state of the me + a rec
Sep. 22nd, 2010 10:39 amThanks for the support on the "want to leave town and wander around in an Airstream" thoughts I was having in my last post. We should all get a tour bus and...hello, road trip!
tw_femficfest ! I am so excited and happy
nancybrown thought of this!) I've got my prompts and am jazzed about them. :D
amalnahurriyeh has written some great meta for the LadiesBigBang.
So the question is, then, what is woman-centric fic, if it is not feminist, or any fic with a woman in it, and if it excludes fic that is outright sexist? It would seem to be a piece of fic that puts a female character at its center, and lets her dominate the not just the content, but the shape of the story. She's not just the person on the page the most, she's the person in control of the narrative. I mean that in a Doylist sense--she's not the person who makes everything in the story happen from within the story's framework, but, for the writer, she's the reason that the story exists, and it's shaped around her.

And on that note,
neifile7 and I are posting some Gwen-POV fic later today. \O/ It won't pass the Bechdel test, but hopefully it'll pass the hot test, since it's from a kinkmeme prompt. Ohoho.
