What I Learned From Fandom Secrets

  • Jul. 10th, 2009 at 8:09 AM
Life Is Cold & Grey
If You Are Female......

....and are sexy....

...powerful...

...and are special....

...did something first....

...or did something no one else could do...

...if you are the main character and own that...

...or have a tragic past or romantic entanglements...

...or I don't think your flaws are flawed enough...

...or you aren't hated by everyone....

...or your book has some examples of weak writing...

...or I just don't like you....


YOU'RE A MARY SUE.


To which I say:

FUCK YOU, FANDOM & [info]fandomsecrets .

I wanted to wait for Naruto to upload so I'd have something to get the taste out of my mouth - but I just couldn't resist!

But The Devil Held Their Hand
I have had an insane yen to organize lately. Devart favorites (although that's more getting caught up), icon keywords, lj tag, jewelry, cds in my car, editing and streamlining my lj friends....

I'd be impressed if I didn't think it was an advanced example of my skills at procrastination.

It's the hands that make this. How Sakura has her fist clenched and Sai is oh so lightly touching her hip.

Makeover - Avatar Edition (Toph+Katara)
Healer's Hands won over at avatar_contest!

*dances*

I'm always so very happy when I win something.

(also, fyi, I just changed my journal layout. As always, comments are welcomed.)

Badass Normal
gacked from [info]rawles :

Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post. Probably with pictures if possible. (Specific questions are easier. So '5 Times Black Star Surpassed God Naruto' requires much less brain-wracking than 'Top 5 Authors' or 'Top 5 Books You've Ever Read During The Last Decade & A Half Of Being A Bibliophile.' Just FYI.)

Come Hither (Katara)
[info]avatar_contest  - for which I wrote "Healer's Hands," had four fics written for the prompt point and apparently not a single vote for any of them.

Now, I don't vote on these contests when I have a horse in the race because I feel that my choices are to be either egotistical or falsely modest and I wouldn't want to wonder if I won or lost by one vote (when that one vote was mine).

So what I'm asking you, flist, is if you have a moment and know Avatar, head over here and read some of the fics and vote for which one you think is the best. (comments at that entry are, of course, screened.)

No Man's Daughter
[info]molten_ghost has a challenge for us. There is a fuller explanation here but the short of it is that "we as fans tend to be soft against authors that we respect, even admire. Yet almost all examples of modern media contain themes that don't exactly mesh with most self-described feminists' concept of the modern woman."

Basically, participants would each pick one or several of their favorite series or one-shots (not necessarily fandoms) and find at least one example of undeniable, indefensible sexism. Preferably, a work that gets your hackles raised whenever someone badmouths it and ESPECIALLY if you would otherwise consider the gender dynamics to be perfect.

First off, How I Met Your Mother:

Sex - wait for it - Ism )

Secondly, Soul Eater.
