"Primitives" by T Bone Burnett on FolkAlley.com |
] |
Recently, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) dragon_fall showed me a few episodes of the television series "Supernatural." It was good, and I really liked the "early X-Files" feel of it. However, I wasn't really able to get into it and it took me a few days to figure out why. Finally, I realized that in the episodes I saw, all the women on this series were either evil, or weak and in need of being saved by a man.
I just can't get into that. For me, a strong, real female character is essential to a good plot, whether it's a movie, a T.V. series, novel, short story, comic, etc. I tend to look up to and admire such female characters and without one, I simply can't connect with the story line.
Yesterday, xenokattz linked to a post by cidercupcakes called the Home Team: The 2009 Match where people nominate their favourite female characters. There are some amazing female characters on the list and there has been so much response, that cidercupcakes had to make a second post. I perused through both Part I and Part II and found lots of female character that I just had to show my support for. Peruse through the list yourself and show your support for your favourite female character!
But even as great as the list already was, there were still a few essential female characters that were mysteriously absent. So of course, I just had to nominate the following:
Ana Lucia Cortez (LOST)
The Unicorn/Lady Amalthea (The Last Unicorn)
Detective Olivia Benson (Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit)
ADA Alexandra Cabot (Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit)
Morgaine of the Fairies (The Mists of Avalon)
Evelyn "Evie" Carnahan-O'Connor (The Mummy Movies)
Scarlett O'Hara (Gone With the Wind)
Joan Girardi (Joan of Arcadia)
Elaine Benes (Seinfeld)

Hello guys!
Since this community has gone silent, I've decided to create a new one. It won't focus exclusively on butch!Olivia (although I personally prefer her that way), but those of you who don't like femme!Olivia certainly have a place there as well. So please do join me at bensonfans.
bensonfansbensonfansbensonfans
I hope to see you there.

This community seems to have been pretty dead for a while now. This is very unfortunate, because we all know how awesome Olivia is. Are there still mods around, or have they gone? Let me know what's happening here; if it's truly dead, I'm going to start another Olivia community.

| Casey/Olivia - episode based series |
[ Friday
30 Jan 2009 1:05pm
] |
Title: Collide
Working Title: How Casey and Olivia became Casey and Olivia
Sub title: Season five Episode 5 “Serendipity”
Series Summary: A series based on what could have happened before, during, or afer an episode. My version of how Casey and Olivia could have realistically come to be.
Episode summary: The unit's got their hands full on a case when they get a new ADA...
Length: Six pages in Word, basic font, size 12
Rating: Just to be safe, over all this series should be considered R, but this particular episode will be TV 14. Because even though they don't swear in the show, we all do in real life.
Disclamier: I do not own the show Law and Order, SVU or the charcters or the scripted episodes, I only have fun with them ;)
Thanks: I would like to thank whatever DVD stuido produced season five b/c if it wasn't for them, closed captioning and the pause button I would never be able to get parts from the episodes right.
I also wanna thank whatever fan fic author (I'm so sorry I have no idea her name) who wrote several Olivia/Alex episode sentric fics that gave me this idea.
Notes: I don't know if you ever notice but based on the dates in the episodes, there's several cases going on at once, I do not have the time to work that in so for this story let's just assume the episodes come right after another, time-wise.
Second note: I like to play with this in my other Casey/Olivia fictions but in this one Olivia and Alex NEVER had a sexual/romantic relationships.
This episode only note: I have only written what happened in this episode, mostly because this is the first episode Casey was in and there were so many important subtext stuff I felt for this first episode I would stick to what actually happened.
Last note: I've read this through, and did my best on typos and grammer but I'm not a very good editer so if you feel the need to let me know about it, go right ahead, I won't take offence. As always, I love feed back, I live for it, please let me know how I'm doing!!! Thanks!
I'm having so much fun writing this and as I do I find myself diving deeper into the charcters of Casey and Olivia then the show ever did, only hinted at. It's a love story and I am a sap for love stories.
( Oh my god that was long! If you read it all I reward you with this cut...

