Ladyweek Wrap-Up
A message from me ( @kismetnemesis ), who created and helped to run the event!
To everyone who made art, music, fic, playlists, or anything else for #tazladyweek: THANK YOU!
We’ve ended the week with over 400 submissions on tumblr and nearly 350 on twitter, which is so much more than expected. It really warms my heart that people rose to the challenge of giving our ladies some more love, and in so many jaw-droppingly amazing ways.
I made this event because I love the women of the show so much, and it saddens me that there’s such a lack of content for them. This is the case for a ton of fandoms, which I think is due to a lot of complicated factors (fewer female characters, fewer DEVELOPED female characters, misogyny, lesbophobia, etc). But because YOU participated in the event, you have helped to begin to close this gap in content.
I am writing this because you all have amazed me and given me hope for the future. Going through the tag every day was an incredible experience, even if I did manage to type “Sloane” as “Slaone” approximately a hundred times. It felt great to be flooded with lady-centric content.
The week is over, but if you take one thing from this event, let it be this: keep making lady and femslash content. I guarantee you will make someone happy. Representation matters!
Thank you again for writing, drawing, reblogging, retweeting, and everything. I hope we can do this again sometime soon, and I hope you had as much fun as I did!
