We have noticed a gap between number of stories written about cis-men and those written about other genders and sexes. During last year's exchange, we encountered several characters whom mods and participants did not feel comfortable placing a cut-and-dry gender statement upon, or including under the banner "rarewomen".

As a result, we began the process of changing rarewomen into something that would continue to address underrepresented and\/or marginalized genders or sexes in fanworks, but would also be more inclusive than the name rarewomen suggests.

This year, we will be operating under the name rarelywritten<\/a><\/b>, or RW for shorthand. We are also moving our home base to dreamwidth, with our RSS feed<\/a> [edit 1\/17, thank you <\/a>mk_tortie<\/b><\/a><\/span>!], the RSS feed as an LJ account<\/a>, and tumblr<\/a>. Rules and modus operandi should be the same (with a few small adjustments) aside from the inclusion of other underrepresented and\/or marginalized genders or sexes. This list can include but is not limited to: cis women, transgender women, transsexual women, genderqueer individuals, intersex individuals, gender fluid, a-gender, two-spirit, bigender, pangender, third gender, transgender men, transsexual men. If your character has self-identified as a gender that you are not sure is eligible, please ask and we will be happy to amend the list or clarify for you. One quick question you can ask yourself in regards to eligibility is "would this character feel comfortable being included in an exchange for underrepresented and\/or marginalizes genders or sexes?"

You may recall that last year brought some changes involving including several non-binary, genderqueer characters while remaining under the titular banner of <\/a>rarewomen<\/b><\/a><\/span>. We have been following your response to this, and discussing ourselves and have decided to make a few further adjustments. These will be detailed in a future post, but in short, these changes will include:

- a name change for the exchange that reflects diversity in gender
- clearer language regarding inclusive eligibility of characters
- language in mod communication that is clear, concise, and reflects the shifted focus of the exchange

To do this, we are asking for help. Both mods (<\/a>aphrodite_mine<\/b><\/a><\/span> and <\/a>prozacpark<\/b><\/a><\/span>) identify as cis females, and acknowledge that our privilege doesn't always make for the best resource in this area. Research cannot replace personal experience, and accurate sources can be difficult to track down. So we are seeking out a mini task force to look over our proposed changes and suggest any further adjustments, to call us out on any shit, and to make non-cis voices heard.

12th Century CE RPF

Any Character

Summary

Anything about any of these women would be amazing:D. There's Liang
Hongyu, basically a real life version of Disney's Mulan (brilliant
strategist and general in the Chinese army, winner of battles through
unconventional methods, national heroine in her own right, married to
a fellow general who she fought alongside). Or Tamar of Georgia, Queen
regnant during Georgia's Golden Age, strengthening it politically and
culturally.
Rusudan, her aunt, married to two sultans before returning back to
Georgia; she was apparently a keen scholar, as she was the patron and
tutor of Tamar's second husband David Soslan, and one of Tamar's most
important advisors.
Nest ferch Rhys, the Welsh Helen of Troy, abducted against her will
but nonetheless iron-willed enough to first smuggle her husband out to
safety and then to negotiate her children's return to their father,
before ultimately being rescued. Not to mention her sister-in-law,
Gwenllian ferch Gruffydd, who organized Robin Hood-like raids against
English colonizers of Wales and eventually led her troops into battle.

Gyeongseong Scandal | Capital Scandal

Any Character

Summary

I love all these characters! (And more, so um, if you feel inspired to
write about Sachiko, or Yeo Kyung's mom, or a sympathetic look at
Wan's stepmother, I will absolutely not mind at all!) Yeo Kyung, with
her earnest belief in Patriotism! and Morals! is a particular
favorite, as earnest adorable idealists is a character trope I've
always loved, but also I love her mentoring of Yeong Rang, and how
she, in turn, is mentored by Song Joo.
Cha Song Joo is obviously awesome, seeing as how she's (appropriately)
everyone's favorite, so if you want to write more backstory about her,
particularly as it relates to her relationship with both Yeo Kyung and
her fellow gisaengs, go ahead, by all means.
And Yeong Rang, for that matter--what happens to her after the events
of the series? How much does she ever find out about what happened?
Also, I'd be interested in something about Miyuki, and her perspective
on things, was something I found really interesting--her introduction,
as a Japanese character who nonetheless is more sympathetic and
reasonable than we'd seen so far--and how she approaches the events of
the drama would be very neat.

