F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

Try girl group fandoms. Girls groups are pretty much all about positivity and female friendship! K-Pop girl groups in particular have overwhelmingly female fanbases in English-speaking fandom, and it seems that Little Mix is going to become a big thing, with a lot of it's online fandom due to the less-crazy fans of One Direction. I'm really into J-Pop girl groups, but a lot of the fandom is male and there isn't much fic, and none of it particularly good.

If you don't mind reading comics, try Batwoman, the 2009 Batgirl series with Stephanie Brown, and the 2011 Wonder Woman series. I've also heard good things about Birds of Prey, but I've only read five issues of it so far so I can't really judge how good it is in the long run, though I've enjoyed what I read.

I'd also recommend the TV show Big Love, but tentatively because it's really weird. It focuses on a polygamist family, and the sister wives are all really well-written characters with a lot of depth. All of the female characters are really great, actually. Though, yeah, it's pretty out-there and the male lead will get on your nerves a lot, but the sister wives each get as much focus as he does and their relationships with each other are a huge part of the show. Also, you mention liking OUAT, and Big Love has Ginnifer Goodwin as the youngest sister wife, Margene, and she's amazing in the role.
