[ira_gladkova]

Thank you to everyone who spread the word for our 5 Things Challenge! Some of the contributions included F.L.A.R.E. and ConFrancisco — so awesome to see more con stuff on Fanlore; keep it up folks! Remember, you're always welcome return to a challenge anytime!

For now, it's time for our new challenge!

Women Characters Challenge

As the observation of Women’s History Month in many parts of the world wraps up, why not give one last hurrah to the amazing women in our favourite canons? Tell us all about your fannish experiences with women characters — the women themselves, the relationships they’re in (het, lesbian, canonical, fannish, whatever!), the fanworks they star in — whatever you can think of! Stub out pages, or add a sprinkle of information on an existing page — let’s show how much we love these amazing women!

Please do feel free to drop a comment letting us know what you've added, or to ask any questions you may have! This challenge will last through April 11; the clock starts now: ready — set — go!

Here are a few quick resources to help you get started! We have templates, help pages, and more for each of characters, ships, and fanworks! Please feel free to check the category pages for each ot get a feel for what's already the (though don't be afraid to flesh out existing pages!), and the Help pages to learn about Fanlore policies and practices for each!

Yay! Awesome challenge. I linked to it on Tumblr.

Woo! Thank you for the signal boost! ♥

I went to (hopefully) add to the Ugly Bettry article

[sherrold]

but there was no such thing. I started an article on the fandom, but the character needs an article too...

Awesome, thank you for starting the fandom page! Hopefully, folk will come along and add to/edit character pages — though of course you're welcome to stub something out for her if you're up to it =)

I made a page for Kate Heightmeyer and the sg_femslash comm and in a moment of prescience, Laura Cadman I had made the page a few hours before this announcement.

All are stubs and need more knowledgeable fans to flesh them out, but it's a start!

A page for Haven might yet appear too.

[ira_gladkova]

Definitely a start — and great stubs, too! Thank you so much! (Love the moment of prescience, too, that is so awesome XD)

[such_heights]

Fleshed out the page for Martha Jones!

[ira_gladkova]

Awesome, thank you so much! With appropriate icon — gosh she does look fierce!

[meri_oddities]

This has been fun so far. I created: Narcissa Malfoy and Molly Weasley for Harry Potter. Dr. Temperance Brennan for Bones.

[ira_gladkova]

I'm always surprised by who doesn't even have stubs yet (none of these ladies had stubs?) — thank you so much for making these!

I stubbed out a page on Kaylee Frye.

And I added one for Inara, so the ladies of Firefly are all accounted for. But they're all stubs, so if anyone wants to add details that would be awesome!

[ira_gladkova]

Awesome work by you and the contributor below! It's so great to see the Firefly ladies all together on Fanlore =D

* [[Abigail Crabtree]]

* [[Jeannie Walton]]
* [[Diana Harmon]]
* [[Edith Dobey]]
* [[Minnie Kaplan]]
* [[Joan Meredith]]
* [[Kathy Marshall]]
* [[Kira (Starsky & Hutch)|Kira]]
