Agent Carter fic rec

If you're craving post-finale fic (AREN'T WE ALL), here's a lovely long plotty one:

Training Exercises by sheron (11,200 words; canon pairings + gen friendships) - hard to summarize without spoiling the finale, but basically about SSR team building, recovery, and learning to trust each other again.

Full disclosure: I was a cheerleader/alpha reader on this fic, though my "help" mostly consisted of sending emails back to sheron in which I flailed a lot and made "write more!" noises and feelsdumped about Jack all over her inbox.

Agent Carter fic exchange

So, at the end of the first season last year, I talked a little about maybe running a fic exchange ... and then never did anything about it.

sheron and I talked a little more about it in email over the last couple of weeks before the finale. I was hesitating to commit to anything because I didn't know if the show would leave me wanting to ... but it did, it did, it really did. :D

Sheron suggested a Big Bang. I am leaning somewhat more towards an exchange because I think it would be a lot easier to get people to participate if the bar to entry was 1000 words rather than 5-10K, and it is really a tiny fandom. Also, I've never run an exchange on AO3 and I think it would be fun to try. (I may regret this deeply.) However, it might also be possible to try both, maybe staggering them so they're not both going at once. As far as I know, the only other exchanges that exist in the fandom at all are Peggy/Daniel-based and are fairly small.

So:

- Anyone want to talk to me about the relative merits of a fic exchange vs a Big Bang, or a good strategy for doing both without burning people out?

- Anyone have suggestions for an appropriate name for a fic exchange? I would like something with a 1940s kind of feel. There are at least two other events I know of, in different fandoms, that are called Spring Fling, or else I'd use that one (though I still might, if I can't think of anything better). Spring Social? Agent Carter Mixer? What are some 1940s-ish social events you can think of?
