To celebrate, fics I've written since last year's run what are lady-focused. (Previous roundups were done on LJ.)

Multifandom Ladycentric Reclist

I do a monthly reclist included in my media recap over at anothercoast.wordpress.com if you're interested in the full(er) list. For this selection I primarily went with true gen, femslash, and het that truly focused on the women. Hope you enjoy! (Note: I've tried to warn where prudent, but please also note any content warnings at the source.)

( 27 fandoms, many fic. Sorry for any format errors. I have a fever! )

Fandom Pitch Post: Ame-Comi Girls

[amaresu]

You may know Ame-Comi Girls as those statues and dolls of the female DC superheros and villains that are ubiquitous to comic book stores. Here's the DC Store page for them if you want to refresh your memory on what they are. The basic idea behind the line was to redesign these characters in an anime style. There are clear Magical Girl and Shonen influences in the designs at least.

That's not the important part. The important part is that last year DC decided to make a comic based on these statues. And every Monday since last May you've been able to buy a new issue for $0.99 (US, I don't know what they cost elsewhere, sorry) at Comixology. They were originally going to be digital only, but they are popular enough that collected issues are being printed and sold in stores, although they are several months behind. And they are awesome.

The writers of the series, Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, decided to set it on an Earth where there are no male superheros or villains. They also decided that where possible rather than genderflip characters they'd find an already existing character to take the role. So Jessie Quick is the Flash, Alanna Strange is our hero from Rann, and Power Girl defends the world from Metropolis and welcomes her cousin Supergirl to Earth. Ame-Comi Girls started as a series of 3 issue mini-series with a varying range of interconnectedness between them before going on into an onging series with a longer story arcs. It's also on the more light hearted end of the comic spectrum so if you've grown tired of the grim dark nature of the New 52 it might be just what you need.

I will attempt to avoid spoilers in this next section, but there are screen caps from the series that include comic panels.

( But let's get some images, it's a comic after all )

In conclusion, go forth and enjoy a DC Universe where all the major characters are female. All of them, good and evil.
