We Love the Women That the Fandom Hates (spreading the word)

[puella_nerdii]

I think I saw this advertised in game_thrones yesterday, though it took me until now to get off my butt and sign up for it.

We Love the Women That the Fandom Hates is what it sounds like: a celebration of female characters who come in for their undue share of fannish vitriol

...This looks fascinating oh my goodness. Thank you for pimping this out!

/Stares at female Rome cast and has all of the indecision.

[puella_nerdii]

I think you can make multiple claims~~~

[megkips]

....that. That really helps with nothing. At all.

but I think I've got it down to two.

[puella_nerdii]

Do you actually expect me to be helpful I mean really

Two isn't such a bad number!

[megkips]

You know that's a really good point you're kind of doing my job as Bad Decision Dinosaur for once

No, not really. Plus it's kind of a nice case of contrast of perception with patrician woman/pleb and their respective perception.

[puella_nerdii]

Many, many things are my fault. I own this.

Totally! And you can get lots of fascinating mileage out of that! I believe in youuuuuu~

[megkips]

Are we going to have to have a bad decisions-off? Because I think we are.

oh god now you've just put my tumblr on notice to be more awesome/LESS STUPID

[puella_nerdii]

Your move.

Meg, dear, my tumblr is full of porn gifs and silly memes, you have nothing to worry about

[megkips]

Ten bucks says I can get pinstripesuit to do this before you do.

I really hope you like assassins there's a lot of those and also dumb things my father is yelling at the TV or his new iPad which.

i still don't know why he has one and it scares me

[puella_nerdii]

She has an even more extensive track record of this sort of behavior than I do, I think.

...sometimes older people and technology do not mix.

[megkips]

That's why I take a certain pleasure in getting her to do terrible things instead of doing terrible things for her. Which is often.

Nine times out of ten, having dad knowing tech is good. This, along with him IMing me from across the room are the only times I've been deeply confused and mildly terrified.

[puella_nerdii]

I am amused by how many of your posts are either "I blame megkips" or "I blame pinstripesuit."

Oh god parents should never use IM.

[megkips]

It is honestly terrifying and crap, I owe her fic come to think of it. Again.

My mother is so much worse SHE JUST WRITES ENTIRE PARAGRAPHS IN THE BOX WITH NO DIFFERENTIATION OF LINES BETWEEN THEM. Dad and I just send each other .gifs

[puella_nerdii]

Better get cracking~

oh god I haaaaaaate those. Haaaaaaate. I've had bosses who've done that. And bosses who use more exclamation points than anyone ever needs to use ever. But I approve of gif-sharing.

[megkips]

20s AssCreed AU is actually something I only pretend to hate writing. Because SUITS.

Oh god the exclamation point thing drives me batty. GUYS. ONE IS OKAY TOO.

Side effect of .gif sharing: dad wants to make a tumblr.

[puella_nerdii]

Suits: a good justification for many many things.

oh dear.

...does he want to follow yours?
