we're all stories in the end

The fest is now open for fanwork responses! You can post any fanwork that features a relationship of some kind between two or more female characters and plays with a popular genre/fandom trope of some kind. You can respond to a specific prompt, including your own, or write something in accordance with your own interests. You do not have to claim a prompt, and multiple people can respond to the same prompt.

All fanworks are allowed. This includes but is not limited to art, vids, fic, podfic, graphics, crafts, filks, rec lists, meta and picspam. Fanworks can be posted as comments or posted to your own journal/webspace and left as a link. I encourage you to consider using this fest as a way to participate in three_weeks_for_dw, a celebration starting today that marks Dreamwidth's two-year anniversary and encourages users to create unique, DW-only content. However, if you would prefer to include an AO3/LJ/other link, that is also totally fine.

eta: There is now an AO3 collection for this fest.

( Masterlist )

I couldn't pick just one!

Kahlan is awesome because she is kind and likes small animals and children and things, but will also fuck your shit up without a second thought in the name of truth and justice. She has kickass magical powers but can also take out armies without them, mostly by dazzling them with her hair and then pulling knives out of her boots.

Cara is awesome because she is snarky and hilarious and utterly unapologetic about who she is. She's on this amazing journey of rediscovering her humanity, and it's fantastic to watch. She also enjoys making out with other hot chicks in leather from time to time.

( picspam, with screencaps from 2x20 )

My Club Vivid vid is uploading right now, argh, flail, etc. I am cautiously excited about it, though!

Latest fuck yeah she's awesome round up:

+ frangipani on The Tale of Admiral Wan Zafirah ibna Wan Mahmud

+ scrollgirl is picspamming the ladies of Stargate - Day One, Day Two.

+ bewize on Hit Girl (Kick-Ass)

+ littlebutfierce on female characters in baseball animanga.

Gwen is amazing. She is made of flowers and sunshine and happiness, and Angel Coulby's performance lights up the screen. Unlike all the other major characters in Merlin, she has no powers or status to bend things her way - instead, her superpowers are reason, compassion, and a level-headedness frequently missing in the antics of her friends. She delights in the happiness of others, has a fierce sense of justice, and she's going to be a fucking awesome queen of Camelot.

( picspam, because her face always cheers me up! )

+ arch continues her Martha Jones is a Big Damn Hero series with The Shakespeare Code. ♥!

+ miss_haitch is hosting a Why Yes I Am Awesome meme - go and own your awesomeness!

+ yvi has a Wednesday happiness thread.

And in fuck yeah, she's awesome posts:

+ ssquirrel_fic on Ingrid Dracula (Young Dracula).

+ sarasvati on Tara Maclay (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

Keep 'em coming! :D

Dreamwidth users, three_weeks_for_dw participants, I hereby issue you a CHALLENGE.

This challenge is inspired by arch, who wrote Martha Jones Is a Big Damn Hero: "Smith & Jones", a fantastic post about why Martha is great.

The challenge goes like this: tell us about a female character you love. Make icons, write some meta, picspam her best scenes, make a vid, write an episode recap, write fic, tell us your favourite quotes about/said by her. Be as creative as you like!

As part of Three Weeks For Dreamwidth, any contributions should be DW-only for three weeks after posting, then you're welcome to archive anywhere. I will post regular roundups of entries. Depending on level of interest, prizes may be available!

In short:

Make a post, on Dreamwidth, about a female character. Tag it 'fuck yeah she's awesome' and 'three weeks for dreamwidth'. Link to it in the comments of this post!
