Bechdel test meme!
Dec. 28th, 2009 04:47 pmI have finished my holiday writing and feel pretty good about it all! I have not sent out any of my holiday mail, but it's a start dammit. Also, there are some new people, welcome aboard and don't be afraid to comment!
Thanks to everyone who sent me stuff, snowflakes and thoughts! I love you guys.
So as a thank you, and to celebrate my actually getting shit done, I'm doing the Bechdel test meme.
You give me:
1. Two women (in my fandoms plz)
2. And a prompt-- word, quote, song, whatever--
and I'll give you a drabble of them talking about something other than a man!*
If you are unsure of a fandom, just ask. Crossovers welcome!
* I have kept the original Bechdel language, but any character who is not a cisgender male can qualify. Alas, in my fandoms I think this probably means, er, Kanzeon. But I love Kanzeon and Kanzeon prompts are welcome, as well as anyone else I forgot about. EDIT to clarify: This is because I write too much about cis men, not because all non-cis-men are the same.

axelrod points out, the Bedchel test is about specifical problems in portrayals, and I'm messing with it a bit.
For those of you wondering about the rule, here's the original strip that started it all.
