I've been away from the computer visiting with family (which was so, so awesome! it's been so long since I've seen so much of my family with such consistency), so this post is probably not quite as au courant as I'd have liked. But it's been lingering in my "post" file for a while, so I'm doing it. :) (Plus, this is the internet. Conversations never die, they just fade in and out and in and out and... *g*)

There was a meme going around recently a little while ago entitled, Fuck You, She's Awesome, which asked people to list the top ten female characters they loved and were tired of defending. A very cool meme, and I was all set to do it. Eagerly pulling up pictures of Scully to find the perfect image to capture the awesomeness of the very first female character I recalled being bashed in an otherwise entertaining fic. But then I started thinking about female characters I actually don't like. Female characters I knew other people liked quite a lot. Female characters I knew would make someone's list, if not mine.

( It was a sort of self-check... (warning: this gets a bit long) )
