Pod_Together Spotlight: geeks will geek (and Tony Stark will create reasons for them to)

geeks will geek (and Tony Stark will create reasons for them to) (Avengers) written by [archiveofourown.org profile] flyingthesky and performed by [archiveofourown.org profile] canadasuperhero | 1730 words | 0:14:15

Summary:

Drunken app coding. Marshmallow machine guns. Great Lakes shipping mishaps. Many many people yelling Tony's name.

It's pretty much a regular day at the ThinkGeek offices.


Or, the one in which the Avengers are employees at ThinkGeek.

One of the best things about this fanwork is the way that the music is an integral part of the story. It sets the mood and tone for each section, but mostly, it's what Tony has blasting in his workshop at any given moment.

This is a geeky and funny twist on the Avengers, with Tony as the CEO of ThinkGeek, who just wants to be left alone to build his toys, while his talented staff work hard at shooting each other with marshmallow machine guns and Nerf dart-guns.

I was impressed with the way [archiveofourown.org profile] canadasuperhero managed to create extremely subtle character voices - the way she voiced Pepper was spot on - that made listening to this wacky fanwork so enjoyable.

I loved Tony's creations (Schrödinger's Cat app FTW) and all the other little quirks that [archiveofourown.org profile] flyingthesky infused the fanwork with.

The pacing is perfect, the music works, and the sound levels are clear. The fanwork was a lot of fun to experience

Even if you aren't in the Avengers (or ThinkGeek) fandom, this is still an excellent fanwork to experience. Go check it out, and remember to leave feedback for the creators - they worked hard on creating this project.

And, see? This is exactly why these spotlights are so great! I totes missed this fanwork back during its original posting date. It sounds like I'm in for a treat. :D!
