A new meme: 10 great characters who are not cis dudes

[frayadjacent]

OK, I'm gonna make this a meme; feel free to take it up if you want!

A ten day meme: each day, write a post about one of your favorite women, trans*, and/or genderqueer characters. A tribute, a defense, an epic meta, a bullet-points list of why you love them, whatever you like! Or post a rec for a vid, fic, meta, or other fanwork that illustrates why you love them.

Here will probably be mine:

Sarah Manning
Cordelia Chase
Tyra Colette
Aeryn Sun
Joan Watson
Joss Carter
Leslie Knope
Xena
Willow Rosenberg
Buffy Summers

(additional candidates: Poussey Washington, Hermione Granger, Siobhan Sadler, Dawn Summers)

This seems like a fantastic idea! I'm thinking of doing this meme myself if I have time (ack, too many deadlines!) Anyway, now I wonder if Illyria from Angel the series would qualify...

[frayadjacent]

YES, Ilyria would be awesome! And is totally not a cis guy. :D

[endeni]

Awesome! That's settled then! *claps hands excitedly*
Now I just have to squeeze some time in... - LOL, I wasn't kidding about deadlines, I was just re-ordering my project folder according to what's most urgent and it seems that I have fannish projects lined up until circa mid-December... o_O

[frayadjacent]

Awesome, and yeah I'd be delighted to read your thoughts whenever you have time. :)

Oh, wow, that's great, thanks so much for the encouragement! :)
