[seriousfic]

Strong Female Character - This is what fandom collectively ignores so that it can write about hot boys kissing.

Preach it, grrrl.

Amen.

Re: Preach it, grrrl.

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I went there.

Re: Preach it, grrrl.

[tamburlaine.livejournal.com]

I'm there with you, sista.

[boywonder-iii.livejournal.com]

oooo good burn, haha.

[rocaw.livejournal.com]

Sadly, you are right.

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

But...boys kissing is pretty!

But I know what you mean. It is so hard to find good fic about girls!

[lurkslikefox.livejournal.com]

Personally, I don't care about the gender as long as they make with the sexins...

[milleniumrex.livejournal.com]

But that's what femslash is for while the pretty boys are kissing!

They've got to get bored with all the chest-beating sooner or later. XD

[sinanju.livejournal.com]

Sadly, this is all too often true. I don't like slash. I like femslash. Make with the strong female characters kissing!

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

Make with the strong female characters kissing!

Alright, alright, just please don't hurt me!

[cold-nostalgia.livejournal.com]

You hit the nail on the head there.

[parsimonia.livejournal.com]

It's funny because it's true.

[parsimonia.livejournal.com]

Ohmygod. Your icon! Is that from the Superdictionary? Did you make it? May I steal it if I give credit?? *gives you internet candy*

[cold-nostalgia.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't make it. But a very talented person by the name of sluggirl did.

She's got loads of them here: http://sluggirl.livejournal.com/

Thanks for the internet candy:)

[parsimonia.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thanks!

And god help you if you want to write about a Strong Female Character and get feedback; everyone will be too busy squeeing over the latest case of a forty-year-old emotionally crippled man molesting a thirteen-year-old orphaned boy who considers him a father-figure...

...who, me? Bitter? Nah, not at all...

[mcity.livejournal.com]

Can I metaquote?

[seriousfic.livejournal.com]

You go right ahead.

[supreme-empress.livejournal.com]

No! It's funny cause it's sad...

[parsimonia.livejournal.com]

Well, that too, I suppose.

[supreme-empress.livejournal.com]

Well. You used a Will & Grace reference so it has to be true!

[parsimonia.livejournal.com]

I did?! lol. I was under the impression "it's funny cuz it's true" originated from the Simpsons.

[supreme-empress.livejournal.com]

Wow. You might be right. I googled the dates of the two episodes and I turns out the Simpsons one aired before the W&G one. I feel so cheated.

THOUGH! "It's funny cause it's sad" and "It's funny cause it'll never happen" is pure W&G

[parsimonia.livejournal.com]

Ah, there we are. So perhaps we can say that "it's funny 'cause it's _____" is a sit-com phrase meme? Or something. *wanders off in the direction of TVtropes.org*

[supreme-empress.livejournal.com]

I checked it out and it seems as if there is no such thing... Maybe were the only to people to remember these very obscure lines?

[supreme-empress.livejournal.com]

I'm friending if that's cool?

[parsimonia.livejournal.com]

Surely not.

[supreme-empress.livejournal.com]

God I hope not...
