Acknowledgements:
I thought that this challenge, to focus on the women in fandom, was an interesting idea, so I took a look at the Sentinel fandom and chose four stories to podfic.
Maternal Instinct by Autumn Skies
Oil and Water by Jane Davitt
Always and Forever by Rent Girl 2
Something Told the Wild Geese by Blue Wolf (rape scene)

I also did a fan-mix of songs based on these four stories, and it can be downloaded from Megaupload.

There is a wonderful meta essay by magician113 where she not only discusses the role Naomi, Grace and Alex played in the show, but takes a look at most of the other women characters, and how the show treated them. She did this as a complement to my podfics, and I'm very happy she did so.

Links to discussions, podfics, podbooks, texts, fan-mix and the meta essay are here at my lj. I also posted to Dreamwidth.