| A completed fanfic!!! - Elective Mutism |
[ Wednesday

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3955360/1/Mutism
COMPLETE! A young girl is victimized but won't talk despite her connection with Liv. When another girl is murdured, the perp leaves a note for Benson so Elliot & Olivia fight to solve the case. Good character moments for Olivia, Elliot, Casey, even Dr. Rebecca Hendrix. Read and review!
Other Stats: Title: Elective Mutism Length: 32,914 words, including Author's notes. :-) Rating: TV-14, for all the same reasons as our beloved show Pairings: True-to-character, with a few snippets of E/O love! heh heh Timeframe: Season 9, sometime during the writer's strike (I only finisehd it about a year too late, lol) Besides the original show characters, the entire storyline and new characters are all mine. Please enjoy! Excerpt: It’s dark. Really dark. She can’t see anything, it’s all fuzzy. And all she can hear is her heart thumping loudly, too loudly, underneath her ribs. Her eyes are all sticky too, like they are covered in dried tears. In fact, her whole body feels icky, and it hurts. She puts her hands on the ground and realizes it’s not a floor she recalls, much less her bed. Suddenly she recognizes that distinct type of alley smell in her nose: all gasoline and dirt and mold and urine. Something else too, something horrid that she’s never smelled before but which is still strangely familiar. Then she remembers. She leaps off the ground, scrambling to grab her jacket and throw it over her shoulders before tearing out of there. Then she runs. She runs and she runs and she runs. She runs until the night turns into a faded dawn. She runs until she has no idea where she is or where she came from. She runs until the images stop flashing over her eyes and she is not worried about her voice working against her will. She runs until she can pretend that nothing ever happened. She runs until she collapses onto the pavement in an exhausted mangled heap, not even understanding that she’s run right into someone. “Whoa there!” Olivia calls, stumbling backward to prevent a fall and raising her right hand so her tea doesn’t slosh over into anyone’s face. She goes to gather the girl to her feet when she gets that familiar tug in her heart. The girl is struggling to breathe and when Olivia gets a glimpse of a bruised and bloody face she immediately drops her cup without thought. “Are you okay? What happened?” Olivia takes in her ripped shorts and misbuttoned jacket and sighs. She can smell a rape victim like it’s a sixth sense of hers. “Did somebody hurt you?” she asks gently, and watches beneath her feet as the girl crumbles into herself from the top down like a building being demolished, one floor upon the other. Olivia supports the girl’s weight with both arms and tells her, “I’m a police officer. You’re safe now, ok? My name’s Olivia. I’m going to take you to the hospital.” and feels the girl go limp against her body. Raising her to her feet by her armpits, Olivia then puts the girl softly into her car. |

Hello everyone, I've had an idea for this fan fiction for about a weekish and have been thinking about it kinda obsessively for the last three or four days so I just had to write it. I'm just posting what I have so far but I hope to really get a jump start on this and post the rest of it (in pieces) over the next...weekish or less I hope.
( A year )

Hi, I'm new to this community, and I don't even know if anyone is still here, seeing as the last post is from April.
So anyway, I'm really glad Mariska finally got her hair cut and I can actually look forward to the new season.
What do you guys think?

| MOD POST: Community Poll |
[ Tuesday
19 Dec 2006 3:48pm
] |
onmyowntoolong and I have decided that we have been kind of sucky mods the past couple of months, and we really want to get this community up and running again, especially the challenges. I, being the wonderful little Political Science major that I am, have put together a poll to see how YOU want them to be run: the same way they are now, "Plan B" which I will explain in a moment, or something completely different that you can suggest in the comments.
We'll call my option "Plan B": We'll provide five screencaps/photos and everyone can submit up to three icons. We'll also keep the Serious? Not! challenge open because we find it highly entertaining. So everyone would be allowed to submit four icons - three from the pictures we'd provide, plus the Serious? Not! one.
I see pros and cons to all options, so onmyowntoolong and I will remain neutral in these proceedings. Once we get a good response from the polls, we'll decide which option to go with for the challenges and hopefully, one will be up by January 1st.
Poll #891984
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: AllHow would you like the icon challenges to be run? How long would you like the challenges to run? How often would you like to change the community header?
