talk about our budding plans

[such_heights]

+ I am still looking for vids about robots! Thanks to everyone who's dropped links there so far, I'm still working my way through them all. Particularly if anyone has any recs for Transformers, The Matrix, or other robot films in downloadable format, that would be amazing. And, you know, if anyone feels moved to make a premiere for me, you should totally feel free to do that. *g*

+ I am also starting to think about halfamoon again! It is a two-week fannish celebration of female characters that starts February 1st. And on this occasion I am thinking about female characters who get character-bashed a lot. This was my preliminary list:

- Martha Jones, Doctor Who
- River Song, Doctor Who
- Gwen Cooper, Torchwood
- Guinevere, Merlin
- Jennifer Keller, SGA
- Anastasia 'Dee' Dualla, BSG
- Nyota Uhura, Star Trek Reboot
- Ginny Weasley, Harry Potter

... not entirely coincidentally, that's also a list of some of my favourite characters in each of those fandoms.

Obligatory disclaimer: obviously there is a difference between drinking the hateorade and just disliking a character! I personally totally heart all of those ladies, but even if I didn't I'd be pretty appalled at the treatment they have received in fandom from some quarters. *cough*TORCHWOOD*cough*

Who would you add? Obviously there is pretty much every woman who's ever been on Supernatural. With some of my shows, I'm not too familiar with the fandom so wouldn't know. Is there a lot of female character bashing in Firefly or A:TLA, for instance? (I HOPE NOT; THAT WOULD BE REALLY SAD.)

I don't know if you're in House fandom, but it's on my mind since Becca and I are watching the latest season. But all the ladies on House, man. And I know Sam used to get shit in SG1 fandom. I haven't been over there since high school, so I don't know if it's changed. I know there are probably a gazillion others :\

Yeah, all the women on House get bashed big time. [sighs]

Ugh, House fandom! That is sad! I have seen maybe three episodes of the show so I don't know too much about the women in question, but they seemed pretty great to me.

Oh yes, major Cuddy bashing!

Ditto on Sam. That's what I came here to say. I used to be a huge Jack/Daniel slasher and, wow, did I get tired of all the OOC Sam-bashing in fic.
