Lesbian Megathread! A massive list of every fandom and canon people could think of offhand "that has: 1. Canon lesbians! and/or 2. Notable femslashy subtext, and/or 3. A fandom with a lot of femslash!"

Favorite kinds of AUs, and best and worst fandoms for creating them. The latter thread makes a nice observation about "fandoms where it's fun to write the characters in AUs" and "fandoms where it's fun to write the setting as a base AU for other characters."

25 Things I Learned From Opening a Bookstore

Dear writer,

Thank you so much for attempting to write a fic for me! I'm sure I will love it anyways, but here are some details about what I like/dislike, in case you like to do your research.
 

 

( Here I rambled about myself )

And here are the three fandoms I requested, with the characters that I requested, and an Extended Edition of each of my requests! But again, these are just notes-- just, if you're the kind of person who wants to know *more* information about what I might possibly like, here it is-- and I will be thrilled with whatever you choose.

Large Fandom: Marvel comics
Women: Anya Corazon, Rikki Barnes, Misty Knight, Colleen Wing, Angela del Toro, Felicia Hardy,
Optional Details:
( Marvel comics )

Small fandom: Recetear
Women: Recette, Tear, Nagi, Arma, Tielle
Optional details: All characters where we were given a basic sketch, but very little about their lives or thoughts. I would love to see more about any of them and their lives.  

If romance is included, any combination between the female characters is fine to me.

I have been an avid reader of original Chinese yaoi lately. It may be the glee of reading in my native language and culture. It may also be that I want to look for something new. It may also be that original yaoi is the nearest thing to have gay characters and is a taboo in China government's eyes.

And it's an interesting experience.

Striking a pose: fantasy author Jim C. Hines takes pictures of himself in the same poses as women in the covers of several fantasy novels. As he says, "there's nothing wrong with being sexual (...). But posing like these characters drives home exactly what's being emphasized and what's not."

Day 14

In your own space, ask for help. Need a beta? Always wanted to learn how to make a vid? a fanmix? icons? Maybe you’d want to have someone cheering for you while you work on an upcoming big bang or fannish bingo? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. .

 I'd like someone to help brainstorm and kick me into gear writing the Very difficult Fic for poetry_ficathon. Fandom knowledge is not needed.

Someone to cheer me on or willing to beta for me is always welcome. I'll probably write more Marvel comics: Steve/Tony for fannish bingo. But I have a plan to write more female characters from Marvel and others.
