When you write female characters, everyone will only look at how you wrote "a female character".

This wouldn't be a problem if there were more female characters (of all kinds and types) represented in mainstream media, on film and television. No-one would pay so much attention if a character's creator fucks up or does it right, because they'd be held to the same standards as male characters.
Books on the other hand, are doing pretty well imo.

Got any recs? I could use some more books with lots of non-awful female characters.

Anything by Tanith Lee (except Heroine of the World, which was bizarre even for Lee's standards). Lee writes YA, horror, dark romance, science fiction, fantasy...I'm sure you'd be able to find something from her that you'd enjoy. My personal favorites are The Silver Metal Lover (which may be out of print), The Unicorn Trilogy, The Flat Earth Series (though only the last of that series actually has a regular female character). Her collected short stories of fairy tales, Tales from the Sisters Grimmer and Red as Blood have a lot of female characters, obviously.

I really liked HotW, though the character frustrated me quiet a bit.
But i second this rec - Tanith Lee is awesome.

Awwwww, Tanith Lee is fucking great.

My fave from her are the Claidi Journals (Law of the Wolf Tower etc). So beautifully atmospheric.

This was shown to me recently, although I can't tell at a glance if there's anything over young adult books.

Tried Tamora Pierce and Alanna/Dhana?
I'm not sure about Alanna but in Dhana we have lots of awesome female characters *sheepish*

[ooh_mrdarcy]

Any specific genre you're looking for?

Sci-fi and historical fiction! _{Sorry it took me so long to reply to this. I'm such a dweeb.}
