Friday fives (late as usual)

For International Women's Day (every day), five stories about women, some gen and some not:

Bake Sale: A Mixed Media Collage (Joan of Arcadia S1): 40x30", mixed media (wood, paper, oil paint, pencil, metal, tinsel and paper muffin cups, hard candy, photographs, shellacked brownie crumbs and rice krispy treats, coffee beans, chiffon)

Maternity (Angel S3): Darla, navel-gazing

No Oceans Left (Angel S4): Justine: Confined to sex, we pressed against/The limits of the sea:/I saw there were no oceans left/For scavengers like me.

Outcast (Farscape S1): She daydreamed sometimes of how they'd write it up in the histories: the strategies and the battles and Aeryn Sun's braid, as famous a marker as Fekkar's Twilith clan scars or Durka's glass eye.

Truly and Forever (Buffy the Vampire Slayer S6): I love you, she says, I do this because I love you.

My five favorites of my fanfiction, some about women and some not:

The Language of Angels (Angel Sanctuary): Language and longing were all the angels could take with them when they fell.

On the Way to Grandmother's House (Buffy the Vampire Slayer S5): A portrait of the wolf as Little Red Riding Hood. Because anybody can get lost in the woods. ([livejournal.com profile] mimesere made me a cover!)

Rewritten on the Body (Yami no Matsuei): Curses and blessings.

Sleep for grief (The Sandman): New York, Alexandria, Baghdad

Stories Darkness Tells You (Fray): Once upon a time there was a boy who was afraid of the dark and a girl who wasn't afraid of anything. But that was long ago and far away, and neither of them lived happily ever after.

Four of your favorites are four of my favorites and the missing piece is in a fandom I am completely unfamiliar with.

Thank you.

I like writing flowery.

I still love Outcast. Like, a lot.

And Sleep for Grief. And the Fray story. I just love your writing, frankly.

I like those of your favourites I know the fandom for lots, myself. ^_^
