"All the ladies" wouldn't preclude people from writing only Kara-centric if they wanted to, would it?

Nope! Kara is def included in all the ladies ;)

Why? Because I want people to vote non-gen. :P

I should probably explain that the reason this comm is non-gen is because there are already so many ship comms and I think there's not much focus on how awesome Kara is just in and of herself. Her achievements, her personal strength, her ties with the rest of the folks on Galactica -- there's not a lot of attention paid to those. I wanted a place where Kara would always come first basically. (Same goes for the other ladies, even more so, except maybe Laura, who has some comms devoted to her I know.)

That being said - not totally opposed to a shippy ficathon if that wins the vote. ;)

Feel free to delete the gif spam, if it's not appropriate for your gen comm. I was simply trying to sway votes. :)

is fine here since we're talking ships anyway!

I just want to write & read Kara. Never can get enough of her as the focus. So I vote...Kara-centric!
(I'm a bit confused about the term 'gen' as it relates to Kara-gen & Non-gen?)

See my comments above but basically gen fic means primary focus is Kara (or another lady) and not a romAntic pairing. (there can be moments of shippiness in the fic but the greater theme/focus needs to be on Kara herself). It should focus on her triumphs and achievements, her setbacks or failures, her family ties or friendships. She could show off her prowess as top gun, go on a quest, make an unlikely bond with someone, or learn something about herself. You could show us Kara's first week on Galactica, her experience stepping in as flight instructor on Pegasus, what happened to her when she died or poofed, a past or future life for her, kara through the eyes of one of her nuggets, etc. Yes, Kara-centric crossovers or AUs are just fine. :)

Would AU/Crossovers be allowed, as long as Kara is Kara from BSG universe?
