So I was adding some new interests to my LJ profile (because I, uh... have some new interests. Yes.) and found myself feeling defensive every time I typed a female name, thinking, basically, FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME, because I felt as if someone somewhere was going to be criticizing my love for them.

So, anyway, then I made a list of women who make me want to say FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME. They are far from the only women who are awesome, or the only women people need to be told to step off of, but they are the top ten I feel that way about, right now, off the top of my head.

If you want to argue with me about the awesomeness of any of these women, I am afraid I will simply be referring you to the subject line. THAT IS ALL.


1. Detective-Sergeant Karrin Murphy (yes, people have argued with me)
2. Kaylee Frye (why do people underestimate her? She has a wrench!)
3. Special Agent Dana Scully (people've argued with me about her too)
4. Sarah Jane Smith (Torchwood, you are doing it wrong. Seriously. Take a lesson from her)
5. Emma Thompson (\o/)
6. Molly Carpenter (She can end you)
7. Susan Rodriguez (TV SHOW I AM LOOKING AT YOU)
8. Barbara Wright Chesterton (*eyes certain NewWho fans narrowly, including RTD*)
9. One word: ACE. (*eyes RTD again*)
10. Evelyn Carnahan O'Connell (scary woman when she wants to be)

And one more, because I simply couldn't cut her out...

11. Elizabeth I. ROSALIND MILES I AM LOOKING AT YOU. Anyone who treated Elizabeth like you have Robin Dudley treating her would've lost his head in about a nanosecond.

When you see this, post a little weensy excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.

Here's...um...a lot of stories. A lot a lot. Guess the fandom. Also, let me know if any of these intrigue. Some of them are perilously close to being abandoned.
( I really need to get some of these finished. )

1. Pick 10 of your favourite moviess.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions. Totally cheating, you dirty cheaters.

( Movies! )

Comment with the name of one of my fics. I'll give you three songs I think should wind up on the soundtrack to that story. Then post this meme in your journal and send music to the people who comment to you.

Since GreatestJournal went and self-destructed on me, I'm going to copy-paste and save stuff. For Posterity.

( A meme I feel like doing again )

( Three Men and a Baby )

( Storytime with Kat and Boy regarding Greek Mythology! )
