Femininity can be whatever a woman decides it is! I love it when Buffy puts on her pretty prom dress and goes to slay vampires and take names. But sometimes, we make non-standard fashion choices, and sometimes, non-standard means "boys' clothes." Here's a picspam celebrating just a few of those choices.

Eowyn, Mulan, Elizabeth Swann, Natty Gann, Idgie Threadgoode, Mademoiselle Amy Jolly, Annie Hall, Romana II, and Ace McShane )

I wanted to write something new for this community, but I've been swamped with various other things, so I thought I'd link to some of my older stories that focus on female characters I particularly like:

DC comics, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Temeraire, and X-Men movieverse )

I'm a mod of [livejournal.com profile] idol_reflection, a multifandom community for meta essays about characters people like and want to introduce to other fans. Behind the cut, links to 31 essays posted there about female characters in 14 fandoms, many including fanfic recs and links to character-centric communities:

lots and lots of shiny here )

Also, if you'd be interested in sharing your love for a favorite character, feel free to check out the claims list and consider writing an essay of your own; we've got far fewer essays about female characters than male characters, and I'd love to see more women represented. (Anybody for Teyla? Ginny Weasley? Barbara Gordon? Laura Roslin? Martha Jones? All currently up for grabs.)

I've posted this WIP to my journal and the usual Pirates places, but I'm happy to post it here as an Elizabeth-centered fic set after At World's End.

Title: In Thought or Deed (all tag)
Disclaimer: These characters aren't stolen, simply borrowed - borrowed without permission - for personal, not commercial, purposes.
Pairing(s): (f/f) Elizabeth/Jade (an Empress twin), (m/f) Elizabeth/Jack (eventually).
Chapters: 6/? (How do even my short fics end up being as long as novels?!) Rating: varies from PG to R so far.
A/N: Elizabeth's Chinese nickname is pronounced “Tyen-Uh,” though it seems to be written as “Tian'E.”
Summary:
For Elizabeth, the world may be ended, but she is still forced to live in it. Winds carry her to Singapore, where she learns to fight, encounters a mysterious man of business from Shanghai, and hears tales of a mystical amulet that affords its bearer the ability to hear others' thoughts, giving them the power to connect with loved ones far away and sense instantly any treachery close at hand.
Chapters so far: C.1 "The Flash of the Sword," C.2 "The Night Drum, " C. 3 " The Woman on the Moon," C.4 "River of Silver," C.5 "White Swan, Black Crane, C.6 "The Mouth of the Yang-Tze."
