Hey everyone!
I'd just like to let you all know that there is challenge going on - the Minor Character Fic Fest!

I was playing through Marvel vs Capcom 3 and I realized that Daredevil isn't on the roster. As far as I know, the LEGO games and Marvel: Contest of Champions are the only (modern) games that Matt has appeared in. I'm sure there were knock offs during the 80s but that bit of videogame history has always been a blank spot for me.
Games are hard to make and Daredevil has always been a niche character so I can understand why he hasn't appeared many times before. I think that the blindness also plays into it a little bit - videogames are a sighted medium by nature and there would be a lot of obstacles in making Matt a playable protagonist, not least of all being just how the heck you portray the surrounding world for a blind character. Do you make it a typical medium and just have Matt react as he should when confronted with say, a photograph? Or do you create a game based off his sonar abilities?
This is mostly inspired by this article about Perception, a horror game where the PC is blind and the player navigates by using cane taps for echolocation. Naturally, there are supernatural forces that are trying to kill her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_1zUXv5l7M
The game itself looks amazing and really inventive and something Matt could star in. I kind of wonder what the meme thinks?

Since there's been a lot of talk about Ben Urich and how he doesn't get enough attention in fandom, I want to ask about his generically dying wife. That was one of the more baffling subplots to me, in terms of writers putting it in there for character reasons but not really understanding what they were writing with.
(1) What was she sick with? Obviously dementia (like alzheimers) but a pretty early stage of said dementia, because she could recognize him and have whole conversations that acknowledged shared experiences in their past and what was going on in their present. So that clearly wasn't the ONLY problem, because she was in a hospital on an IV, and she was basically bedridden. With dementia that's a very late stage event, and even then it happens in long-term care facilities specifically for it, where the person has lost most of their cognitive functions and are more or less unresponsive to the world around them except in simple ways. Did she have cancer? Or something else that needed hospitalization levels of treatment?
(2) What was that business with the insurance lady at the hospital? Basically what I saw was, Ben wanted her to stay in the hospital, the insurance company did not want to pay for it, and he could sweet talk the administrator into helping him. My experience in hospitals is (a) you only get to stay in one if you're sick enough to need its services, otherwise you're moved to rehab or a long-term care facility, and (b) the hospital administration isn't responsible for the decision as to whether you stay or leave except when it comes to making medical decisions as to the required level of care. They don't help you more out of the kindness of their hearts - they do what's best for the patient, period, more or less. Like, I was once in a hospital and my roommate had been given a five-day stay for her procedure by insurance, but at the end of the 5 days she was still pretty sick, so the doctor and nurses came in to document how sick she was so insurance would approve another day. It was a lot of hassle, but it wasn't like they weren't going to try to help their patient get past an evil insurance company.
(3) Ben's editor would have absolutely no way of helping out with Ben's company insurance plan by making some phone calls.
(4) Ben was considering moving her to an expensive facility, which insurance could opt not to pay for - or only pay for some of, since she was obviously sick, needing to be an IV and all - but his list of options in those pamphlets was WAY too different. Assisted living is for people who are a level below nursing home, with different levels of independence (my grandmother has full-time aids and is on oxygen, but there are people there who don't have aids and are allowed to drive cars). A nursing home is about the level you're at if you need a full-time IV, with nurses on staff.
Hospice is if you're close to death and you've decided to cease serious medical care (aside from pain management). It can be done at home, for people who are terminally ill and want to die at home, or it can be done in a hospice facility, where it is assumed that you will die there, but when you choose hospice you are basically saying "I am at the end of my life. I am not expected to be cured or even really treated. I just don't want to be in pain." For example, if you have cancer, and you're receiving chemo and radiation, hospice is for when you decide to not attempt to treat your cancer anymore (or the doctors say there is no reason to continue treatment, and you decide you don't want to die in a hospital). So choosing hospice is a major life decision, were you basically say, "I am going to die, this is how I am choosing to do it."
Someone wouldn't be looking at assisted living, nursing homes, and hospice all at the same time. If he's saying his wife is in the hospital because she needs treatment to get better, then she needs that, or a long-term care center.
I think the writers just hoped being vague about it would make it okay, and make us sad, because his dying wife and all, and we would feel bad for him, and therefore we would care about him. I really wish they hadn't gone this route, and made us care about him some other way, or at least done the requisite research for her specific condition.

this is a very insignificant thing to be wondering but that's not gonna stop me.
re: matt sitting on the bench by the church in episode three (or four, my memory is unideal) was he just sitting on a bench or do you think he might have been listening into the service?? (or was he just being contemplative in front of his church to add to his the-devil-is-in-me angst)
(i could just be reading too far into this, i've been re-watching the series + this is what happens)

When you're reading an english fanfiction and theres a character who speaks a language other than english & they have a log of dialogue or are a major character how do you prefer their non-english dialogue to be represented?
Do you prefer the dialogue to be written in the actual language that they are speaking (with subtitles provided at the writers discretion)?
Or do you prefer the dialogue to be written in english with some form of punctuation used to indicate that they are not speaking english?
thank you!

