Always wanted my own acronym, and I.R.O.N. is only slightly cooler than T.O.N.Y. Greetings you lovely, lovely people you. As promised, I’m here to lay down a little classified intel. Let’s talk deadlines. Hate’em, allergic, can’t go near the things. But they’re a necessary evil in your world I hear. And it just so happens there are a few upcoming dates I’m sure you’d all like to be privy to. In my best impression of Coulson, I give you “Operation Agenda.”
Recruitment officially begins 10/4/2014: From 12:00 am until 11:59 pm Eastern Time you’ll send in your 35 word pitches for your completed and POLISHED manuscripts.
If you didn’t already know it, these guys are all about the rules. Their rules. Anything sent before the allotted time will be deleted unread. Whomp-whomp. But you’ve got a whole 24 hours to get your entry in, so don’t sweat it, and don’t jump the gun.
You’ll report for Basic Training on 10/6/2014: Same window, 12:00 am until 11:59 pm eastern, send out your first 250 words of the SAME completed and polished manuscript.
Told you, deadlines. I suspect this is where the H.E.L.M. squad captains, leaders, the people in charge of this banana boat will offer tips on what they think will play to your strengths, or how to bolster weaknesses. Left-right-left-right, all that jazz.
During Combat Drills is when you’ll get to impress them. On 10/9/14, you’ll submit your revised 35 word pitch AND first 250 words. This is what the Big Guns, the squad commanders, will see in order to make selections for the additions to their teams. Then the fun begins.
The chosen recruits will get to Suit Up! on 10/13/14 and join the rest of their squads to be presented to S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents.
That’s pretty much it, at least for now. Wish I had more to offer, but ever since my last romp through Fury’s files he’s tightened security. Thought I spotted something juicy about mutants earlier, though…I’ll have to double back when we’re finished here.
Speaking of, you didn’t see anything, you didn’t hear anything, and I was never here.
JARVIS, play me off.

Very good, Sir. And, if you could possibly bring yourself to resist the urge, I’d like to point out that there are infinitely more important matters I could attend to other than swapping out Agent Coulson’s ringtone for Peanut Butter Jelly Time. Just a thought.
Re-engaging H.E.L.M. communications parameters.
Signal termination commencing. Good evening to you all.
