These are my stories

Day Thirty: Whatever you’d like!

Today, I'd like to close off this meme with a recommendation. If you like stories about women, if you like to focus on relationships between girls and women that are collaborative and compassionate, rather than antagonistic and competitive, if you are sick of the way fandom (and the world at large) elevates individual women by tearing other women down, go to [community profile] ladybusiness. There you will find excellent commentary, so many book, TV show and film recommendations that you won't know what to buy next, and a welcoming, friendly community. They also run a sideblog on Tumblr called [tumblr.com profile] thefriendshipzone, which focuses on instances of female friendship.

Honestly, [community profile] ladybusiness was my find of the year. I am so happy it exists. When I am talking about women's stories, and about feminism, that is what I mean.

Just wanted to say I've enjoyed reading this series of posts a lot.

I'm glad you've liked them! I had a lot of fun writing them, and it was eye-opening in terms of making me see patterns in my own narrative and characterisation preferences.
