F-LIST IS ANYONE WATCHING BOMB GIRLS?
It's a really, really awesome new Canadian TV mini-series about women working in a munitions factory in WW2. There have been four episodes out so far. Why should you watch it? Well, these two posts explain better than I can, but to sum up:
It has tough, interesting and gorgeous women who are central to the storyline, it passes the Bechdel test frequently, and it has a lot of queer subtext (which I'm praying will become text soon).
It is the BEST.
Just go watch it. (If you don't live in Canada and don't want to pay for the episodes on iTunes, here are some links.)
I am really disappointed that there isn't much of a fandom for it yet, but I mean, it's only been a month since the show started, and there's a wonderful tumblr, an lj comm (bomb_girls), and a fic meme with a couple of fills (bomb_girls_meme). I'm planning on writing some fic myself, but I'm busy with school and with working on fills for my Steve/Tony bingo. I'd love to flail about this show with someone, though! So please, please give it a go? :D
(Oh, and I got a pinboard account! I'm mapped on there. I will be bookmarking fic, mostly, so if you're into any of my fandoms and want recs, feel free to subscribe!)
