Picspam: The Awesome Ladies of Merlin

[springinstep.livejournal.com]

I love this show and I love these ladies. They will stand up for what they know is right, speak out when they know they need to, swing a sword around with the best of them, look absolutely fabulous, not take your shit even if you're the King of Camelot and more.

Warning: Very image heavy (28 lots of 960x675 - 14 in each post). Spoilers for series 1 and 2.

The Women of Final Fantasy 9: Fic Rec

[morgeil.livejournal.com]

I've gotten myself all re-obsessed with Final Fantasy 9 lately. So here be a motley collection of some of my favorite fic featuring the FF9 girls for your perusal!

(A bit of a Beatrix and Freya bias. I apologize, but they are my favorites...)

Note: These are all Fanfiction.net links and the site ads have been super-duper obnoxious to me today. Fair warning.

( Here be the recs! )

Meet Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective

[cinaed.livejournal.com]

Now, the majority of you (all right probably 99-100% of you) are silently going, "Who the heck is Madelyn Mack?" Do not fret! I am happy to explain all.

Miss Madelyn Mack is the main character of a short collection of five detective stories written in 1914 as well as two lost silent films. And yes, she is in fact a detective. An awesome one. The collection is written from the POV of Nora Noraker, a reporter who has become renown at her newspaper for writing personal accounts of Madelyn's detective work. The setting is 1910s New York City.

When I requested this series for Yuletide, one of my descriptions was that Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective is a bit like a genderswapped Holmes and Watson. melannen provides a brilliant comparison chart between Sherlock Holmes and Madelyn Mack in another post about the awesomeness of Madelyn Mack.

So why should you be interested in this fandom?

( Here are five reasons )

In other words, Miss Madelyn Mack is awesome, and if you're at all interested in a) detective mysteries, b) femslash, or c) steampunk New York City, you should definitely check the collection out.

Fic: An Excerpt from the Transcript of a Public Radio Interview... (Gundam Wing, Relena)

[tiamatschild.livejournal.com]

Title: An Excerpt from the Transcript of a Public Radio Interview given by Justice Relena Peacecraft Dorlian on her Sixty Sixth Birthday
Author: tiamatschild
Fandom: Gundam Wing
Rating: K
Characters: Relena
Summary: “Hello, you’re listening to Worldview. I’m Sun Hui, and today we’re talking with Justice Relena Dorlian, about her new book on her experiences serving on the World Constitutional Court…”
Warnings: None.
Notes: Written for anenko’s Impromptuthon prompt: “A (preferably gen) fic that deals respectfully with Relena's pacifism.” I don’t know about this. It’s awfully meta, and I’d rather revisit the canon more heavily and write something longer with more heft and more. You know. Plot. Other characters. Stuff like that. But it’s nearly out of time and that’s not happening this weekend, so I hope this is something remotely approaching what you were looking for.

Fic: Four Gen, Woman-Centric BSG Stories

[frolicndetour.livejournal.com]

Light at the End, Rated (R) for mature themes. This story centers around Tory in season four, and is my attempt to make sense of her actions, from her perspective. Canon character-death.

Summary: Tory's smile always shone brightest when it was least felt.

Just Another Word, Rated (PG-13). Kara's destiny and the events leading up to it. Alternate title: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Poof. Canon character-"death."

Summary: Kara has her Garden of Gethsemane moment; now with added violence and profanity.

Watercolors, Rated (PG). Sort of happy, sort of tragic story from Kara's childhood. Brief references to child abuse.

Summary: Even little Starbuck is a fun-sized badass.

No Regrets, Unrated. (I'd call it a PG.) Kara and her highly metaphorical hair. Kara/Dee friendship.

Summary: The first time she gave herself a haircut in the ship's head was right before the worlds ended.

3 fics (Brokeback Mountain, The Big Bang Theory, Threshold/Heroes)

Brokeback Mountain: Spitfire (Lureen, T, ~670w.)
Lureen, gender, and fresh starts. Back then she'd been a hellion.

A not-romance in three parts. "I must warn you, though, that they may be eradicated."

A report of a corpse walking out of a morgue leads them to Texas. "Claire Bennet," J.T. said, clicking the slide onto the big screen.

Female-Centric Drabbles

Final Fantasy VIII, Rinoa, bravery
Lost, Juliet, what she wishes she didn't know (Warning: Spoilers for S6 Lost!)
House, Lisa Cuddy, being boss
Farscape, Chiana, stars in my eyes
Dexter, Debra, anything
Adelle and Sierra (referred to as Priya), garden (Warning: Spoilers for Dollhouse finale!)

Hope you enjoy!

Two Fics, BSG and Farscape

1. disclaimer: not mine
fandom: Battlestar Galactica
characters: Cally, Boomer, Tory (with special guest star Billy)
rating: PG
genre: crack
length: 1000
notes: I blame nicole_anell. She said: , I have to believe that in the afterlife they all just looked at each other, looked at Chief, and went "...wow, so not worth it. Let's go get our zombie drink on." Also, aj can foot some of the blame, too. Billy and Kara were, at one time, the most awesome afterlife buddies ever.

2. disclaimer: not mine
fandom: Farscape
character: Sikozu Shanu
genre: AU, fix-it, post-episode
spoilers: Peacekeeper Wars (entire series)
rating: PG, language, violence, adult situations
length: 2400
notes: I've always had this sort of personal canon, I've just never bothered to write it; halfamoon gave me an excuse, and randomly listening to PKW gave me the impetus and details.
summary: Survival isn't as hard as it looks.

fandom: Charmed -- The Power of Three

[arobynsung]

Is it any wonder that my first real TV obsession came from a show about three (well technically four) women kicking ass and taking names and generally being awesome?

Forgive the unfancy picspam, but I just had to do a Charmed post.

Vid Rec: "Nami is a Fighter" (One Piece)

[anenko.livejournal.com]

Nami is a Fighter, by TheUrouge

I don't have the vocabulary to talk about the technical merits of vids. I'm a casual viewer of vids, if that. But I do know that I love this vid, and the character is celebrates. Nami is my favourite One Piece character, and a large part of that love comes from the fact that she does struggle so hard to become stronger, and to protect the people she loves.

Picspam: The Awesome Ladies Of One Piece

[springinstep.livejournal.com]

Who says it's bad luck to have a woman on board? Without the ladies, some of these guys wouldn't make it out of the harbour (especially if you make the mistake of putting Zoro in charge of navigation).

Joking aside, this is another series I love mostly because of the female characters and how they come with a variety of capabilities. Some of them have the physical strength to contribute in battle while others have to rely more upon their wits and knowledge of their weapons. Some are loud and confident while others are more subdued. Some are smart while others still have things to learn, (then again, just about everybody learns something in this series - mostly things related to nakama). What they all are is pretty dang awesome, (or at least as far as I can remember, the cast is so damn big).

Warning: Image heavy, spoilers for the series.

"Voyeur"

The generous double shot of vodka appeared on the counter in front of me, startling me from my thoughts.
