Via [livejournal.com profile] be_compromised: Heroes & Heartbreakers posted a decent-sized excerpt from "Breakout", a New Avengers prose novel about Hawkeye and Black Widow's backstory (yay) which seems to blend movie and comicsverse.

Okay, I'm of course wary of tie-ins/profic because I've read my share of awful ones (Oh Buffy. Oh X-Files! Oh!) But OTOH I've also read a number of good, even brilliant ones.

I only skimmed the first two chapters but I liked what I read, so I pre-ordered it. Fingers crossed. Hardcover, putting a bit of a strain on my budget as I'm on sabbatical and not supposed to throw my money around. But apart from really wanting to read the thing, I also wanna do my part in sending a signal to TPTB that there is an audience for Black Widow and Hawkeye out there. We exist, yo! (Still bitter they packpedaled on that movie.)

I just read that AO3 is going to reopen invite requests; members will be able to request up to 10 invite codes.
