Day Twenty-Eight: Favorite female writer (television, books, movies, etc.)

There are some female tv writers I like a lot. Ali Adler, for example. She has written some of the best episodes of Chuck including "Chuck Versus The Truth," "Chuck Versus The Best Friend," and "Chuck Versus The Ring." The show wasn't the same when she left, in my opinion. Sadly, she's stuck on Glee now, where, imo, her work does not flourish.

Of course, there's also Jane Espenson who wrote many great Buffy episodes, including my favorite, "Earshot." She also wrote for other shows I love such as Battlestar Galactica and Warehouse 13. Actually, she's one of the creators of W13. She wrote "Shindig," one of my favorite Firefly episodes. She wrote an episode of The OC, too: "The Gamble." The clip I shared when I chose Kirsten Cohen as favorite mom is from her episode. There's so much more she has written that I haven't seen, too. Basically, she is awesome.

There's my favorite Charmed writer, Krista Vernoff. She wrote episodes such as "Coyote Piper," "Hell Hath No Fury," and "Long Live the Queen." She was, in my opinion, the writer who understood and wrote Piper best. She also wrote many Wonderfalls episodes. Now she writes for shows like Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. Ugh. Too bad her writing isn't used for better shows.

I also like Amy Berg, who has written for Leverage and now for Eureka. I've seen enough of her Eureka work so far to know it's good stuff.

I'm also a fan of female authors such as Amy Tan. The Joy Luck Club is my favorite book ever. Harper Lee can be mentioned here, too. To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the greatest books ever written. Both were adapted into pretty decent movies as well.


Day Twenty-Nine: A female-centric fic rec

I'm not a big fic reader, to be honest, so I don't really know what's out there or who writes what. So I can't really answer this one. I'd say to check out havocthecat's recommendations. Also tinylegacies knows where good fic is, I'm sure.

chuck, leverage, btvs, battlestar galactica, joy luck club, firefly, wonderfalls, charmed, the oc, meme, eureka, warehouse 13, to kill a mockingbird
