Icons: I am Awesome

[boosette.livejournal.com]

Not long ago, I posted a batch of stock icons on the subject of "Women: Awesome", inspired by an OC fest, and they also felt appropriate here. Grab any you like, with or without credit.

The font: Libel Suit at 14pt, crisp anti-aliasing.

Narrative poem; written in memory of Tara Maclay

[kerkevik.livejournal.com]

Hi,

       today I offer up a narrative poem; written from Willow's POV, and set twenty years after their first meeting in Hush, but offering up her thoughts and memories as she sees Oz across a piazza in a mediaeval Italian city, while her wife and new son are in a hotel room nearby.

  More explanations if you want them. In the meantime here's the poem...

  Still under Willow & Tara's spell,
  Ray.

Music rec!

Seanan Mcguire is a fantasy/sf writer under both her name and as Mira Grant (Feed was my favorite book of 2010) as well as a filker.  Filk, for those who don't know, is the music of SF/F fandom.  (kind of fanfic with a melody)

Her song Wicked Girls is, well, it's brilliant is what it is.  I love this entire  song like whoa but my favorite verse is the one dealing with Susan and Lucy Pevensie. Okay, second favorite next to the one ending "be wicked and lovely and don't live in fear".

I'm not sure which convention this was shot at but a couple hundred of the youtube viewings are mine...

Drabble: Pern

[senmut]

I'd been trying to catch one a day, but yesterday was the day of Sleep Now!

So I will try and post another drabble later today. Here is last night's.

Title: For a Song
Writer(s): merfilly
Fandom: Dragonriders of Pern
Pairing/Characters: Audiva
Rating/Category: PG /Gen
Word Count: 100
Prompt: A character in transition, in part because of Menolly's presence shaking things up

Women of Sherlock fics (Molly, Mrs. Hudson, etc.)

[apple-pathways.livejournal.com]

First, a couple of mine: (In my head!canon, all of the women from Sherlock are secretly badass.)

"Hudson's Gang". (PG) Mrs. Hudson and most of the other characters. A short AU story is which Mrs. Hudson is the boss of a criminal organization. ~800 words

"Almost Anyone". (R - WARNINGS for mentions of suicide and rough sex.) Moriarty, Molly Hooper. "The greatest shock of a dead body is how ordinary it looks." And how ordinary it becomes. ~800 words.

More recs: (This is where you discover I'm a huge Molly fangirl and a Molly/Jim shipper, to boot.)

"Home Is Where", by Mad_Maudlin. (PG-13) Molly, Jim. "Home is the place where, when you have to go there,
They have to take you in." ~2,000 words.

"No Surprises", by rachel2205. (R - references to sex and murder.) Molly Hooper, Moriarty. When Molly discovers the truth about her boyfriend "Jim" she's more intrigued than horrified, and in her search to find him proves herself to be stronger and smarter than anyone thought. ~2,000 words.

Finally, I have to rec the community I co-mod with the lovely Rachel: sherlockhet. Rachel decided to set it up for me after I wondered to her what a het fan like myself was doing in such a slashy fandom as Sherlock!

There's a lot of great stories about the women in Sherlock posted there, and if you have some you'd like to add, please do! We subscribe to a loose definition of "het", so the barest of connection to co-ed relationships will qualify! Mostly, I'd just be interested to collect more stories about the female characters there, so if you've got a fic about Sally, Molly, Sarah, Mrs. Hudson, Harry, Clara, etc--bring it over!

Title: A Little Tenderness

Lovepost: Morgause, Hero

[tassosss.livejournal.com]

I think I fell a little bit in love with Morgause the first time she revealed herself in season 2, (Sins of the Father).

Morgause is a warrior, a sorceress, a manipulator, and the power behind Uther's major enemies. She gives Morgana a direction for her anger, and a way to break free of the oppression and fear she lives under. She controls Cenred, basically stealing his army for her cause. She has a dozen tricks up her sleeve and if those don't work, she's got a sword and the skill to wield it. She's determined to see Uther fall because he has murdered sorcerers and magic users for a generation and she won't stand for it anymore. She'll do anything she has to to take him down.

In my head there's a story that goes like this.
