Ahahahaha! Guys, I probably won't be contributing any fic, but wow, I'm eager to see what other people do. To quote the intro post:
The (Totally Legal) 18th Anniversary Kon-a-thon begins now!
18 years of publication history. His name has changed... his costume... his powers... his parentage... his location... his relationships... He's died and come ( Read more... )

I went over to my friends' house for dinner. Interesting traditional Czech food, roast beef with HUGE bread-like dumplings, smothered in a vegetable sauce, topped with cranberries from a can. I wish I could remember what it was called.

Good Auntie: It was Gabby's birthday earlier this month and I gave her two outfits for her Zhu Zhu pets. She ( Read more... )

Huh. LJ keeps going down. It's worse for the Russian bloggers, of course, but still annoying when I want to make use of my LJ Scrapbook. It's a good thing I dusted off my Photobucket account back when I'd temporarily deleted my LJ, because now I can continue my 30 Days of Female Characters picspam uninterrupted.

Day Nineteen: Favourite non-human ( Read more... )

Day Seventeen: Favourite warrior female characterI wanted to choose a different female character rather than one I've already posted about, such as Keladry of Mindelan or Kira Nerys. I also wanted to draw a distinction between characters who happen to be warriors, such as Faith, and characters who are primarily defined by their warrior nature, such ( Read more... )

Day Sixteen: Favourite mother character

I started to answer that I didn't have any favourite mother characters, only favourite mother figure characters (like Tara Maclay), but then I realised it's been years since I last checked who "counted" as a mother! Spoilers for Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Criminal Minds. And of course I can't ( Read more... )

Day Fifteen: Favourite female character growth arc

Faith. (Again.) There's no contest, really. And since my ATPo essay-writing days are long behind me, I will express my adoration through picspam instead!

Spoilers for... pretty much anything Faith-related.

Day Fourteen: Favourite older female character

For the longest time I couldn't think of an "older" female character who wasn't an Immortal from Highlander! There was Winn Adami from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but while I enjoy her quite a lot as Sisko and Kira's antagonist, she didn't really count as a "favourite". But then someone reminded me of ( Read more... )

Day Ten: Favourite female character in a scifi/supernatural show

Kira Nerys, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Okay, the thing about Kira is that she's absolutely not your run-of-the-mill hero. She wouldn't be run-of-the-mill even if she were male, and for a female character? Almost unheard of on television. ( Wherein I wax lyrical, kinda, about my hero Kira Nerys. Cut for SPOILERS. )

Day Eight: Favourite female character in a comedy show

If "comedy" refers to sit-coms, then Dana Whitaker from Sports Night. But if "comedy" means "show that is primarily funny/lighthearted vs ~dramatic~", then currently it's Kate Beckett from Castle. Stana Katic is, perhaps, not as strong an actress as Paget Brewster (Castle and Criminal Minds ( Read more... )

Day Seven: A female character that needs more screen time

JJ on Criminal Minds! ...okay, okay, fine. I have two female characters to offer today. The first: Uhura, Star Trek Reboot. (Or STXI. Whichever.) I'm really, really curious about what will happen to Uhura in the next movie. I want to know how she's doing professionally, how she's doing ( Read more... )
