I've been working on setting up a Tumblr to celebrate great female fictional characters of the last 2 decades (it's here but it's empty right now; I hope to start posting stuff - 5 a day - later this week, and opening submissions once I'm down to the last 50 ( Read more... )

Zoe from Firefly.

Thanks! :D

I also thought of Bridget Jones and Tiffany Aching (Terry Pratchett's books). And Marianne form Pinhoe Egg by Diana Wynne Jones.

And I started watching B5 yesterday but you probably have Ivanova on your list already. :D

Oh, and Lisbeth Salander.

oh man. i might get hate for it, but i'm going to nominate blair waldorf from "gossip girl." more as i think of them.

furiosity March 29 2011, 17:37:23 UTC

Added, and no worries -- I'm not sure who that is, but if it's a negative-coded character, that's totally cool. My list has, among others, Peyton Flanders from The Hand That Rocks the Cradle on it, not because I aspire to be like her, but because I found her a brilliant fucking character.

Blair \o/ she is awesome.

teaberryblue March 29 2011, 17:51:12 UTC

This is awesome! I included a few that overlapped into time before 1991, but only if they were included in books/comics/tv shows that were produced into and/or past 1991. I might come up with more later ( ... )

furiosity March 29 2011, 18:39:49 UTC

This is brilliant, thank you so much!!! The only overlaps with mine are Katniss, Olivia, Sun, and Lisa Simpson. :D (ALSO HOW DID I FORGET JULIET WTF)

teaberryblue March 29 2011, 18:45:34 UTC

EVERYONE FORGETS JULIET THAT IS JUST HOW IT IS.

And excellent! You're welcome; I'm glad it helps. It sounds like a really amazing idea. I'll try to think of more if I have time later!

I think Callie's last name is Torres, not Burrows.

I know this one is totally obvious but I'll say it anyway: Buffy. Every girl, a slayer. cue teary-eyed grimace, I'm such a sap Also: Faith. Also: Anya Jenkins. Also: Illyria. All from Buffy and Angel tv shows, by Joss Whedon.

Ripley clone number 8 from Alien resurrection (1997, if memory serves).

Will think more about this.

Thank you! ♥ I had a bunch of Buffy people on the list already but not Illyria (I've never watched Angel).

Ehehe, I was trying to figure out how to get Ripley on there, thanks. :3
