LJ Comm Rec

[anenko.livejournal.com]

rainscene is run by the amazing darkeyedwolf who draws the unwary LJ user into the wild world of Asian movies and dramas with a careful blend of loving snark and picspams of beautiful people.

Her genre: dangerous ladies tag is a good place to start browsing (SPEC! BOSS! Koshonin!), but there are plenty of amazing ladies to love in all of the entries at rainscene.

Fic recs: Seven Doctor Who fics written by the 11 year old daughter of an lj friend.

[kerkevik.livejournal.com]

Hi,

      these fics are all, as it says above, by the daughter of an lj friend of mine elisi  (whose extremely talented daughter is now 12). Here's what she put at the header of the first of Miss M's she posted :- 

  "Look what my daughter wrote!!!!
   Miss M (age 11) is home from school today, 'cause she's not feeling well, and during that time got an idea for a fic, and - here it is! Not even 500 words, but quite excellent, if I may say so myself! :) I've not done anything to it, except fix the structure a little."

  This the tag link at elisi's lj for these fics  -  http://elisi.livejournal.com/tag/miss%20m

   and these are the fics, in order of posting...

Ten Kickass Women Who Deserve More Love

[bluerosefairy.livejournal.com]

I've posted over at my DW a list of ten (well, eleven, but who's complaining about a bonus?) women who I think need a little more love. They're not all unpopular, though some are, but in general, they're not fandom-at-large's Bright Shiny Objects.

List is here, with fandoms including: Alias, Ashes to Ashes, Burn Notice, Doctor Who, Glee, How I Met Your Mother, Lie to Me, Mad Men, Profit, & Wire in the Blood

(Mods, may I please have a "Lie to Me" tag?)

February drabbletag at where_no_woman

[merisunshine36.livejournal.com]

where_no_woman is a multi-canon Star Trek comm for promoting fanworks about all of the female characters in the Trekiverse, from Number One to Janeway to Gaila and back again. We want your gen, your het, your femslash, your acrostic poem about Unnamed Female Alien #13 that is currently occupying a lonely corner in your picspam file. :D

Today we launched our first ever drabble tag event, with the theme of "Love...Is a Many Splendored Thing?"  Come on over and drabble with us!!  Or if you're not in the mood for drabbling, stop by any time to share your fic/vids/icons/recs or participate in our exchanges and challenges--we have a new one about once a month.

(p.s. membership and posting to the comm is currently moderated because of multiple attacks by trojan-planting spambots of evil, but all requests for membership and posts by non-spambots will be approved.)

Mini-manifesto and recs for Lana Lang

[bofoddity.livejournal.com]

In the still ongoing unpopular woman love post I made a thread for Lana Lang from Smallville because she's perhaps the most hated female character I've ever seen. This is what I wrote about her.

( Lana Lang: The Tribute )

( Recs )

As an extra I must also give massive props for Kristin Kreuk, who started out clumsy and for whom it took some time to grow into her actress shoes (not unlike Tom Welling. what, it took him time to grow to his actress shoes? yes, it did!), but who nevertheless made Lana soar in the end. And even if you don't agree with that you can't not agree with the fact that she's extremely, unreally beautiful. Excuse me, I have some swooning to do.

Jam and Jerusalem: An Introduction

[cosmic-llin.livejournal.com]

I thought I'd share with you all a little look at one of my favourite women-centric TV shows, Jam and Jerusalem. It's a brilliant piece of television full of warm and subtle characterisation and complex relationships. It's a crime that it doesn't have a bigger fandom!

What's Jam and Jerusalem?

Also known as Clatterford, Jam and Jerusalem is a sweet, funny and sometimes uncomfortably accurate look at life in a small village, focusing on practice nurse Sal and her friends in the Women's Guild of Clatterford St Mary, a small Devon town.



Why Should You Watch It?

* The main characters are mostly older women, and even the minor characters are well-drawn, three-dimensional, funny, sympathetic and interesting.
* It passes the Bechdel Test every single episode.
* It stars some huge names in British comedy and drama, including Sue Johnstone, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French and David Mitchell.
* There's only ten hours of it, so you can watch the whole series over one cosy weekend
* It has an incredibly hummable soundtrack by Kate Rusby
* You can ship it every-which-way
