Feb. 14th, 2010

I come bearing one Scooby Doo? Where Are You! rec! It's in my journal, as the writer didn't want to post it publicly on hers; I am making sure that she checks the comments, so she'll see anything posted. :D

the road this far can't be traced by

silverpenlight. Velma carries on in a post-apocalyptic world, based on this Threadless T-shirt.

Velma saved them in the end. She knew she did, she wasn't shy about it. Her research gave them machetes, chainsaws and shotguns, garlic and holy water, silver bullets. She was the first one to take aim and squeeze off four shots, the last one taking the zombie right through the forehead and knocking him down hard before he could take a bite out of Fred's arm. She took the knife, the kitchen knife they'd found in Fred's apartment and the only one they had then, and she cut off the head and shot it one last time, spraying blood and brain across the asphalt of the road where they'd stopped for a bathroom break.

disclaimer: don't own it, not really. Not trying.
note: for

halfamoon - I love the movie, Equilibrium, and the themes it tried to address, but its handling of its female characters has never, ever, sat well with me.
summary: In a perfect world, Equilibrium would have also starred Milla Jovovich as Viviana Preston, the leader of the resistance. This might be the first step toward such an end.

One of the reason I love The West Wing is because it is chock full of incredible, independent, beautiful women who revel in their femininity while putting their would-be alpha male peers in their place when the need arises. So for

halfamoon, I decided to dust off the PS skillz and celebrate these wonderful, wonderful women. Aaaaaand I'm getting it in JUST in the nick of time.

Icons are in alphabetical order according to character.

Enjoy.

I seem to have a penchant for writing angry women for Yuletide.

Three of them:

Hole in My Heart Sons of Anarchy: Gemma reflects (spoilers through the end of Season Two)

Come to Mommy Peter Beagle's The Last Unicorn: Mommy Fortuna and the Harpy

The Confession of Charlotte Backson Alexandre Dumas's Three Musketeers novels: Milady's backstory

And two non-Yuletide, less fierce:

Plum Blossom Song Firefly: Inara/Nandi; Companions remember, they do not mourn

A Night in Old Marseille Highlander: cross-dressing Amanda, Adult

These are three ficlets I've written featuring Nyssa, a Doctor Who companion in the 1980s. Nyssa was young, aristocratic, very smart, and I think quite patient and resilient.

Body and Soul, rated G, 455 words
~ set after the 1983 Fifth Doctor serial Terminus
~ A discovery on Terminus changes winter to spring

Burning Bright, rated G, 400 words
~ Nyssa has seen eyes like these before, but not on this planet.

Kingdom's End, rated G, 628 words
~ set during the Big Finish audio "Circular Time" but should work if you haven't heard that
~ 'Is there a villain?'

Didn't have as much time to write as I wanted, so I can only offer these two sorta-drabbles and must leave the other three half-done ones for another day.

First offering: River, spoilers if you know enough to sift through the babble. ( Some Assembly Required )

Second offering: Granny Weatherwax, for the prompt "The trouble with being the best is always having to BE the best. Although some manage better than others". ( Competition )

I'd intended to write new stories for this community but procrastination and illness have defeated me. Instead I would like to list some female centric stories that I've written in the past all for the Harry Potter fandom.

The first, a story of Augusta Longbottom and her daughter-in-law. Sorrows and Regrets by vegablack62 (Augusta Longbottom, Alice Longbottom; PG) was written for femgenficathon. She Knew He Would Return by vegablack62 (Augusta Longbottom, Bellatrix LeStrange, others; PG) is another story of Augusta.

The Prisoner by vegablack62 (mystery character; PG) and The Lapwing Cries Away by vegablack62 (Alice Longbottom, Dumbledore; G) feature her daughter-in-law at work.

To Be A Customer by vegablack62 (A female house elf, Madam Malkin, Hannah Abbott, Ron; PG) examines certain issues in the Potter world.

Finally A Visit to Hogsmeade by vegablack62 (Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones; PG-13; warning for sexual harassment) was written for someone who requested Hufflepuff girls with backbone and Hannah Abbott. Meet the Aunts by vegablack62 (Augusta Longbottom, Hannah, Neville; PG) shows backbone can be exhibited in the most domestic of circumstances.

sabrina_il asked for thoughts about Battlestar Galactica’s Anastasia “Dee” Dualla in the Impromptuthon, but one hundred words wasn't likely to do this fantastic character justice. Though the prompt was for meta, I've mixed it in with a picspam; she'll know why ;)

Dee has been one of my favourite Battlestar characters from the start and there’s so much to celebrate about her arc. When we meet Dee in the mini-serires, she's a Petty Officer serving aboard the Battlestar Galactica, in Communications. She functions as an everyman for a great deal of the first season; it's through her we make several discoveries that are key to the culture of the show, such as the Memorial Wall. Dee dates; Dee works hard; and she never stops. So much of her storyline goes unrecognized, buried in the romantic story arc that dominates the third season and bleeds into the second and fourth, but I'll never forget the woman who told a flustered Billy Keikeya "In or out."

For everyone who's reluctant to post links to their own challenge-appropriate works that they've created since the last

halfamoon, here is the post where you can do so without any shame or feeling of being egotistical. Here! Someone is asking you to! Remember, fandom is very very big these days, so you may have created something that someone else would totally love and has never seen. (Just now in this community I saw a rec to a long, thoughtful story for one of my favorite characters in one of my big fandoms that was written almost a year ago that I had completely missed!)

Link away!

And here are mine:

I've been meaning to churn something out for this community since I found it in January, but the chance only sprung up recently, so! I chose the lovely Miranda Lotte from D.Gray-man, and the picture is over here at my journal. Thanks for looking~!

I wasn't sure how to tag this, since there don't seem to be any for D.Gray-man itself. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Just under the wire, some of my favorite vids about women from 2009. I've tried to vary the characters and vidders and not to choose too many vids that other people have already recommended this time around, but there's going to be some repetition--I blame Katee Sackhoff and Katie McGrath. ETA: And the vidders, for consistently making such great vids!
