Name/stats/about you: gloss. lesbian, rogue grad student, cat lover, near-Canadian.
How are you participating in ladiesbigbang? Writing fic. I've been trying to choose between a thing about Juliet Burke on LOST as trans or a late-steampunk Gossip Girl AU focusing on Vanessa, Blair, and Serena. I'm currently leaning toward the latter.
Your top three favorite women: Fictionally? Buffy Summers, Maggie Chascarillo, Lisa Simpson, Selina Kyle, Aeryn Sun, and Miss Piggy (that's six. Sue me). Real-life-ly, Hannah Arendt, Angela Davis, and bell hooks.
More space to love on women: I am falling hard for the ladies on Community - they're neurotic and weird and supportive and hilarious. Over the past year, I've also gotten a bit more into anime and manga than I used to be, and I'm head over heels for Pretty Cure (the girls' power comes in holding hands!), Yotsuba&!, and Claymore. I've also been in mainstream comics fandom for a while now, and though current canon hurts my *soul*, I'm never not going to be in love with Catwoman and Wonder Woman and Speedy and Donna Troy and Grace Choi and Scandal Savage and every other brilliant, physically powerful, gorgeous lady, whether she's trying to do right or just trying to survive. I also have a thing for sharp-tongued older ladies, whether Lily van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl or Martha Rodgers on Castle: show me some elegance, perfect confidence, and a little world-weariness, and I'm a goner.
What sort of works do you like to consume/create? I like to write fic and make fanmixes and icons; that describes my consumption of fanworks, too.
What's your style of journaling? Crappy. I'm still finding my legs on DW; entries tend to be short and link-heavy. I rant a lot! Usually about social justice/queer issues. I also talk about TV, comics and knitting.

* Sarah Schulman is one of my favorite pro writers. She's brilliant, funny, revolutionary with form and content, and I wish I could make everyone read her.
