Majoritython: gacked from altariel1

[thrihyrne]

I need this inspiration like a hole in my head. And yet, I want to promote it, so I'm spreading the word. Here's commentary from Altariel:

majoritython: "To celebrate the possibility that (at long, long last) either a woman or a person of color will be the next American president by producing fanworks about people of color and women in positions of political power." This could include:

• Slash, het or gen fic about a woman and/or person of color in any fandom who holds elected or appointed civil office, or who governs or rules a country, planet or federation.


• RPF about a historical or contemporary person of color and/or woman who holds elected or appointed civil office, or who governs or rules a country or sovereign territory.


• Icons, graphics and vids about any of the above.

Brainstorming and signups are going on now; here's the FAQ. And please spread the word around your fandoms!



I have two words: Kingsley Shacklebolt.

She also mentioned Constance Markievicz, someone I'd never heard of. I now want to write historical fiction. This is both really cool, and also something I really Must. Not. Do. Right. Now. But when I go to Ireland next fall, which is part of my Grand Plan, I'll be going to places to do with her. Wow.

Back to your regularly scheduled Thursdays…

Kinsgley Shacklebolt/Harriet Jones.

ooo. now if only throwing Harold Saxon into the mix were allowed and what a deliciously scary trio at 10 Downing Street we could have. . .

I'm going to have to do some research to figure out who the other people are! :is sheepish:

Doctor Who, current run seasons 1, 2 and 3. ;)

I already wrote a couple of Kingsley fics...too soon! Ah, well.

I have other characters demanding attention, and they're all male and Anglo Saxon in origin. :/

Well, feel free to spread the word, if it's of interest. I've not written any Kingsley, but it would be cool if this challenge sparked more stories about him!

I do tend toward the A/S men as well. And in Wraeththu, they're all hermaphrodites, but they all (or nearly all; I've been ignoring the few female ones that seem somewhat peripheral) started life as men.

Awesome. I can see Padma Patil in the future. :D

(& I do love some Kingsley fic!)
