Nov. 13th, 2014 07:27 pm...for a challenge at
womenverse.
You know you're Kaylee Frye fan when....
--You find yourself calling everything "shiny"
--You think about learning to be a mechanic
--You practice all kinds of smiles
--You're really most comfortable wearing coveralls
--You don't mind having a smudge of grease or dirt on your face
--You seriously consider whether you could make that duck tape pink fluffy dress
--You wonder whether you'd really be scared of River
--You get homesick
--You really wonder whether it's better for Kaylee to be with Simon
--You decide not. :-)

Mood Boards for Female Characters
Sep. 3rd, 2014 08:24 pmFor a challenge at
womenverse. This was cool, I'd never seen mood boards before. At first I was stumped, but thanks to
blue_sunflowers, it kind of popped. It's her creativity that inspired the Luna one; I admire how her suggestions were all adjectives, while the ones I came up with on my own were mostly nouns. That means something I think.

Photo challenge for Womenverse
Jul. 31st, 2014 12:48 amWe came up with items that matched with women characters, then had to take pictures of ten of those items. Fortunately, I was able to take most of these shots without standing up from my desk. A few of them I had to go across the hall. None of them are the same as the ones used by the characters, though. Especially the phone, LOL. I also copied the full list of items and characters under the cut, because it's cool.

So I'm ready to attack, gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
That's right, put your pom-poms downs, getting everybody fired up
Girl Power - Cheetah Girls
Sometimes life may get you down
But you better hold your ground
Can't nobody live your life but you
Stay true to who you are
Can’t Hold Us Down - Christina Aguilera
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave them proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, can't hold us down

I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Super Bass - Nicki Minaj
Don't you hear that heartbeat comin' your way?
Oh, it be like, boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Honesty - Billy Joel
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
Megaphone - Parry Gripp
Her Majesty – The Beatles
Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl

But I just wanna hear your voice
Make a Noise - Katie Herzig
Find your voice, find your voice
Make a noise
Can’t Hold Us Down - Christina Aguilera
This is for my girls all around the world
Who have come across a man that don’t respect your worth

Are we human or the system?
I Swung the Election - Jack Teagarden
Democracy - Leonard Cohen
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.

Crossover Roulette: Two Random Characters
Jul. 3rd, 2014 08:34 pmFor
womenverse, for two women characters randomly selected from fandoms I provided. I got Alt-Astrid from Fringe and Dawn from Buffy!
How They Met
Fandom: Fringe, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Rating: G
Words: 441
Notes: This didn't quite get to the heart of what these two have in common, but I might get there sometime.
( Dawn wound... )
Fanmix
I see both of these young women as sometimes feeling ostracized, different, left out. Major identity issues, right? But they also have strength and power and independence. So, here is a fanmix honoring that.

Interview a Favorite Character
Jun. 30th, 2014 12:07 amFun challenge at
womenverse to interview a favorite character. I chose to use the so-named Proust Questionnaire as done by Vanity Fair magazine. I've always liked this short, sometimes profound, often silly, format.
The Proust Questionnaire: Martha Rodgers
Vanity Fair is thrilled that this month’s Proust Questionnaire Interview is with Martha Rodgers, currently appearing in the Matrix Theater’s production of The Winter’s Tale, and also mother to famed mystery writer, Richard Castle.

Minor Character Appreciation Post
May. 30th, 2014 07:21 pmFor a challenge at
womenverse, to honor a character that only appears a few times. Ms. Hudson, from Elementary, is played by Candis Cayne, who was just featured in this week's Time Magazine piece on "transgender people who influenced American culture." Here's what Sherlock and Joan say about her--I meant to incorporate these into the cover, but couldn't quite do it. The songs celebrate her strength and her talents, and encourage her to keep being herself!

( Songs! )
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
- Sherlock: Miss Hudson is a fascinating woman. She has an Oxford don's knowledge of ancient Greek, but she's a complete autodidact. Well actually its a very fitting field of study for Ms. Hudson, considering she makes her living as something of a muse.
- Joan: Are we fleeing from the scene of a murder because Miss Hudson and her boyfriend were up half the night yelling at each other?
- Ms. Hudson: He said he wants me back. But…he just wants to stick me in some walk-up, giving me a clothing allowance.
- Ms. Hudson (gesturing around the library): You start with the hard sciences on the north wall, and then you move clockwise around the room in descending order of academic rigor That way, Physics by Aristotle is as far away from You Can Learn Telepathy by Morton Zuckerman as possible...I have a touch of OCD. It seems to flare up after a breakup.
- Watson: I like Ms. Hudson. You know, she's lost. She's just trying to figure herself out…I think it would be good if Ms. Hudson learned to take care of herself, that's all.
