Half a Moon: 14 Days of Celebrating Women

some of my fic about women

2011-02-13T22:00:00Z

Posted by: pellucid.livejournal.com

It occurs to me that while I have written new fic and done recs and all that sort of thing for halfamoons past and present, I don't think I've ever catalogued my own female character-focused fic. And, well, that's most of what I write, so it's worth doing, I suppose. This is not an exhaustive list, but it is some of the stuff I'm more fond of. Most of it is a few years old, since life has been intervening in the fic writing during the last year or two.

Alias
A Fairer House than Prose (Irina Derevko, written February 2011)

Battlestar Galactica
The Signs that the Signmakers Made (Laura Roslin, written June 2007)
Eschatos (Laura Roslin and the Opera House women, contains some Roslin/Adama, written January 2008)
Latter Days (Anastasia Dualla and Laura Roslin, written November 2008)
Infinite Regress (The Origin Stories Remix) (Athena, Lord of Kobol, and Pythia, written for bsg_remix in July 2009)

Farscape
Five Things That Never Happened to Xhalax Sun (written August 2006)
wee untitled Chiana and Moya ficlet (written April 2007)

Lie to Me
Five Things Gillian Foster Has Never Told Anyone (written January 2010)

Stargate: SG-1
Of Belonging to Another (Sam Carter, Vala Mal Doran, and Sarah Gardner, written July 2006)
The Sea with its Deepness (Janet Fraiser, written March 2008)

Ten Kickass Women Who Deserve More Love

2011-02-10T17:22:00Z

Posted by: 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?)

Yahtzee63 Rec Set: AtS, BtVS, Alias, Others

2008-02-14T11:45:00Z

Posted by: counteragent.livejournal.com

yahtzee63 writes phenomenal fic, much of it centered around awesome female characters. Some of her stuff has already been rec'd, but I don't think these are repeats.

Here are a few of my favorites:

AtS
As Time Goes By
Fascinating AU crossover between AtS and Casablanca. Great portrayals of Cordelia, Buffy, Lilah, and Fred.

BTVS
Pheonix Burning
A classic. AU, future set after "The Gift." All six slayers are awesome, but Buffy and Sumiko are amazingly characterized.

Alias
No For Yes (Irina). The SpyRent backstory!
Evergreen (Nadia). Post-apocalyptic awesomeness. Jack/Nadia.
Bind Them With Fury (Syd, mostly). What happens when Syd has had enough, and goes on the proactive?
Jack Bristow at the Edge of Reason (Bridget Jones and Syd (and Jack) - HiLARious) The only shortish fic on the list.

Joan of Arcadia
Goodnight Moon
Crossover with "The Day After Tomorrow." Amazing piece of writing, full stop.

Fanfic: Friday Night Lights, The OC, Fanart: Buffy, The OC, Alias, Doctor Who

Posted by: puppetoflove.livejournal.com

A mini-mega-mini-post of drabbles and art and such.

Title: The Fragments of a Name
Fandom: Friday Night Lights
Pairing: Tyra/Lyla
Summary: Lyla is tap-tap-tapping her acrylic nails on the peeling laminate of the diner table and Tyra has never hated anyone more in her entire life.
Rating: PG-13? There's some artfully glossed over sex going on.

( The Fragments of a Name, Tyra/Lyla )

Title: Once Upon a Time in Orange County
Fandom: The OC
Pairing: Summer/Marissa
Summary: Let's say that once, a really, really long time ago, Summer Roberts hung out with Marissa Cooper.
Rating: PG

( Once Upon a Time in Orange County, Summer/Marissa + Fanart )

And, bonus girly art bonanza!

( The OC, Buffy, Alias, Doctor Who, and more under the cut. )
