Preliminary qualifying fandoms!

[theladyscribe]

So, based on my extremely scientific method of asking people what they've written, here is the preliminary list of fandoms used as "qualifying fandoms." (By "qualifying fandoms," I mean that anyone who signs up should fit the base requirement of THREE 500+ word stories OR FIVE 100+ word stories in at least one of those fandoms by the end of sign-ups.)

Everything listed below were mentioned four times or more as being fandoms they have already written. If there are other fandoms you'd like to be considered "qualifying fandoms" list, please comment here. (It would also be helpful if you can show that there are other authors interested.)

Tentative Qualifying Fandoms (with mentions):

• Babylon 5 (4)
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer (9) -- does not include Angel (3)
• DC Comics Movies (4) - Batman and Superman
• Doctor Who (5)
• Fairy Tales (6) -- includes Disney Princesses
• Game of Thrones (5)
• Marvel Cinematic Universe* (17)
• Pacific Rim (4)
• Star Trek TOS (5)
• Stargate Atlantis/SG-1 (7)
• Supernatural (4)
• White Collar (4)
• The X-Files (4)

*At this point, I think Agents of SHIELD will be listed separately from Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I am open to discussion on this.

There were several more fandoms with 2-3 mentions, so if you think yours might be close, please comment/gather your friends to get it more support!

Ohh, I see. Hmm. Is that something I should ask the general Tolkien peeps about, if qualifying is going to be difficult?

No, I don't think that needs to be a question. There are enough female characters for fic writers to qualify somewhat easily, but for every female character in existence there are plenty of invisible ones who must have existed - see here for a breakdown of named male vs. female characters, and the family tree on the same site shows where the women are missing-but-must-have-been-there.
