I have decided to participate in
We Love the Women that Fandom Hates, which I found thanks to the inimitable
rubynye.
I claimed Gaila (which should also surprise no one). Because she's an example of how fandom can turn a bit character with a few lines into a major player in our writings, and how disparate fanon can cast her in so many lights.
So, starting on Friday, I'll be posting something every day related to Gaila, why she is awesome, why she matters, and why women in fandom matter.