I've just written like four pages of meta about Matt/Steve in an Alpha/Beta/Omega universe. I just wanted to write about Matt getting pregnant and going to one of those expecting parent yoga classes, then I caught the feels.
Does anyone know where the fic about Daredevil waking up in Avengers medical and panicking when he realised that Foggy must have seen him getting hurt in TV?
This is probably seems pretty out of left field. I was thinking of that medical open Q&A thread a few pages back (I'll fine it again... maybe) but realized that this question is a little broader than that.
I have a character who has had a tracking chip implanted into them and needs to get it out ASAP with very basic first aid supplies. And I have so many questions.
1.) If they don't know where the tracking chip is but have a very good understanding of electronics (which I do not) could they cannibalize some house hold electronics to detect where exactly the tracker is.
2.) What's the best way to remove it, what tools would be best to have on hand? Would a paring knife, box cutter, or exacto knife be more ideal? Would stitches be needed? If so what's the best substitute for those?
3.) What's the best way to disinfect these tools before use? Would soaking them in a bowl of rubbing alcohol be okay, or like, maybe sending them through the dish washer? IDK.
4.) How bloody would this whole mess be?
Okay, those are my questions, mostly medical but not completely.

so i've loved the netflix daredevil since the moment i watched it, but i've never seen the (apparently truly stunning) 2003 movie. i want to watch it (mostly for the purposes of making fun of it) but i don't really want to do it alone.
So: who would be up for a group livestream? one person hosts and then a bunch of us can watch and make irreverent comments. it'll be great.
i don't really have any clear details worked out yet (date, time, who's gonna host because i've only ever used joinme, etc) but i just think this would be a fun thing to do.

[Avenger Body Swap] + [Shame on…you?] + [Daredevil’s resentment] = A fic where Matt is frosty toward the Avengers for not (visibly) helping Hell’s Kitchen and the Avengers are frosty toward Matt for pretending to be disabled out of costume. They get into a massive body swap mix up and it’s revealed that Matt really is blind! The Avengers apologize. Matt didn’t know this was why they were cold to him. He at some point reveals he’s upset that they didn’t help the clean up of the city. Each tells them about they roll they had in it, Steve and Clint volunteering, Tony donating a large sum of money anonymously and having his own repair group under his employ so they don’t embezzle (under Pepper Pott’s name), Bruce running a blood drive and getting EMT credentials so he can go out and help, so on. Everything is better and the team!
[Santino knows who the Devil is]
[Claire and Matt take care of Santino]
[Karen as a teenage runaway in NY] I don't know what I'm going to do with this one but I like it. I thought maybe I could fit some black widow stuff in there, since I love me my black widow! Karen. I could also work it into my Clinic Hours set up and have Claire helping Karen. So much to do. But where did all the motivation to do it go?
[Negotiating a poly relationship] Another “Everyone is Poly”. This is one I've mostly forgotten about until going through my list. But it could be fun.
[The Avengers meet Daredevil, Daredevil is trans]
[Karen is Daredevil (sorta role reversal everyone AU)] - figuring out the logistics of this has been head ache inducing.
[Trans!Karen, coming out] - writing coming out fics is always hard for me. I am painfully aware of the fact that they can be fucked up but I'm not sure how I could fuck it up. I'll probably just give a mini fill because more is hard. UGH.
[Karen, survivor’s guilt]
[accidental vigilante nurse Claire Temple] - This, again, meshes with my head cannon of Claire having a little Clinic for all the people who can't afford to go to the doctor when their kids cough doesn't go away.
[Claire/Matt or Claire & Matt, D/s AU] - D/s AUs are my favorite. I want to write one.
[Foggy Karen and Darcy team up] - What more could I ask for in a prompt?
[Non explicit Sam/Claire] - I have two different set ups for how this could go and I want to write both.

What would a person who doesn't know any martial arts or similar have with them to defend themselves in an emergency in the US (or if there are legal differences between states NY)? Is pepper spray common? I just googled but the exact legal details are confusing. Can everybody get it anywhere or are there restrictions?
Is there other stuff people might have? I have a keychain thing that makes a loud screeching nose if you pull a button (I think it's more for alerting others and possibly confusing the attacker long enough to run away) are those common in the US? Something else?