Much Ado About Nothing - Shakespeare

Any Character

Summary

Oh, I know everyone focuses on the Beatrice\/Benedick (and they are my
Shakespeare OTP as well, so if you want to include them, YES PLEASE)
but I'd love something about these four women. They're close, and one
can assume they've all lived together for years if not all their
lives, but they're so different. What are their relationships and
their loyalties like? They're all clearly upset when Hero is slandered
at the wedding, but at the same time, it's not all sweetness and
light; I've read at least one critical study that hints that the
others' criticisms of Beatrice during the gulling scene are due to
resentment of her cleverness and popularity (which I'm not sure I
entirely buy, but it adds an interesting dimension to their
relationship). Ursula just hangs out in the background and doesn't
have much character development, so expanding on that would also be
something that I'd really like to see! Margaret has no qualms dressing
up as Hero or flirting with Benedick later, but none of the others
seem to mind, which says interesting things about her friendship with
the others and what role social class plays in it as well. So to sum
up; any backstory of their lives and relationships that we don't see
would be great!
Or, I mean, run with a wacky AU, like the cheesy fantasy one where
Hero is a Hero (shining armor and all), Beatrice is the cranky
enchantress, Ursula is the angst were...bear, I guess, if we're going
with thematic names, and Margaret the cheerfully amoral thief every
quest fantasy must have.
(Also, I am....not the biggest fan of Claudio. I'd prefer that Hero be
indeed innocent of any betrayal of him, but uh, if you want to
conveniently write him out or or have him exit pursued by
a...bear?...I would not mind. At all.)

Perilous Gard - Elizabeth Marie Pope

Kate Sutton
Alicia Sutton

Kate one of my most beloved heroines for how very atypical she
is—basically, she gets everything she ever wanted by being surly and
practical and plain-spoken, and her character arc over the novel is
one of my favorites ever, but I’ve had this bizarre fondness for
Alicia that I’ve never been able to explain, so anything about Kate
and Alicia's troubled but loving relationship would be great. Or, the
comedy fic where Alicia attempts to help Christopher plan to woo Kate
(because I can't help but imagine Alicia being horrified at all
Christopher's initial ideas of courtship.) In particular, I've always
wanted to see an AU where Alicia replaces or accompanies Kate on her
exile and also stumbles into the world of the fairies. The
possibilities are endless: Alicia finding another way to free
everyone? Alicia charming the Fairy Folk, or being frustrated when
they don't respond to her? Alicia\/Lord Geoffrey? Alicia\/one of the
Fairy Folk? Alicia\/her own previously-unknown awesomeness? (That said,
Kate\/Christopher is a childhood OTP, so if Alicia is replacing Kate,
I'd prefer Kate and Christopher not be split up.)

The Squire's Tales - Gerald Morris

Lynet
Lorie
Eileen

I love this series (and I've squeed about it in previous letters, so
definitely check those out if interested!). Lynet and her practicality
and steadfast unromantic nature is a delight, as is her banter with
Gary, so anything that bridges the gap between SD&D and Lioness and
her Knight would be amazing. Cameos from Lyonesse, or Morgan, or fluff
with Gaheris, would also be fantastic!
Lorie, on the other hand, is still a cipher to me. She has a few
cameos, and is clearly Ragnelle, but whereas Dame Ragnelle in the
ballad is enchanted, we never really find out what Lorie's deal was
with the loathly lady thing. Moreover, she's rude and brash in her
very first appearance but then settles down into Proper Lady mode; but
which is her real self? (And is she secretly much snarkier than she
appears?) I would love to read anything that delved into her and her
motivations (or at least what she was doing behind the scenes in
Avalon all those years.)
With regards to Eileen, I'd love to hear about another adventure that
she had with Gawain and Terence (we might never hear about her going
questing in the books, but I refuse to believe she just sat quietly at
Camelot all those years.) Otherwise, anything about how she managed to
keep a secret marriage under wraps for sixteen years would also be
something to explore.
Otherwise, anything that kept the general feel and delightfulness of
these books would be wonderful.

