Women Love Fest: WE LOVE THE WOMEN THAT THE FANDOM HATES
Oh, fandom. *pets* Some bits of you are lovely. You do chromatic challenges that blow my mind, and I know that this isn't the first 'Rock on awesome female characters' fest, but it's the first one that's shown up on my f!list. So I am severely tempted to claim Coraline and ignore the Twitter analysis paper I'm supposed to be writing. OK, I don't *love* Coraline and she's done some pretty despicable stuff, but she's an interesting character who's been bashed beyond all reason by the fandom. Of course, I could be heavily biased because I love ep. 7 so much.
If anyone else is interested (which is going to be nobody on my microscopic f!list, but what the hell), more info at this link here: For all those awesome female characters who get slammed in fandom, post something about them every day for a week starting 09/09 to 16/09.
It can be meta, songs that remind you of them, fic, poetry, art, graphics, whatever. It's celebration. And doesn't necessarily have to be on LJ. Again, more info at the link.
I was also inconcievably sad to see Sam Carter on that list because WTF PEOPLE?!
