Day Twenty-Two: Favorite female character you love but everyone else hates

BELA. She shoulda been around for quite a while longer, she had a lot of potential, still does have if it ever occurs to Carver to bring her back as a demon.

20. Yes, but what are your thoughts on yaoi?

Why is that even a meme? It's just slash based on Japanese-origin media.

Day Twenty-One: Favorite female character screwed over by canon

Anna was going to have Castiel's plotline, I understand. Instead she got sidelined and flambeed.

18. What don't you talk about here, either because it's too personal or because you don't have the energy?

My family. Which is six of one, half dozen the other.

Day Nineteen: Favorite non-human female character

Define your terms. If she was human at any point in the series/movie/book, does she still count? Think I'm gonna go with Ruby, though, she was human once but not during the series.

17. How many people on your reading list do you know IRL?

This...is my real life.

Day Eighteen: Favorite non-warrior female character

I'm going to go with Belle from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. She was my favorite overall for the longest time, mostly because of her book obsession.

16. What are you glad you did but haven't really had a chance to post about?

Last week the local state park and the state Sierra Club hosted a former chief of a local Native American tribe to talk about the lifestyle of his tribe before the Europeans came. I was particularly struck by how he described catching fish--the older boys would build a not-quite-dam across a stream, something that funneled the fish to a single point that let a single fish through at a time, and the little kids would line up across the stream behind the school and walk downstream throwing pebbles and acorn caps to scare the fish towards the not-dam, so the older boys could catch the fish as they single-filed through the gap in the not-dam, then bring the fish to the older girls for cleaning and cooking. So all the kids knew they had an important role to play in feeding the tribe.

Day Seventeen: Favorite warrior female character

Define 'warrior'. Depending on how one defines the term, either Anna Milton or Jo Harvelle. Though I have a soft spot for Disney's Mulan and Merida.

15. What's your current obsession? What about it captures your imagination?

That would have to be my original fic. Where by 'original' I mostly mean 'retellings of public domain works'. I'm currently banging on a Beauty and the Beast story, there's eight more fairy tales in that Scrivener project in various states of completion, and I have barely begun my perusal of the Child ballads and the stories collected by Joseph Jacobs to find ones to retell. Might hit up Andrew Lang, too, there's one with a transgender hero I SHIT YOU NOT.

What's fascinating me is the same thing that's always fascinated me with fanfiction. Here are the story elements. How do I make them tell my stories?

Day Sixteen: Favorite mother character

ELLEN!

SAM
Kind of surprised, you and Jo hunting. Weren't you always saying she couldn't hack the life?

ELLEN
She can't. But if she's gonna do it anyway—

SAM
You want to keep an eye on her.

Also "My daughter may be an idiot, but she's not stupid."

14. Did you have a gateway fandom? Still in it? Why or why not? Is there a community for it on DW?

Sailormoon, no question. Not still in it, don't know why. And apparently there is!

sailormoon.

Day Fifteen: Favorite female character growth arc

Katara! She starts out the series barely able to handle a ball of water the size of her head, and by the end of the series she can keep an entire rainstorm from falling.

...That's not what the question meant, is it. Eh. Still Katara.

I'm going to get back to my AtLA Epic Bechdel Project, I swear.

13. Do you have any unique interests on your user profile? What are they? How'd they get there?

Nope, not at present. Woe.

Day Fourteen: Favorite older female character

ELLEN HARVELLE. Kickass mama bear.

12. What do you consider the five most "telling" interests from the list on your profile? Why?

fanfiction, feminism, green party, unitarian jihad, writing

Not much about who I am in that list, but lots about what I do.

Day Thirteen: Favorite female character in a book

Annice in Tanya Huff's Sing the Four Quarters. Lots of reasons, but the one that springs immediately to mind is, she had all the privilege that comes of being a princess, and she put it down (as best she could) and walked away.

10. Tell me about your default icon.

Charlie Bradbury of Supernatural is a redheaded progressive-political-activist lesbian geek who dances in the elevator. SOLD.

And because I missed a day:

11. What features do you think Dreamwidth should have that it doesn't currently?

Can't think of any offhand, since we have post-comments-by-replying-to-notif-emails now. :-D

wicked girls saving ourselves