    Widow Lucas | Granny
    Cinderella | Ashley Boyd
    Mulan (Once Upon a Time)
    Milah (Once Upon a Time)
    Jack (Once Upon a Time)

Summary

    More detail to come in the letter, but:

    - I'm curious about Granny and her postwerewolf life, before and after Red\/Ruby. In Storybrooke, how much of a figure is she, especially after the curse was broken?

    - What is Mulan's OUAT backstory, and why was she traveling and having adventures and not in the military or at home or in her land's court?

    - Milah's pov to fill-in canon. Also, that Milah-is-Captain-Hook AU I ran into on Tumblr. Make up your own reason for it or go with the same motivation of the canon Hook, with the bonus of her wanting to find her son as well. I personally would still ship this version of Hook with Emma by the way, but I'm not in an exclusive relationship with that idea! Especially because I get feeling the taboo when it could be seen as pseudo-incestuous.

    - Jack. What is her life as a rogue James Bond?

    - Cinderella | Ashley Boyd. What was it like trying to make it work in Storybrooke, where after Emma's interference she was getting her happy ending well before the curse was actually broken? It's interesting that it seems she got a happier ending there than in the Enchanted Forest. How was she in that time between the loss of Thomas and when the curse hit?

    There is canon het--and a little femslash--in some of these, but I would welcome more femslash! Or gen. Or gen that includes either or both of those.

Dragon Age - All Media Types
Summary

    All the fandom hatred towards Isolde has made me a huge fan of hers, and what I really want out of this is a story that keeps the more questionable aspects of her character while still giving her a voice and a point of view. Or! A gothic AU where Isolde saves the castle from the demons.

    I love Warden!Bethany to a ridiculously degree and am fascinated by all the changes her character goes through under this arc. I love that she learns to question things she took for granted, and love the strength of character that she develops. I just want more Warden!Bethany, especially in the context of the new life she's developed colliding with her old one. The visits from Warden!Bethany are some of my favorite parts of my DAII playthroughs.

    Sophia Dryden as a human fascinates me and Sophia as a creepy possessed entity scares me, and I really, really find the intersection of these two intriguing. Tell me about Sophia before the war, after the war, or Sophia trying to cling to her humanity as the thing that came to wear her face slowly took over.

Pretty Little Liars


    Alison DiLaurentis

Summary

    I am endlessly fascinated by Alison and her tendency to perform various versions of herself. I am not at all there for an apologist view of Alison, though I would love one that's three-dimensional. I tend to think that Alison does care about the liars, but she just loves herself SO MUCH MORE that everyone else kind of gets sidelined as Alison creates the best version of her story for herself.

    I do buy the vulnerability that the current canon shows up with Alison, but I also think that that just makes her more dangerous (to the liars, and in general), because everything she learned for fun is now being used for survival, and every act and every lie is so much more vital now.

    I would love an Alison character piece. More details in my letter.

apocalypse and then finding out that there's a cure.

Or just them dealing with life after the three aired eps.

If you have uploaded your story (THANK YOU) here's a short list of things to consider:<\/b>
-- the archive will go live no earlier than, but possibly ON May 10th. Any edits\/beta work\/massive overhauls should be complete AS FAR AHEAD OF THAT DATE AS POSSIBLE to avoid an incomplete\/sloppy story going live. Think how you would feel if your gift ended mid-sentence! We *will* post here a few hours before hitting go, but that won't give you much time even IF you happen to be watching your LJ feed.
-- do you have your story saved as a Draft, rather than Published? CHANGE IT. Your recipient will NOT be able to read your fic if it isn't published! You will be counted as a defaulter and we'll need a last-last minute pinch. Please don't do that -- your fic is ALREADY UP!

