Days Twenty-Nine and Thirty: Female Character Meme

Due to technical difficulties yesterday, I'm doing the last two days in one post.

Day Twenty-Nine: A female-centric fic rec:

In Loco Parentis by dolores_crane Snape/Harry Harry/Hermione

Do not be fooled by the pairings listed: this is a Hermione story, first and foremost. The Hermione in this story is complex, well-written and very close to the one in my head, which is a bit ironic in a story featuring a slash pairing, since all too often, female characters in slash tend to be completely written out or vilified.

This story touches on so many themes most fic tends to leave unexplored-politics, how inherently fucked-up certain aspects of wizarding society are, and abortion rights. And while Snape and Harry undoubtedly play a crucial role, they never overpower Hermione's story, and her personal journey. Bonus points for interactions between women, especially Hermione and a wonderfully fleshed-out Hestia Jones.

Day Thirty: Whatever you'd like! Rather than come up with a new “favorite” category, I'd like to include some of the wonderful female characters I would have liked to make entries for, but that the limited space in the meme meant I had to skip:

( And there are quite a few )

( Days 1-30 )

Well, this was beyond fun. While posting this meme I had to contend with two deadlines and painters around the house, proof positive that I definitely can find more time for posting than I usually do!

Damn you, lj!

Is anyone else having trouble crossposting from dreamwidth?