To be blunt, Matt can likely smell periods (though whether he knows it or is just like 'doot doot doot I had terrible sex ed, gosh I wonder why some people smell like old blood sometimes')
Im wondering about how the menstrual product used affects this. At a standard nose-crotch distance* with no variables like leaks or standing next to a perfume store, I assume he could smell a pad, but probably not a cup. I'd like your opinions on tampons.
Would their location inside the body bamboozle his super senses, or is mere cotton no match for our hero's olfactory abilities?
*I can't believe that's actually a phrase I used
TL;DR: Tampons. Detecting. Can he. Why did this turn out so long and weird

Okay, so I have this crazy infatuation with MomentumDeferred's fanfic "Sunshine" (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4217547). Cause, I don't know, maybe it's the post-apocalyptic setting that I have a thing for, or maybe it's because both Matt and Foggy are so damn perfectly captured, or maybe it's also because everything is beyond fucked up but still so intensely captivating in that universe. Or all of the above.
But just reading it wasn't good enough for me, I had to go and make fanart for it because my mind just wouldn't leave it alone until I'd proven that it was doable. Thus I just want to share, because maybe some of you would like to see it.

And now I shall go back to my little geek corner, and dream of aliens and ferals and green skies.

Somebody tell me I need to step back from the computer because I have obviously delusions of grandeur. I am currently working on two things: the 'Foggy is a wizard' prompt and the 'Foggy gets kidnapped by a serial killer and saves himself' prompt. I am not quite sure what I have gotten myself into.
Random observations about the wizard prompt:
I am writing the thing from Matt's POV. Also because of the above mentioned delusions I have decided to turn this into something really large that at one point features a magic battle. Yes I will have to write a magic battle as May would sense it. What could possibly go wrong? Not that I need to worry about this already because currently I'm rewriting Nelson vs. Murdock with 'what if both had a large secret?' Which brings up so many questions. So many.
The problem with the serial killer prompt is that a) I have started writing but still have only very vague ideas about what exactly will happen. That is less than ideal considering this prompt requires quite an amount of actual plot. Also I have already 800 words that are just 'Foggy wakes up and wonders what the hell happened' and idk no matter how exactly I end up writing this there will probably be a lot 'Foggy. Thinking' and that's something I always find hard to write. Dialogue is fine. Characters doing things as well. But just characters thinking is much harder. I always worry that it's really boring and... coherent thoughts are hard.

I've been playing around with some daredevil fandom stats in the past, I scraped all the data for the first prompt of the kinkmeme a long, long time ago. (Like when it was just two prompt posts.)
And there is a lot of interesting stuff I and anyone else interested in fandom stats could do with that data but collected over a longer period of time. It's just that that first day, scraping 1,000 prompts took all day long. (That's only a little bit of an exaggeration.)
And now there are 5+ kinkmeme prompt pages.
I was thinking, I'd make a spread sheet for the information I want to collect, and then assign anyone interested in helping me a prompt post and page numbers within those prompt posts to fill.
The work load right now looks like this:
Number of pages in each:
Prompt 1 39
Prompt 2 31
Prompt 3 26
Prompt 4 24
Prompt 5 31
That's 151 prompts pages (when I guessed on my tumblr I guessed 150. For a total between 3650 prompts and 3775 prompts on the kinkmeme. Since each page has a maximum 25 prompts in it.)
Anyone anyone willing to do this with me would be a huge help.
But to give some perspective, if I had 30 people working on this, they would each read through and take notes on 5 pages (125 prompts) which would take less than two hours. It could be done in a day
If, when I had this all sorted out, and people got back to me within a week, it would be done in that time.
If fifteen people were willing to work with me for two hours a day once a week for two weeks it would be done in a half a month. Which is about how long it would take me working my ass off almost every single day in that time span.
And so on, and so forth.
Five people, doing five pages a week would take 6 weeks. (And, actually, since I would be one of those people, I'd only need four others willing to help.)
So, again, this is just my outline for how much work is involved. If anyone is interested in helping I would feel comfortable assigning a minimum of one page (25 prompts).
What this means for anyone helping is they get to reread a random part of the kinkmeme that they maybe haven't seen or don't remember well. I remember the last time I did this I discovered tones of knew prompts that I missed the first time I read through the kinkmeme.
And, for reference, here is some of the data I am collecting. I absolutely want: data posted, main pairing, secondary parining(s)*, other mentioned pairings**,
I would be intrested to look at what gets filled: has it been filled? What is the word count of the fill? What pairing(s) from the original prompt does the fill use.
Also: is it a cross over? (if so, with what?) is a character disabled who isn't normally? is it RPF? is it asking for a polly pairing or is it open to one?
*This is like Matt/Foggy preferred by Matt & Foggy fine.
** This is where the prompts talks about say, Karen/Claire but also mentions that Matt/Foggy is a thing in the background.

