there are limits to even her patience and I can’t see a point in having, say, an X-men themed party or viewing of XTAS or the movies if I’m the only one who’s into it. I need to be able to celebrate in cyberspace. And I need ideas.

So, does anyone have any ideas? The only one I have off the top of my head is: ask people for X-men fanfic recommendations, take a day off work so I can read most of the recs, and post a link to my own fanfics. I can also try to write a short one but anyone who knows me know that fics I write tend to be lengthy (and my life is so busy now that I can’t commit to writing a longer fic now). Any other ideas on how to celebrate online?

I like the movies too. I just regard them as an AU from the canon. And one thing I love about them are the costumes - seriously. I don't care for the outfits in XTAS (in fact, I'd even go so far as to say that the X-men look like dorks in XTAS), so I feel the team looks better in the movies.

Yes, that is how I think of them too. and the costumes were completely awesome!

I never payed attention to the costumes in XTAS when I was a kid and now watching them, my thoughts were like "wow, you can definitely tell this was the 90s!" all that yellow spandex. XD

Although I gotta say that regardless of what decade it was made in, most of the X-men in XTAS are dressed like dorks.