If you were granted an extension\/have a later due date for a pinch, these notes are for you:<\/b>
-- please (PRETTY PLEASE) keep me (aphrodite.mine at gmail dot com) updated on your progress. If you think you may need another day, LET ME KNOW. If you come down with the stomach flu and won't be able to finish, LET ME KNOW. The sooner we know of issues, the sooner we can fix them.
-- If it means a story for everyone, we will delay opening the archive. But remember, EVERYONE will be waiting, even you. So take a break to walk around the house, eat a protein bar, and power write! (Kidding, I'm kidding. But also not.)

If you still need a beta and can't find one elsewhere, please email me! I will send the request out to our beta volunteers, and even read it over for you if there's no response!

--

In summation, take a moment to double-check that your story is 100% a-okay, have a great night, and start counting down to a beautiful archive full of stories about rarewomen of all sorts!"},{"id":"urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:rarewomen:26708","author":{"name":"hell to ships, hell to men, and hell to cities."},"link":[{"@attributes":{"rel":"alternate","type":"text\/html","href":"https:\/\/rarewomen.livejournal.com\/26708.html"}},{"@attributes":{"rel":"self","type":"text\/xml","href":"https:\/\/rarewomen.livejournal.com\/data\/atom\/?itemid=26708"}}],"title":"archive closes in about an hour.","published":"2014-05-05T07:50:31Z","updated":"2014-05-05T07:50:31Z","content":"Just a friendly reminder that I'll be closing the archive for uploading before going to bed in a little over an hour, at 4 am CST.

As prozacpark posted, here is a list of every request for this year<\/a>. There's also a wonderful spreadsheet of letters<\/a> if you want to shop around. Treats can be any length, so if you find yourself with inspiration or time to spare, get writing!

2) Reviewing the revised deadlines

Just to reiterate:
April 25:<\/b> Last date to drop without penalty; drops after this date subject to potential banning in 2015
May 4:<\/b> Stories due to AO3
May 10<\/b> (or early May, depending on any pinch hit issues): Stories and authors revealed; authors may share their (and others') work via link
May 17<\/b> (or a week after the archive opens): Stories may be cross-posted to other places.

As with last year, treating is not only welcomed, but desperately encouraged. The main goal of this ficathon was always to generate more fanfic about overlooked female characters, and treats certainly help with that. We're leaving all requests visible<\/a>, so you are free to write as many fics of any length as you like. You do not have to be an official participant in order to write treats, so feel free to link the spreadsheet and requests around, if you think other people might be interested in writing you (or others) treats. [Here's a tumblr post you can reblog<\/a> for that purpose.]  Stories will be revealed on May 10th, so all treats should be uploaded by then.

Letters:<\/b> If your writer hasn't yet updated their placeholder or there are other concerns about letters, please, drop me a message through an LJ PM, and I will try my best to get in touch with them.  Likewise, if you have additional questions for your recipients, I can also ask those.

Please, also remember that letters are recommended, but not required, so your recipient may very well never put one up. In that case, assume that they don't have any strong squicks or dislikes that they wish for you to avoid rather than assuming that they'll hate it.

So there are remix challenges happening, which is always exciting, because I love remix!

But remix often comes with issues of not having the ability to specify that you aren't a big fan of slash or mostly write women. While that can sometimes be part of the fun, it's also really frustrating when you've got a bunch of awesome stories about women and one not-as-awesome story about men and that one not-as-awesome story is the one that gets remixed because your author doesn't write women.
So are you into stories about women? Have you written stories about women? Would you like to read and write more of them? Would you like to read and write stories based on other people's stories? Yes? Motherfucking yes? Well then, I want to hear about it!

I was up most of last night waiting for it to come back up so I could modify the sign-ups and start the matching before going to bed.  I set the system to generate matches right around 5am, and was really hoping that it would be done by the time I got back home, if not by the time I got up.   I am not sure why it's taking so long.

Once all the possible matches have been generated, the mods will still have to play around with the results a bit to make sure that the maxium number of people have matches, assign recipients to those without one, and determine what needs to be sent out for pinches, etc.
