Fic challenge managed?
So on the nudging and encouraging of second_batgirl, I participated in the Alpha's Magical Fic Exchange, a Power Rangers fanfiction exchange. I wrote "Girls Day Out", where Gia and Emma of Power Rangers: Megaforce have a free day to themselves and bond over non-Rangery things. Mostly. I haven't heard from my recipient so I hope the spirit was taken as intended.
I received a lovely and sad Lauren character piece in exchange.
Being a canon girl is a challenge at the best of times. Being one in Power Rangers fandom is nothing short of a migraine in the making. In half hour episodes, with fight scenes and costume changes, it doesn't leave a lot of room for characterization, especially off duty. And guess who was really screwed over in that department? One yellow ranger named Gia Goodall that received a focus episode or even a hint of what else she did when she wasn't being perfect straight A student. She mostly seemed to be there to be the badass one and to be fawned over by Jake. (Don't get me started on that.)
