Two Pieces of Meta by hellkitty

[hellkitty]

Frag: this was supposed to be up two days ago and I completely spaced. My sincerest apologies. :C


2 pieces of meta by hellkitty .

Fandom(s):  Transformers
Character(s)/Pairing(s):  Arcee, IDW, canon female humans
Content Notes/Warnings:  Right. I haven't done official gender studies stuff on women in AAAAGES.  So I'm a little rusty. And the fact that I did used to do it, academically, means that the tone may ring a little...academic.  My honest intent was to give the Standard Ivory Tower interpretation of these things, rather than indicate that this is How One MUST Read Them. I want to spark discussion and thought, rather than make anyone feel that I'm telling them they're wrong.  

The first piece deals with IDW's two different origin stories of Arcee and how we read that.  The second is about the human females in canon and how desperately hard it is to avoid the dreaded accusation of Mary Sue, and, perhaps, if one should really be that anxious about it after all.

Link to Mary Who?

Again, I'm sorry I'm late on these--I've had some pretty awful news this week and it entirely slipped my mind. I'd rather post late than not support such a wonderful endeavor at all. 

"This Land of Steel" - fiction by rustydragonfly

[rustydragonfly]

Fandom(s): Original ("trainverse" by pointytilly)
Character(s)/Pairing(s): original characters, no pairing
Wordcount | Rating: 15588, R for some swearing, though aside from that and the aforementioned warnings, should be reasonably safe
Content Notes/Warnings: mild medical issues re: overheating/heatstroke, partial temporary possession
Summary: Arleen Kendrick is grounded. More accurately, her ship's grounded, and the repairs aren't enough to keep a bored programmer from wandering. Wander she does—straight into a project with a paranoid computer.
Acknowledgments: My thanks go to:

pointytilly, for letting me use their world and characters, being so patient with my constant "ahh these aren't mine I'm going to screw them up moments" and helping me edit my scrawlings into a coherent story.

bliumchik, for the fantastic mix, great art, and kind words.

pointytilly owns the setting the characters of Arleen, Sam, and Gregg, and Blue and the swarm's species. Blue and the swarm themselves are mine.

Listen to the mix here!