I know there is a special beta reader section to this thread, but it seems a little dead, and I haven't gotten a reply over there. So, hopefully it will be ok if I post here.
I'm in need of a beta reader. I've written fanfic in the past for various fandoms, but its been a few years. This is my first attempt at writing Daredevil (TV) verse. It's only a ficlet, about 700 words. Grammar and characterization help would be awesome, but any degree of help would be much appreciated.
Shoot me an email at mitchpell@yahoo.com, or leave me a message here, if you're interested.
Thanks! :D
P.S. Mods, if you really don't want this here, I'll understand if you delete it! :D

Shoot me an email at mitchpell@yahoo.com, or leave me a message here, if you're interested.
Thanks! :D
P.S. Mods, if you really don't want this here, I'll understand if you delete it! :D
It's likely from a good few rounds back now, but all I remember it asked for Karen as some sort of heavenly representative, Foggy as some sort of demon, with Matt in the middle. Or conversely it may have just had demon Foggy and I've got confused with the rest.
Can anyone help?

that one from a million years ago where foggy is an incubus/succubus?
So I'm getting back into writing, written up a few small fics recently, but I'm going for a long fic now, this prompt to be specific -- http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/725.html?thread=153557#cmt153557.
I just can't decide whether or not to add in relationships beyond fisk/vanessa. I know if I put it in, it wouldn't be a very large part. At most it'd probably end up being nice fluffy stuff to read and give the more intense scenes later on more impact. I get the feeling that it's not necessary, but I also feel like I need to put it in for some reason.
But I don't know. Any thoughts?

Truly off-topic thread! What are the books in your lives right now?
I recently read The Magicians by Lev Grossman.

Has anyone non-catholic ever been inside a catholic church or attended a catholic mass? what were your first impressions of the space, etc. was there anything that jumped out at you as being curious and/or weird?
Would you like to see any of the daredevil characters in other comics?
(Anonymous) 2015-08-19 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)Crossovers are my favourite things ever, so I was just wondering, what sort of crossovers would folks be interested in the hypothetical universe where all is possible?
This doesn't have to just be Marvel and DC (although I'd pay to see Matt and John Constantine together) - I for one would love to see Karen and Claire as members of the Rat Queens (Foggy as Orc Dave!) or Matt as Hellboy just for the giggles.

Okay. So. I'm planning on including a scene in my fic where Karen confesses to murdering Wesley to Foggy.
And... I'd kind of like for Foggy's brain to try to gloss over the shock of hearing that a friend has just murdered someone and kind of revery to Defence Law mode.
My question is, for anyone familiar with this type of law, is there specific classes defence lawyers receive in school that train them for how to deal with this kind of thing? Like: how to act professional in the face of your client disclosing really awful things to you? y/n?

Once upon a time, it was common practice to tightly wrap someone's chest to "stabilize" rib fractures. This fell out of fashion well over a decade ago because it could lead to a number of serious complications including collapsed lung, pneumonia, and tissue death.
The ways wrapping contributes to further injury are two-fold: a wrap can actually push rib fragments into the chest cavity, causing trauma to the lungs or other structures, and the wrap constricts breathing. When you don't take full breaths, mucous and moisture can build up in the unused lung tissue leading to pneumonia and/or tissue death. Uncomplicated, "simple" rib fractures are treated with ice, pain meds, and limited activity. Complicated, or displaced rib fractures generally require surgery to repair the rib with internal fixation (pinning or plating).
If anyone has any questions about emergency medical care, I've worked for 20 years in veterinary medicine, mostly in specialty practice/emergency and critical care, which is very similar to its human counterpart. I've treated injuries as diverse as gunshot/knife/arrow/machete/spear wounds, venomous snake bites, other animal bites, massive multiple trauma (hit by car, long falls, etc - even a hit by train), burns of varying degree and cover, smoke inhalation, toxic ingestion, drug OD, electric shock, drowning... almost any sort of emergency you could think of.
I am also certified in human CPR, first aid, & wilderness first aid, with additional training specific to natural disasters and similar large-scale emergencies.
